Canadian Safari

Cypress Choral Recording, Catalogue No. CCR0603 (released 1998)
Distributed by SRI, Peterborough, ON
Recorded in Vancouver, BC

In the summer of 1997 the lions of Chor Leoni had the opportunity to go on "safari" to Pacific and Atlantic Canada, so we decided to collect a group of these Canadian songs and sing them for (and often with) our wonderful hosts in Vancouver, Salt Spring Island, Victoria, St. John's, Baddeck, Cheticamp, Truro, Charlottetown, Indian River, and Halifax. Our love affair with Canadian folk music proved so fruitful that we decided to record a CD for you in the spirit of strengthening the musical bonds that tie us together and so firmly say "Canada".

Canadian Safari has become Skylark's top selling compact disc!
