ShadowLand
Our second recording, ShadowLand, has received the 2010 National Choral Recording Award from the Association of Canadian Choral Communities!
The recording features repertoire that is almost entirely Canadian, including Leonard Enns' Juno-nominated Nocturne, Jeff Enns' Moonset, Imant Raminsh's O ignis spiritus, Murray Schafer's The searching sings, and more. The one non-Canadian work is audience-favourite, Eric Whitacre's When David heard.
"DaCapo has … produced a musical gem; be sure to add this recording to your choral music wish list." - International Choral Bulletin Critic's Pick review, 2011, Vol. XXX, no. 1

NotesTowards
Featuring the DaCapo Chamber Choir performing Notes towards a Poem that can never be written: "a shattering experience of Margaret Atwood’s nearly
brutal poetry, linked with Corlis’ masterful writing. It is twenty-five
of the most intense minutes of listening you are likely to experience." ~ John S. Gray, WholeNote Magazine, September 2008.
Solo performances on the CD by cellist Ben Bolt-Martin, violinist Jerzy
Kaplanek, pianist Heather Dawn Taves, soprano Sheila Dietrich and tenor
Brandon Leis. Texts by Margaret Atwood and G. Victor Toews.
NorthWord
DaCapo also appears on the Elora Festival Singers' NorthWord CD on the Centrediscs label of the Canadian Music Centre. This recording, featuring Noel Edison and the Elora Festival Singers, along with oboist James Mason and organist Jurgen Petrenko, is a disc of Leonard Enns’ choral music.
