This recording traverses Canada, America and the British Isles in music that has helped define the culture of those nations. England is represented by two of its most celebrated composers, Holst and Vaughan Williams, and the iconic Scottish Auld Lang Syne is traditionally sung to greet each New Year. Celebrated Canadian songs include Jimmy Rankin's Juno Award-winning Fare thee well love. Eric Whitacre's distinctive harmonic clusters can be heard in Go Lovely Rose, and Gordon Lightfoot counts Bob Dylan among his many fans, Dylan once declaring that when he heard a song such as Pussywillows, cat-tails he wished 'it would last forever'.

Novello: Perchance to dream
Vaughan Williams: Three Shakespeare Songs
Whitacre: Flower Songs (3)
