Recorded by: Chorale Saint-Jean, Dr. Laurier Fagnan, conductor.

If you are like me, you are hoping we will be able to do Christmas concerts in 2020. If you are looking for a new affirming Christmas piece with French text, I suggest you consider this one: "Noël existe-t-il encore?".
The work is not overly difficult and has a lovely text and tune by Dr. France Levasseur-Ouimet. 
In 2009, I arranged this work for SATB voices and piano. It is now available through Cypress Choral Music (CP1798).
Visit Cypress Choral Music for the full text, a translation, the complete score,  Chorale Saint-Jean's fine recording, and ordering information.

I am an award-winning Canadian composer, living in London, Canada, who specializes in arranging and composing choral music. I believe that music should be concerned with beauty, intellect, and the state of the soul. I feel that music should strive to move people deeply, and to re-connect them with the sense of sacred. I also believe that the text that inspires an individual work is of paramount importance, and that it should be of the highest quality. This is what challenges and inspires a composer to respond in kind.

​My music is published in Canada, by Cypress Choral Music, Rhythmic Trident Music, and the Canadian Music Centre, and in the U.S.A. by Colla Voce, Lorenz Corporation, Randall Egan Music, and Santa Barbara Music Publishers.
​
I compose on commission, and many of my best-known works have come about that way! Some past commissioners include Edmonton Metropolitan Chorus, Ariose Women's Choir, Chorale Saint-Jean, Chorus Niagara, Pro Coro Canada, Vancouver Chamber Choir and Women of Note to name just a few.

I am Director of Music at the Church of St. John the Evangelist, London and the Artistic Director of chamber choir, Chor Amica. 

I encourage you to listen to (see Listen) and to read about my compositions, publications, and premieres (see Blog) and to inquire with any questions you may have: info@allanbevan.ca
