Consortium • 3 living composers

Odes of Love: Join the 3-Composer Consortium

Offer your singers new music, motivation in every rehearsal, and clear evidence of academic & artistic growth—at a fraction of a traditional commission.

Why this matters

Today, conductors and universities naturally strive to provide new experiences that bring growth to their students, but individual commissions are expensive and often difficult to justify.

Odes of Love is an international consortium where several choirs join together to co-commission three original works in collaboration with living composers.

Premiering new music always brings extra excitement. Today, while scheduling a virtual rehearsal, my friend Nathan Windt from Ambrose University told me how motivated his students become when they can work directly with a living composer—imagine doing that with three composers!

“Our students really enjoy meeting composers, especially living ones.”
— Nathan Windt, Ambrose University

And Christopher Clark (Case Western Reserve University) and his choir were so happy with last week’s preview that they posted an Instagram story proudly announcing they had joined the consortium.

What you receive

  • Digital book with three original scores + study tracks.
  • Freedom to select the piece(s) that best fit your season.
  • Exclusive performance window until July 2026.
  • Permanent dedication including your choir’s name, regardless of future publisher.
  • Optional virtual rehearsals with the composers.
Ready to bring fresh, formative repertoire to your singers?

Details & audio preview

You’ll be able to offer your students a new, formative, and more affordable experience than a traditional commission—delivering real artistic growth and the pride of being forever linked to three international premieres.

Warm regards,
Santiago Veros
