“Sing the World” – "Pro patria mori", by Brisbane composer Phillip Gearing, was born out of a visit by the composer to the grave in north-west France of his great-uncle who died of wounds in 1917, and viewing a powerful display of armed conflicts since 1950 at the Imperial War Museum in Manchester.

“Sing the World” – Antonio Estevez’s “Mata del Anima Sola” is characterised by contrast - a slow, meditative solo opening evoking solitude, vastness, mystery & an atmosphere of stillness, followed by a vibrant pulse of folk rhythm in which the choir provides the sound of the instruments.

"Sing the World" - Canticum is thrilled to perform a new 8-part composition by Slovenian Nana Forte, “O Oriens”. A choral singer herself, Forte has created rich harmonies, rhythmical flow, interwoven parts – a beautiful setting of a beautiful text, everything a choir and audience could wish for.

Sing the World - 30 years of Canticum. The traditional isiXhosa song "Indodana", arranged by South African composers Michael Barrett & Ralf Schmitt, mourns the crucifixion of Christ with haunting harmonies & spiritual depth making it one of the most emotionally resonant pieces in choral repertoire.

Morten Lauridsen’s "Sure on this Shining Night" is described as a meditation on kindness, peace & wonder. Written in solitude on Waldron Island in the far wildlands of Washington state, the piece speaks of healing, health, & awe — themes that resonate deeply in times of uncertainty and reflection.
