Dina composer: Les cloches de l’Abbaye


Les cloches de l’Abbaye is another composition of Dina Bélanger.  It arrived to our hands through a piano teacher from another religious community who found it among her things. 
She shared it with our religious, the organist who was Dina’s pupil and, knowing that the fire of 1983 had totally destroyed our house in Sillery and had demolished everything, she gave this piece to her in order that we could keep it.  We do not know the date when Dina wrote it, but probably it was before she entered religious life.  The limpid harmony and her rhythmic cadence overwhelm us with peace at the sound of bells which in a clear morning are a call to prayer. 
Let yourself be carried away by these notes interpreted by Sr Rachel Fournier, rjm. You can listen to it following this indication:
