"The song was written by Leon Dubinsky, a songwriter from Sydney, Nova Scotia, for a 1984 stage musical titled The Rise and Follies of Cape Breton,[1] as an anthem of resilience and hope at a time when Cape Breton Island was going through an economic crisis." It was known as a coal miners' song when coal mining was the main industry in Cape Breton, where mines were under the ocean itself. It still is sung in Nova Scotia particularly in times of trouble to show their resilience.
My choir is doing this piece in our spring choir concert. Those high Bs are a nice challenge for a tenor 1. That soloist fit the style of the piece perfectly!
My school does this song every year for the spring concert, and every year they actually have a few girls to the tenor part because some of the guys can’t sing high enough. I’m one of them, I really like doing the tenor part. Even if a few parts are too low, but my ensemble teacher just has us switch up to alto for the parts we can’t reach
i preformed the stab version in may of 09. we were one of the first hs to get the satb from the publisher but i also got to listen to this version off of the cd. my director mrs gilber was there in that room listening to choir leoni. this peace was my senior song. trust me there is no better song to graduate with than this one
Very Nice job . Our barbershop group The Cape Breton Chordsmen have sung this with The Men of the Deeps (Miners Choir ) here on Cape Breton Island home of the writer Leon Dubinsky. The song is Cape Bretons unofficial anthem
Nice tux! Choir very very good. Although, they committed an unforgivable sin. Wy was there NO organist??? I saw an unused organ (Hammond, possibly - an even BIGGER SIN!!!) . Man, that, and another 50 voices, of ladies and kids..), well, that arrangement would have floored me. Guess I'll have to write it out..

We sang this for 2019 Tenor-Bass TMEA All State Choir and I absolutely loved it
We are working on this one during lockdown.
The Victoria Arion Male Choir will be performing this song, Saturday April 6th at the Victoria Christian Reformed Church, Saanich.
I’m gonna play the piano of this song tmr for the choir I’m so nervous 😬
My men's choir through my high school is doing this song this year, I AM SOO EXCITED!
This is one of the greatest choral pieces I've ever heard.
This is Fantastic ! Beautifully performed. Thank you

sang the solo with 500 singers making up the choir most amazing feeling from an amazing song

Omg great version of this song! By far my favorite choral piece to sing
The MacDowell Male Chorus sang this last year, for our 85th year concert season. A great song to sing.
I love this song, and ever since the Division Convention in LA '08 I've been trying to find it online. Thank you!!!
who is the soloist? he has a wonderful voice.
Remember, this song is product of the great highlands of Cape Breton...
Wonderful! We also want to try it some day.
I have a rehearsal tomorrow and I haven't practiced...
Love this
