Turlutte Acadienne Montréalaise

This piece uses an original melody hailing from the traditional Acadian and Québecois musical practice of the “turlutte,” or mouth-reel. The singers get to explore different sounds which immatate a mouth-reel, all while performing with exceptional artistry.

Tihs piece by living composer Mia Markaroff is a beautiful mix of Latin and Sami languages, using traditional Catholic texts with the composers own words to explore the concepts of forgiveness, and hope.
