40th Anniversary Celebration Archival CD Album - “Reflections”

Newly launched and released on 18 November 2012

The Carlson Chorale’s 3rd CD, “Reflections” was recorded to celebrate the Carlson Chorale’s 40th Anniversary since its inception in 1972.

The 21 tracks are a remarkable record of the development of the sound of this award winning female chamber choir spanning the history of The Carlson Chorale’s choral singing from 1980-2012 under the baton of Rosalind Carlson - Sydney based composer, conductor and music educator.

It includes six tracks recorded in Concert in the Rosslyn Hill Chapel, London on 6 January 1980 during the Chorale’s European Tour.

Mountain Nights No. 1 - Zoltán Kodály (Soloists: Elizabeth Dick/Lesley Head) (Boosey & Hawkes Pub. Ltd. - London)
See the Gypsies - Hungarian Folk Song - arr. Zoltán Kodály (Oxford University Press - Great Britain)
The Angels and the Shepherds - Zoltán Kodály (Soloists: Elizabeth Dick/Lesley Head) (Universal Edition Ltd. - London)
The Lord is my Shepherd - Franz Schubert (Oxford University Press - London)
The Virgin’s Cradle Hymn - Edmund Rubbra (Oxford University Press - London)
The Three Drovers - Five Australian Christmas Carols. First Set - James/Wheeler (Chappell & Co. Ltd. - London and Sydney)

The next two works were recorded by the ABC in the 1992 “Horizons Series” - a Festival of Contemporary Australian Choral Music - at the Eugene Goossens Hall Sydney on 20 September 1992. These are Anne Boyd’s “The Last of His Tribe” and Ross Edward’s “Five Carols from Quem Quaeritis” both of which are “licensed courtesy of Australian Broadcasting Corporation”.

In 1997 at the 3rd Australian Women’s Music Festival held in Sydney, The Carlson Chorale gave an hour recital of Australian Choral works at St. Scholastica’s Chapel, Glebe on 28 September 1997. From this programme Moneta Eagles’ “Night’s Thoughts” is included in this album.

The remainder of this archival album was recorded on 16 September 2012 in the magnificent acoustics of the Convent Chapel, Mount St. Benedict Convent, Pennant Hills, NSW.

“Reflections” not only reflects the history, repertoire and sound of the Carlson Chorale over the past 40 years but is a reflection of the love of choral singing and dedication to performance of its founder and conductor Rosalind Carlson.

“Reflections” CDs are available for $25.00 plus delivery.
