Exultate Chamber Singers Choral Competition 2015- 2016:
We are seeking works by emerging Canadian composers ages 35 and under. The music must use a text on a theme related to peace and justice. The poet must also be Canadian, and preferably one from Ontario, although that is not essential.
Parameters: The work should be 3 – 4 minutes in duration, and either a cappella or accompanied by piano. There can be some divisi. Ranges should be as follows: low F for basses to top A or B flat for sopranos, but keep the tessitura inside that. Tenor top is around G and alto bottom a G.
Deadline: Please submit a pdf of the score electronically to Elana Harte, Manager, no later than December 1. ()
Prize: $1000 and a premiere performance by Exultate Chamber Singers at our final season concert on Friday, May 27, 2016, at St. Thomas Anglican Church, Toronto.
The panel reserves the right not to name a winner, if a suitable work is not found.
