Listen Now

Trailblazing artist Beverly Glenn-Copeland today shares the new single “Light Of The Heavens” via Transgressive. Recently discovered, the track was recorded shortly after the creation of Glenn-Copeland’s beloved and influential 1986 album Keyboard Fantasies, which marks its 40th anniversary this year. “Light Of The Heavens” further showcases the sonic style explored in this pivotal period, and is accompanied by an iconic performance video captured from the same era. Available to stream on all platforms here.

The single is the first new music since the release of Glenn-Copeland’s collaborative 2026 album with his wife and producer Elizabeth Copeland, Laughter In Summer. In addition to glowing coverage in Pitchfork (8.0), The New Yorker, NPR, SPIN, Consequence, Bandcamp Daily, FLOOD, The Needle Drop and Under the Radar, Laughter In Summer was recently included on the longlist for the 2026 Polaris Prize.

Glenn-Copeland also announces a run of three Canadian tour dates in early 2027, his only North American dates for the year, performing 40 Years of Keyboard Fantasies: The Music of Beverly Glenn-Copeland across iconic theaters in Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver. Acclaimed Canadian composer Owen Pallet will open each show.

Speaking on the single, Glenn reveals: “We are so pleased to share this nearly-lost song & video: “Light Of The Heavens”. Credit to my friend and publisher Jeff Waye who uncovered this forgotten song while looking through old tapes in my archive. It was recorded around the time of Keyboard Fantasies and I was so thrilled to be brought back to that moment. Unearthing the video was especially meaningful to me for two reasons: dance has always been my favourite artform, and Susan McNaughton’s choreography and performance are deeply moving; plus I recorded this on my favourite place on the Earth, the Canadian Shield where I lived in hermit-like splendour for many years. This song feels like a gift from my past, and all of us hope that you enjoy revisiting this era of the work so generously sent to me by the Universal Broadcasting System.”
