Скачать или смотреть “Lead Us Home” By: Matthew Emery commissioned by NYO Canada 2018

The 2020 NYO Canada orchestra is pleased to present their rendition of Matthew Emery’s “Lead Us Home,” commissioned by NYO in 2018. It’s an NYO tradition to end with a song, and we wanted this year to be no different, this piece typically sung by the orchestra SATB as an encore during the tour, has transformed in the past two years into the anthem of NYO Canada beloved by the musicians who premiered it and the many audience members who heard it. This is a favourite of ours and we hope that you enjoy it.

Les membres de NYO Canada 2020 sont heureux de présenter la pièce “Lead Us Home” de Matthew Emery, commandée par NYO en 2018. À NYO, nous avons comme tradition de terminer les concerts en chantant. Au cours des deux dernières années, la pièce “Lead Us Home”, adorée des musiciens, est devenue l’hymne de NYO Canada.
Cette pièce nous rappelle l’espoir que que la musique nous apporte quand on chante et on écoute.

"O though the way be rough and long,
And dangers lurk on every side,
Yet still we lift our constant song,—
And music shall be our guide.
Though tempests fill the empty sky,
And terrors vex the circling night,
Yet still with one accord we cry,—
And music shall be our light.
Though fear should follow all the way
Along the path our feet must roam.
Yet still with heart and voice we say,—
Music shall lead us home."
