Heitor Villa-Lobos, "Magnificat-Alleluia", Max Eschig, 1957, # ME-8234. remarks: about 8 minutes; orchestral accompaniment; choral edition with keyboard reduction (organ accomp. sounds better piano); extensive mezzo-soprano solo consists of verses of the Magnificat, alternating with choral alleluias (some divisi); in Latin; his last piece, written commissioned by the Vatican; for college & adult choirs; expensive piano/vocal/choral copies (so try to borrow). Alberto Ginastera, "Psalm 150," Boosey & Hawkes, 1970, #BH.BK.697. remarks: about 12 minutes; additional treble choir (middle tessitura, not difficult); large orchestra, much perc.; sections of significant dissonance and sections of blissful consonance; an early work; for college & adult choirs; in Latin.

José Serebrier, "Vocalise," Peer International, 1971, #2160-3. remarks: an unaccompanied choral vocalise with a melody for everyone; excellent part writing; about 5 minutes; sensuous, lovely, brooding; some divisi; challenging but notharsh harmonies; Serebrier was a world-famous conductor from Uruguay.

Jose Mauricio de Nunes-García, "Laudate Pueri" and "Laudate Dominum," Universidad de Brazil, 196? remarks: mulato composer from Rio in early 1800's, called Brazil's Mozart; orchestral accompaniment or keyboard; both are rondo's with Psalm verses by florid soloists alternating with easy choral responses, ending with obligatory half-doxology in fugal style; charming; good opening pieces on programs with Haydn or Mozart masses; 7 minutes each.

