Healing Voices

Cypress Choral Recording, Catalogue No. 0602 (released 2006)
Distributed by Chor Leoni
Recorded in Vancouver, BC

Chor Leoni undertook the Healing Voices project at the request of music therapist Valerie Weeks, as a service to music therapists and others who work in the patient and people care field. Valerie and others have remarked on the special effect which male choral singing has for patients and clients. She and other music therapists and caregivers have used Chor Leoni recordings in their work in areas such as hospices and palliative care. Healing Voices is a compilation of previously released tracks, live performances, and new recordings selected by Valerie and our artistic director, Diane Loomer. This project received the 2008 Outstanding Sponsorship Award from the Association of Canadian Choral Conductors.

Chor Leoni has made the decision to release this CD as a non-profit enterprise and for this reason it will not be available via the e-commerce section of the choir's web site. Everyone involved with the project, including conductor, producer, instrumentalists, singers, composers, arrangers, photographers, proof readers, graphic artists, CD manufacturer, choir volunteers, distributors, and therapists (to name most, but not all) have donated their time, expertise, and devotion to allow us to sell it at cost.
