Alchemy | SATB | Andrea Ramsey
This canon written with flex voicing makes the perfect opener for any concert as well as a great way to start rehearsals for the year.
A Little Song of Life | SATB | Reginald Unterseher
This infectious song will be a favorite of your choir. We are reading the SATB version, but there are multiple voicings available.
Calling Us Home | SATB | Jane Kozhevnikova
A beautiful setting of a text about longing for home with compelling lyrical lines.
What Whales and Infants Know | SSA | Jackson Thomas
This score is approachable but fulfilling to sing with soaring lines and aleatoric sections within its various soundscapes.
Stabat Mater | SATB | arr. Meredith Bowen
Cesis was a Italian nun in the late 16th and early 17th century. This is part of MusicSpoke’s project with Mirabai to promote overlooked music from female composers.
The Accompanist | SATB | Kurt Knecht
A comedic piece about the role of the accompanist in choral culture. This will be an audience and choir favorite.
Be Still | SATB | Timothy Tharaldson
A beautiful motet on biblical texts with stunning climaxes.
A flex voice canon that sets a Kwanzaa text. This one also contains aleatoric sections that allow the choir to improvise.
O Virtus Sapientie | SATB | Katerina Gimon
A modern setting of the Hildegaard von Bingen chant that will allow you to introduce your choir to Hildegaard in a modern context. This one is also available in SSA voicing.
Tau Ya Thaba | SATB | Sabelo Mthembu
This is part of MusicSpoke’s ongoing project with Derrick Fox to bring the music of black South African composers to a wider exposure in the United States. It is easily singable and will delight your ensemble.
