One from the Folder: Repertoire Thoughts for Women’s/Treble Choir

August 18, 2021 by Shelbie L. Wahl-Fouts Leave a Comment

“Where the Light Begins” by Susan LaBarr
Text by Jan Richardson
SSA, piano

Everyone’s choir plans are different and in flux right now (#coviddelta). No matter what your fall looks like though, I’m hopeful this selection will be universally helpful. It is a hauntingly beautiful piece, with relatable text (especially now!), fluid vocal lines, supportive piano accompaniment, (pleasantly) repetitive structure, and multiple avenues for music literacy tie-ins. I look forward to putting this on whatever concert I get to program first — whenever and wherever that happens to be.

They Can’t Put it Back: A Choral Trilogy of Appalachian Poems about Environmental Degradation
Mary E. Simmons
SSAA, a cappella

Today, May 19, is Commencement Day at Hollins University for the Class of 2021. In honor of that, I’d like to present a new work by a graduating senior music major – a set we would have sung on our spring concert and at her senior recital, had either of those two events been able to occur as usual. This work is a choral trilogy for treble voices, focusing on the environmental devastation and effects of mining in the Appalachian region. The poetry is from three Appalachian poets, and come from the anthology “Coal: A Poetry Anthology,” edited by Chris Green (2006).

#66: “Music of Life” by B.E. Boykin
Text by George Parsons Lathrop
SSA, piano

In listening to Boykin’s pieces for women’s/treble ensemble, “Music of Life” jumped out at me. The sound, the tone, the style, the text. I hadn’t yet seen a score to peruse, but I knew I wanted to investigate further.

#60: “Moon Goddess” by Jocelyn Hagen
Text from Enheduanna
SSA, 4-hand piano, percussion

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.