It is interesting that I received a number of titles of Latin works, but few suggestions about Asian pieces. I have also included some addresses sent to me as possible additional sources. Lawson-Gould and Earthsongs catalogues were mentioned (which I already knew about), and Third Planet Music (which I didn't)- 203 California Ave., Santa Cruz CA 95060, 408-426-1968. Stephen Hatfield: La Lluvia, Boosey & Hawkes- wordless piece based on Peruvian pan pipe melodies. Emile Desamours: Papa Nou - to be published soon by Mark Foster Oscar Escalada- several pieces- especially Tangueando Sole: Duerme Negrito, Earthsongs- Venezuela Mendoza: Broatyn las Flores, Alliance Music- Aztec Bor: El Periquito, Third Planet- Venezuela- GREAT! Guevarra: Ojos Azules, Third Planet Music Grau: La Flor de la Miel, Earthsongs, Venezuela Scliar: Lua, Lua, Earthsongs, Brazil Motets from Mexican Archives- Peer series, containing 7 motets by Lopez, Franco, Padilla Fonseca- War Game/Xire Ogun, Lawson-Gould, Brazil- interesting! Grau: Kasar mie la gaji, Earthsongs, Brazil/Africa- a classic Galian: Salseo, Earthsongs, Venezuela Favero: Te Quiero, Argentina- sort of pop love song, really lovely Rincon: Bullerengue, Third Planet, Columbia- A MUST!!! Gutierrez: Alme Llanera, Venezuela- wonderful piece Estevez: Mata del anima sola- also wonderful Aguiar: Salmo 150, Brazil- terrific! (mentioned several times) The following are from Thomas House Publications, edited by William Belan: Mananitas de mi Tierra El Punto Guanasteco Un Beso Y una Flor Piel Canela Misa Criolla, Lawson-Gould, was also mentioned, but is too long for my purposes right now. Shorter sections could be used. Addresses: University of Philppines Madrigal Singers Dept. of Music University of the Philppines Dilliman, Quezon City Philippines They have a good colledtion of Asian music. Also suggested- the Cultural Centre of the Philippines, probably best contacted through the Philippine Embassy. Mr. Joe Peters Center of Musical Activities National University of Singapore Kent Ridge Music Director-Singapore Youth Choir c/o Singapore Young Musicians' Society Waterloo Art Centre Waterloo Street Singapore Singapore Many thanks to all who responded. Linda Gingrich conductor- Issaquah Chorale Many thanks to everyone who sent me ideas for Latin song suggestions to use at the fundraiser that we are doing. I have included the responses from everyone in the list that follows. It is wonderful that so many of you are willing to take the time to share your ideas. Earthsongs had published three Brazilian arrangements, which perhaps would fill in your needs. They are: 3 Cantos dos Indios Kraos (3 Songs by Krao Indians), by Marcos Leite; Muie Rendera (Lacemaker) by Carlos Alberto Pinto da Fonseca; Lua, Lua (Moon, Moon) by Esther Scliar. Those are light and easy pieces suitable in any High School or Junior High Choir repertoire, despite the Portuguese! However, if you decide to do them, don't hesitate in contact me about the Portuguese pronunciation. I am from Brazil. Although I have been here in this country since 1996, my Portuguese still good ;-)!!!! I will be more than happy to help you, anyway. Check out earthsongs publications, specifically the Maria Guinand series, and the pieces by Michael Mendoza published by Alliance. Last year I did a brilliant arrangement of 'Tico Tico' from the 1940's by Hawley Ades which was, I think, from the Fred Waring collection originally published by Shawnee Press. I had a single copy (very old) and I got Shawnee to agree to my copying it for a small fee. I sort of remember that the music of Fred Waring and the Pennsylvanians had been re-issued or at least collected and was available. You might want to ask the list about that as I am sure someone will know. Here are some selections I have used with my students that embody the "Latin" flavor: 1. "Mata del Anima Sola" - a secular selection for mixed choir. It's acappella and rather difficult. There is a tenor solo and then the other choral parts vocalize spanish guitar underneath. It's a magnificent piece. Lighter, pop tunes: 2. "Hot, Hot, Hot" 3. "When Yuba Played the Rumba On the Tuba" - a hilarious Cuban selection. There is still an accompaniment trax available for order for this piece. 4. "Iko, Iko" 5. "Bidi, Bidi, Bom, Bom" - made popular by Selena, available for women's chorus. I'm pulling this off the top of my head since all my materials are in my choral library at school! However, since Ricky Martin hit the scene, there are several Spanish pop selections currently available. There is also a medley of mambo music. This year, one of my choirs is performing the theme from "The Mask of Zorro" in Spanish and it is beautiful. So, my recommendation is to get on the J.W. Pepper internet choral site and check out the current and new popular and show choir choral selections. I've got a song call "A Zing-A Za" and is described as a "Brazilian Folk Song" arranged by Mary Goetze, pub Boosey & Hawkes cat no PCTB6276. The copy I have is a 4-pt treble, with percussion and keyboard. It's quite entertaining - some nice tongue twisters in it too! If I were doing a somewhat light program featuring "Latin music", I would probably pick styles and genres that come from Brazil, Cuban, Mexican, and maybe some Caribbean background. You might look specifically into Calypso (Trinidad and Tobago), Bossa Nova (Brazil), Son (Cuba), and some type of Mexican traditional folk song (or Mariachi if there is something worthy). Be careful of very poor arrangements in these areas. There are so many aberrations, and so few good arrangements when it comes to Latin music in US choral literature. It would be a shame to perform pieces that are mild at best in their treatment of any of these styles, like I have seen so much. There is a ton more that you could explore, however those that I mentioned are four styles which are pretty accessible and would be more familiar to you and your audience. I would be happy to discuss this a bit if you feel the need. I hope I can help you more. This is definitely an area that I have a great interest in seeing done correctly. Congratulations for your choice, and good luck! check out the Earthsongs website. You can get single copies for half off and they have cds listed with recordings of the songs on them. Good Luck. Yupanqui's Duerme Negrito is a terrific one, rather pop in style. The chorus mostly sounds like his guitar. It's either Earthsongs or Third Planet Music. YOu might also look at Rincon's Bullerengue (same publishers), which is based on the Bullerengue dance rhythm. Greatpiece! I don't know anything in choral music which is meant for dancing. But look into the lighter music of Heitor Villa-Lobos, such as the "Samba Classico" or "Modinha," and others (I don't have them right at hand, but there is one whose title includes the word Estrella). V-L wrote quite a buit in the popular Samba style. Also, if you have a soloist and a G-O-O-D guitarist (or adapt to piano), there are a number of very attractive songs by the great Brazilian Guitarist Laurindo Almeida (available through Guitar Solo Publications in San Franciso). Of course all are in Brazilian Portuguese, but done in the "Carrioco" accent of Rio, they are delicious. My wife is Linda Spevacek. I showed her your email and she suggested her Spanish Fiesta. Here is a link to the JW Pepper site to look at the first two pages and a link that has the entire recording. Spanish Fiesta is also available in 2 Part. If this looks interesting let us know and we will send a complimentary copy in the mail. Spanish Fiesta (opt*) http://www.jwpepper.com/pdf/3192788.pdf Musical snapshot http://www.jwpepper.com/ram/3192788.ram Panama national composer, Georges R. Colbourne (who is a pupil of Roque Cordero): Así (Bolero), Blessed be God (Calypso), and Las Torres de San Felipe (blend of popular and traditional choral music, excelent work, I recommend this one); one from Colombia (Bullerengue); and one from Argentina (Entre el espanto y la ternura [Between fright and tenderness]), Check out Alliance Music Publisher's William Belan series.

Thomas House Publications (Mexico) Sandy Rudo ssr109(a)rudos.com Thanks to all who were able to respond. I have included their suggestions as well as a list that I gleaned from another compilation on Choralnet. Judith Higbee ORIGINAL POST I am looking for sacred music for a concert at my church called Music of the Americas. It will tie in with a lecture and art exhibit of Guatemalan blouses (huipiles). One of the pieces I need is something from the Renaissance or Baroque era in Latin that would have been done in the cathedrals in a basically European style. But other selections could be more indigenous, from throughout Central and South America and in Spanish. I will have various choirs, children, youth and adults on the program so a variety of voicings is needed as well. Any help you can give in finding scores would be appreciated. ~~~~~~~~~~~ DUERMETE, NINO LINDO, by Wayland Rogers, a Central American Christmas Carol in arranged for SATB and Piano or Harp.

As a choir singer from Puerto Rico, I have the chance to sing some sacral music composed by Father Abel Di Marco. He has done beutiful pieces also in secular music. Ruben Colon-Tarrats has composed a lot of arrangements and compositions based in traditional puertorrican music. His arrangements and compositions are greatly appreciated in the Puerto Rico choral scene. |
