A Shakespearean Wassail (SATB div.)

Hot off the presses, a spectacular new recording of “A Shakespearean Wassail” by the Rocky Mountain Chamber Choir. The 3rd and final instalment of my Shakespearean Choral Trilogy.

Dedicated to my father Douglas Rain, a Shakespearean actor, who left this mortal coil 5 years ago, on Remembrance Day in Canada (Nov 11), and who (like me) enjoyed “the occasional beer.”
