My choir was invited to sing at the inauguration of our new governor in January. I am looking for repertoire suggestions of unaccompanied literature, 3-4 minutes in length, appropriate for this event.Â

John,
Â
I think you hit the nail on the head when you say, "I suppose it comes down to a question of balance." Things are not in balance when 90% of the repertoire performed by collegiate choirs at ACDA conventions is from the late-20th century. I'll go back and re-read Dehning's piece - I ... |

We've been doing Madrigal Dinners at South Dakota State since 1987. Our format is very similar to yours. We are in costume. We do have a court jester who will poke gentle fun at current campus events and members of our administration who are in attendance. The repertoire is mostly Ren... |

It's good that you have narrowed down your list a bit. All of your questions would be best directed to the choral directors at each of the schools you have listed. The reason most people have received private replies to this sort of question, I think, is an issue of respect and civilit... |
