women's choir + guitar

Hello friends! How are you?

I'm looking for repertoire for women's choir and guitar.
Something like Iberian music would be wonderful!
I'm looking for Amancio Prada, but not found what I wanted.
 
Can anyone help me?

Thank you very much,
Rodolfo

Olá amigos ibero-latino-americanos!
Tudo bem com vocês?
 
Adoraria fazer com meu coral algumas obras para coro feminino e violão.
Adoro o repertório ibérico, mas não tenho nada para esta formação.
Tenho algumas canções de Amancio Prada, mas para coro SAB.
Alguém pode me ajudar?
 
Muitíssimo obrigado,
Rodolfo Jonasson

Hi Rodolfo,
 
The Musica database has 26 titles fitting your needs.
 
Go to www.musicanet.org : there, you can choose the Spanish language (or English or...)
 
As you need targetted criteria, click on the button "Mas criterios".
Then, in "Tipo de coro ", select "Coro femenino", in "Instrumentación o tipo de orquesta", type "guitarra", and in "Número de partes instrumentales", type "1"
 
(In "Idioma", you may add "español")
 
Cordialmente,
Jean

If you'd like to consider a couple of pieces of mine that are nothing like Iberian music...
 
Shall I Compare Thee to A Summer's Day (SSA and guitar) - published by SULASOL
Count Me the Stars (SSAA and guitar) - available from me directly
 
Recordings available of both pieces. Neither hugely difficult. Can send PDF of sample pages.
 
Contact me if interested.

Vancouver-based composer Edward Henderson wrote a beautiful and challenging, 6-minute piece for Elektra Women's Choir with guitar, acoustic bass and piano accompaniment in 2009.  It's called "Star Song" (Christmas text, poem by Luci Shaw).  You can read about it at www.elektra.ca (click on Repertoire Resources).  There is a very short sound sample on the site, but the whole track is available on iTunes.  The singers loved learning and performing this, and the audience really responded as well.  I don't think it is published, but Ed can be reached through his website at www.edhendersonmusic.com.

I have a work that is scored for SSA, guitar (or harp or piano), and French Horn that is based on the Elziabeth Barrett Browning Sonnets from the Portugese XXVI poem "I Lived with Visions". Let me know if you would like to see a perusal copy.

Francisco J. Nuñez has some lovely settings for women's chorus and guitar in his "Four Spanish Lullabies," especially "Crióme mi madre," which is available as an individual octavo. Really worth doing, and your choir will love it. Check out his other work as well, though I can't recall at the moment which other pieces would work for this instrumentation.
 
Best,
