Composer: Isabel Belina
Arranger: Frances Farrell
Format: Choral Octavo
Voicing: SATB Accompanied

This choral love letter to Nova Scotia features accessible choral harmonies that complement Isabel Belina's original contemplative lyrics and haunting melodies. The accompaniment is imbued with sweeping piano figures that emulate Nova Scotia's vast landscapes and storied shorelines. An ideal choice for programmes about new beginnings, the ocean, the Maritimes, and, of course, Nova Scotia.

We sailed upon the ocean
We crossed the brooding sea
With our few possessions
And our babes upon our knee
To the shores of Nova Scotia
Where from out the rain and cold
Came the wind to raise our spirit
And sooth our weary souls.
