| Comment: Re: So many choices with Spotify | Adam Beeken | January 23, 2012 |
| I was thinking about this the other day with the forum
discussion on the greatest choral albums. My plan had been to put
the albums on a playlist to share. I haven. Had enough time yet
though. |
| Forum message: Starting a Black Gospel Choir | Adam Beeken | January 12, 2012 |
|
We are interested in having a black gospel choir as one of our school's (Lexington Catholic High School grades 9-12) extracurricular choirs for an upcoming concert. We do have a student who is involved in a group at his church and will help in leading. Just in case he is not ready for such a r... |
| Comment: Re: Why ChoralNet is not "taking off" | Adam Beeken | September 15, 2011 |
| What your describing sounds a lot like jwpeppers web site.
There is not much there by way of comments and ratings but it is
possible. I think the reason you don't have this much for choral
music is more because we are a much smaller market than general
book publishing or even pvg sheet music not tha... |
| Forum message: Combined Choirs Piece | Adam Beeken | July 28, 2011 |
|
At the end of most of our high school's concerts we do a combined piece for our choirs-usually something up tempo or a medley with a strong finish. I usually try to tie it to the theme of our concert. This Fall we are doing a Singing/Music themed concert. This will combine our advanced conce... |
| Comment: Re: A cappella extended work for High School mixed choir | Adam Beeken | July 26, 2011 |
| Randall Thompson Twelve Canticles. Short pieces which
combined make for around 18 mins. |
| Comment: Re: Accessible Large Works for High School | Adam Beeken | June 14, 2011 |
| I would add Clausen's A New Creation to this list. I don't
believe anyone mentioned Mozart Missa Brevis. This year I am
considering the Beethoven Choral Fantasy as well. |

My high school choir commissions a new work each year. This year we have an excellent composer who we approached late due to some unforeseen circumstances. We are in need of a text for the composition. The theme of the concert during which the piece will premiere is "In Remembrance." Selec... |

| Comment: Re: Looking for large a cappella sacred choral works of 20th/21st C. | Adam Beeken | February 22, 2010 |
| A couple of sets of shorter works come to mind:
Durufle Motets, Debussy Trois Chansons.
More along the lines of what you are thinking, Randall Thompson's Twelve Canticles. This was his final composition and is not well known. I believe he may have had some other larger sets of a cappella wo... |
| Comment: Re: Portative Organ | Adam Beeken | February 19, 2010 |
| As my colleague and I looked at some more options, I think technically what we are looking for is a continuo organ. So far we haven't hit any homerooms, but we will keep looking. |

| I am taking my high school chamber choir on a tour in June, and we will have a couple of days in D.C. We hope to sing at a liturgy at the Basilica, and I was hoping to do a civic performance as well. Does any have any suggestions of good performance experiences that can be had in Washington?

| Comment: Re: Choral Masterwork Suggestions for beginning and intermediate singers | Adam Beeken | February 19, 2010 |
| I am in a similar situation as you. In the past several years we have done:
Rutter Requiem
Vivaldi Gloria
Schubert Mass in G:
This year we are doing the Mozart Vespers. A lot of text but the amount of solo work makes it much more manageable.
Next year I am leaning towards Faure Requie... |
| Forum message: Portative Organ | Adam Beeken | February 19, 2010 |
| Does anyone know how you would go about finding and or renting a portative organ? We used a very nice one in a performance in Notre Dame and would prefer to use one in an upcoming performance of Mozart Vespers instead of a harpsichord. We are in Lexington, KY any assistance or suggestions would ... |
