I am searching desperately for a 10-15 minute work set for SAB, SAM, or SSAB.  The choir is capable enough, but severely lacking male singers.  I’ve looked at the Buxtehude cantatas, but they’re just not quite right.  Anything from early Baroque to 20th Century, in any language.  Accompaniment is not an issue  —  we could […]
