GRASSLAND from Unsung - If the Earth Could Sing (Katerina Gimon)

Unsung - If the Earth Could Sing is a multi-movement environmentally inspired choral work for SSAA choir, percussion, and cello with music by Katerina Gimon and text by Lauren Peat. This work , commissioned by Myriad, centers around the question “if the earth could sing, what would it tell us?”. The environmental crisis has been called the “biggest threat modern humans have ever faced” (United Nations, 2021) and Unsung aims to shed light on its impacts on Canadian landscapes, using choral music as a form of advocacy and a voice for change. Grassland focuses on the disappearing native grassland in the Canadian Prairies (only about 25% still remain) and the species that rely on them to survive. We hope this piece shines light on this important issue, and Earth Day will give you an opportunity to reflect on the importance of protecting our planet to ensure a sustainable and healthy future for all.
