Chor Leoni’s very first CD, Songs of War and Peace, was a compilation of music performed at our early annual Remembrance Day concerts. Since that time, with the realization that war does not lead to peace, we have increasingly dedicated our concerts to the citizens of all nationalities and faiths who have experienced loss and deserve our compassion. Circle of Compassion is a compilation of this music; much of it either commissioned by, or arranged for, Chor Leoni. It is a choral tour de force and offers a stunning view of Chor Leoni’s controlled power. The CD contains music from many lands, cultures, and languages, from Canada to Japan, from Russia to Spain, from Germany to England. We offer it as compassion and consolation to all those who have suffered loss.
