Two years ago, I attended the World Choral Symposium in Denmark. It was a wonderful event, and I’m hoping to attend next year’s event in Patagonia. However, I find the information available through the ChoralNet link a little vague, and wonder if any of you can provide some insight.   1) Travel: I understand that […]

Greetings,   I am chairing a committee that is planning an all-Bach choral festival-workshop to be held next February. The workshop chorus will perform the choral movements of two cantatas, serving as “congregation” to a professional choir that is presenting the cantatas.   The festival-workshop will also include some reading sessions and related workshop sessions. […]

Have you found yourself wondering lately what’s going on in the world of choirs? Yes, you were just saying that the other day? Wonderful, we have two to tell you about. First, there is Scala & Kolacny Brothers, a 60-person Belgian girls’ choir getting some traction on the Internet, thanks to the trailer for “The […]

In the first announcement, the dates were wrong. The announcement below reflects the correct dates.   The River Valley Harmonizers invite all men who like to sing and harmonize to join us in song at our Guest Night – Open House. Join us on Tuesday, September 14th and/or 21st. Plan to attend one or both […]

Help! I need a copy of God Bless America arranged by Emily Crocker.  I have a student who is to sing it as a solo and I ordered a copy of it (I have the acc. CD already) but it hasn’t come in yet and I need it for TOMORROW in the AM! Can anyone […]

There are too many to choose from! What are your favorite Renaissance motets on a Christmas theme? Advent or Epiphany texts would be okay too. I’ve already programmed Victoria’s O magnum and Isaac’s Ecce virgo, but I get dizzy scouting through CPDL for stuff like this, so I’m looking for some recommendations of favorites.   Needs […]

Hi!   I have started a Kindergarten through 2nd grade choir at a small Episcopal church and was wondering what curriculums people have used, would recommend, or would recommend against.  I’m looking for something to hopefully incorporate a little Orff/Kodaly, scripture, and possibly even basic Bible songs that children seem to be missing nowadays.  It will […]

Hannah Bradford saw a need and filled it.   “Growing up in Huntsville, we had all kinds of opportunities to participate in choir,” the University of North Alabama senior said. “When I came here, there weren’t any.”   After doing a little legwork — hanging fliers around town and campus as well as talking to […]

A new arrangement I made of the art song BEAU SOIR by Claude Debussy is now available from ECS Publishing for pre-publication sales. It is scored for SATB chorus and piano. The lyrics are in both French and English; the translation is new. The ECS Publishing catalog number is 7689. The edition is only four pages long; the […]

Any suggestions? I am looking for Muslim and/or interfaith mixed choral works to include in a “carols around the world” program for an a cappella pro chamber chorus. As “light” is a common holiday theme, I would guess there are some pieces by composers of middle eastern (Muslim and Jewish) descent I’m just overlooking. Thanks, […]
