Cantamus Training Choir performs 'I Remember' (Quartel)

‘I Remember’ by Canadian composer Sarah Quartel contemplates friendship through the prism of the natural world.
Lyrics:
I remember, I remember
Days of sunshine, days of rain.
I remember, I remember
Knowing spring will come again.
And when I sing, I remember
All the wonder I have seen:
Waters reaching the horizon,
Waves that carry you and me.
I remember this, my friend.
I remember, I remember
Golden summers when corn is high.
I remember, I remember
Branches reaching to the sky.
And when I sing, I remember
All the harvests of the field.
Fruits of love that lie in waiting,
All the bounty now revealed.
I remember this, my friend.
In my song there’s a race through a wild green meadow,
The sunshine bright in my eyes.
In my song there’s a day by the cool of the water,
Knowing you’re by my side;
Knowing you’re by my side again.
I remember, I remember
All the loved ones I have known.
I remember, I remember
All they’ve taught me, how I’ve grown.
When I sing I remember
Many lives that share my song;
Brought together in a moment
Finding somewhere to belong.
And I remember you my friend,
I remember you my friend.
