Info zu Chlara's Lullabies

Clara’s Lullaby was largely recorded in the spring of 2018, in loving memory of Clara Dawn Holte. Clara is my niece.

Much of the material on this recording was presented in concert on January 28th, 2023, at Robertson-Wesley United Church by the women of Belle Canto. Belle Canto is a choir, but beyond this they are a community. Through thirty years of singing together, the women of this community have shared many of life’s greatest joys and greatest sorrows. The power, beauty and honour of this shared experience are reflected in this recording.

Thirteen years ago, on February 8, 2012, a tiny spark was born into this world. Her name was Clara Dawn Holte, and she was the much anticipated fourth child in a family with three older brothers. Clara, like all newborn children, was perfect. As she grew, she was adored by everyone, just as all children should be. Clara was fierce, she was joyful, she was loud. Clara laughed, she sang, and she danced.

With unimaginable swiftness, Clara was taken from the world at the age of 4, on August 17, 2016. It is hard to imagine the profound effect a soul can have on the world in four short years. Each of us create a circle of knowing that grows wider as we grow. And after your listening, Clara’s circle of knowing will have increased again.

This recording is for all children and for all those who love children. You are sure to recognize many of these melodies and we hope they bring you joy. We hope they offer comfort on dark nights and soothe the tears of your children and your children’s children as they grow in love and circles of knowing. (Heather Johnson)
