The Elmer Iseler Singers - Recorded at St. James Cathedral, Toronto. September 1997. With Norine Burgess, mezzo soprano; Michael Schade, tenor; Mireille Lagacé, organ and Ruth Watson Henderson, piano. Dedicated to the memory of Elmer Iseler who played such a central role in bringing Canada's musical heritage to the listening public. It seems appropriate that this, his last complete recording, should celebrate Christmas from Canada's past. | 1. Anon | Jesous Ahatonhia | | 2. Martin (?) | Sacrae familiae | | 3.
