This CD
is dedicated to the memory of Frances Brennan-McBride (1951
- 2004),
our dear friend, choir member and soprano soloist, who
embodied the true spirit of the Choir.
Frances lost her valiant battle against cancer in August
2004 and we are grateful
to be able to include her beautiful rendition of "Suo
Gan" in this album (track 15)
