Good Night, Good Night, Beloved! offers a rare glimpse into cultural life in Montreal in the second half of the 19th century. On this recording VivaVoce pays tribute to the Montreal Mendelssohn Choir, one of the pillars of Montreal musical life for three decades. What began as a small group of relatives and friends grew into a choral society of some 120 voices, whose annual concerts were one of the highlights of the cultural and social calendar of English-speaking Montreal. The Montreal Mendelssohn Choir specialized in English part-song repertoire. He revered Joseph Gould for giving him a new sonic experience. After the ensemble disbanded in 1894, its library of scores was bequeathed to McGill University. All tracks on this CD except “Good Night, Good Night, Beloved!” come from this collection.
VivaVoce was founded in Montreal in 1998 by Peter Schubert. Winner of several awards, this ensemble specializes in the interpretation of classical music from all eras while developing the repertoire of Canadian choral music, by commissioning at least one new work each year.
