The Music

NSYO Rehearsing Light in the Forest score.

Christopher Palmer

Annapolis Valley Honour Choir

In 2020 Holly commissioned Symphony Nova Scotia composer Christopher Palmer to create a score for Light in the Forest. Each movement represents a different animal in the world of Light in the Forest. The inaugural production will be performed live by the Nova Scotia Youth Orchestra conducted by Greg Burton, at St. Andrew's United Church, Halifax. 
This music will live on in future performances and a Light in the Forest curriculum package.


In 2019 Holly wrote a song reminiscent of a nature hymn, with the help of her friend Paula Rockwell the song's notation was put to paper and arranged for the Honour Choir. In the fall of 2020 the The Annapolis Valley Honour Choir performed the song for it's first recording.
