Dear Allen and Composer Community,
For those who may not yet be aware, I am pleased to bring forward here PROJECT : ENCORE™ of Schola Cantorum on Hudson. This initiative was undertaken for the sake of promoting post-premiere choral compositions--ideally, into the choral-repertoi... |

We, too, are very much in admiration of the diligence on the part of composers seeking to achieve visibility for their works! In addition to selecting repertoire that heavily favors living composers, Schola Cantorum on Hudson is pro-actively seeking to lengthen and strengthen the marketi... |

Colleagues: Does anyone have access to Robert Evett's 4 Marian Antiphons? Would love to see a copy. By extension, out of curiosity, what are your favorite sets of these texts? Thanks, in advance, for your input.
Respectfully,

I second the recommendation re "The Singing Revolution." We are doing an all-Estonian concert in May, with portions of the film woven in; overarching seasonal theme of 'freedom.' The film documents a truly moving event in a most challenging time in human history. A must!

Agree with general assessment to trust the drop of the minor third. It is the most common in these sets. Have fun in Bristol!

| Comment: Re: Repertoire Suggestion: I need your ideas of finale pieces with "peace theme" for choral festival | Deborah King | August 5, 2010 |

Hae-Jong, I would suggest your looking at three pieces by Stanley Hoffman--all three published by ECSPublishing:
6328. Prayer for the World
7142. A Prayer for Peace
6031. Grant Us Peace (written in memory of the 9/11 victims)
All three are exquisitely wr... |

Yes: Contact Jorge Valencia Cordoba: alebrijes55@hotmail.com
--and please extend my greetings when you do.
Jorge is wonderful to work with, a fine composer, and has a great deal of variety in his oeuvre.
Best of luck with this, Ben.

| --And seeing both Jorge and Michael--with both of whom we've had the privilege of programing premiere performances!--in the same communication chain is great fun! Good luck, Diana, with your dissertation. Jorge's work is splendid (as is Michael's!), and he is a pleasure to work with (as is Mic... |

| Dear Christopher,
Congratulations on your rapid movement toward citizenship! And, yes, I would be delighted to see some of your work. We enjoy premiering new compositions, as well as being part of the significant post-premiere life of worthy compositions. (--to which latter end you might ... |
| Comment: Re: sought: American composers, born elsewhere | Deborah King | September 29, 2009 |
| Hi, David,
Stunning composer, indeed! We were privileged to premiere his "Trinity" last March, and will be including his increasingly well-known "Ubi caritas" on our upcoming concert. We also included his "Unicornis" on the same concert--all Norwegian music. Great fun!
Thanks for the s... |

| Dear Sheena,
How lovely to hear from you! We included your stunning "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" on a concert in January of 2008, and enjoyed it enormously. I would, indeed, love to look at whatever you would like to send me. I am particularly interested in the Whitman setting--but certainl... |

| Dear Sarah,
Many thanks for your suggestion. I'll reach out to Nick, on your suggestion.
As a side note, a few of our singers (in Schola Cantorum on Hudson) have sung with Gaudeamus on several of your concerts. Small world. You seem to have a very fine, well-run organization. Congrat... |
| Comment: Re: sought: American composers, born elsewhere | Deborah King | September 28, 2009 |
| Thanks, Allen, for your reply. In posing the query I was thinking to discover additional living composer of whom I do not yet know; but, we are not limited to living composers. --Deborah |

| Dear Colleagues,
As part of a focus on American music celebrating our fifteenth season, Schola Cantorum on Hudson is structuring a concert with a 'melting pot' conceptual orientation: pieces by composers living/working in America somewhat permanently, but born in another country. The program i... |
