For those of you familiar with my blog, this piece may seem an outlier as a choice. It doesn’t hit any of the usual hallmarks of my repertoire choices on this forum. But you know what? It is an absolutely perfectly teachable piece for my early-intermediate group, especially in these strange Covid-times. It is -exactly- the piece I need right now. Take a look. It may be just exactly what you need too.

If you are looking for a Fierce and Feisty selection for your women’s choir, this is the one! Written in 2011 for the ACDA Women’s Chorus Commissioning Consortium, this work by composer Jocelyn Hagen has brilliant drive and musical energy. And it has text to match, sourced from Sumerian poet Enheduanna. This is a can’t-miss selection for your women’s or adult-treble ensemble.
