An approachable and engaging work, Beverley's 'All That We Are' explores gentle jazz harmonies and syncopations through her setting of her own text, based in Anishinaabe teachings. She writes: "The inspiration for “All That We Are” comes from the Anishinaabe concept of “mino-bimaadiziwin” (the good life) and the Seven Grandfather teachings of Wisdom, Love, Respect, Bravery, Honesty, Humility and Truth. It was originally written for solo vocalist with instrumental accompaniment as the opening song for Beverley’s suite, “Boozhoo Manoomin”, which honours “manoomin” (wild rice) and its importance to the Anishinaabeg."
Suitable for choirs with a wide range of abilities, "All That We Are" will quickly become a chorister favorite!
McKiver: All That We Are
We are not a traditional publisher - 80% of profits go directly to the composers, and musica intima only retains a 20% administration fee. Please order the number of copies you intend to print, and continue to support the composers who create choral music. This art form would not exist without them.
Many years in the dreams of ensemble singers, musica printima was formally established in 2022, as a composer-centric, exclusively digital publisher. With a small but spectacular catalogue of music commissioned by, written for, or performed by musica intima, the imprint exists to ensure that composers intentions are honoured in the publishing of their works, and that the profits find their way back to the composer, without the publisher interfering. 80% of earnings from musica printima sales go to the composer - without whom, these works would never have come to life. Please support their art by not photocopying this music.
