The text of WIND-SONG is derived from the names for different types and
charactersof winds found all over the globe. Each wind is presentedin its own

Commissionedby the Rotary Boy's Choir of Saint John, New Brunswick, Kevin
Langford, director, this work was first performed at the International Choral
Kathaumixw, Powell River, British Columbia in J.rly of 1988.
