Thanks Choralisters,

Several of you responded to my request for information on choral music in Spanish. Here is a summary/compilation of the responses:

>From: Jorge Hernán Arango García, jorgeag(a)janua.upb.edu.co

>Me puedes escribir a mi en español, te puedo colaborar con lo que quieras,
>soy director de coro en Medellín - Colombia.

(trans. "You can write to me in Spanish; I can work with you with whatever you want. I am a choir director in Medellín, Colombia.")
------------------------------

>From: Julio Dominguez, juliod(a)LANDER.ES

>Si te interesa música de compositores españoles para coro mixto quizá te pueda hacer algunas
>recomendaciones además de algunas obras que yo mismo he escrito.

(trans. "If you are interested in music by Spanish composers for mixed choir I can make some recommendations in addition to some works that I myself have written.")
--------------------------------

>From: Joan Catoni Conlon, conlonj(a)stripe.Colorado.EDU

> Try Alliance Publications (in Houston) and earthsongs (in
>Corvallis, OR). Third Planet also has some interesting choral titles in
>Spanish.
--------------------------------

>From: laura lane, lllane(a)ix.netcom.com

>Earthsongs has several excellent pieces in Spanish, and not terribly
>difficult. The best one I've done so far is Mata del anima sola--you
>need a good tenor soloist, but otherwise it's not hard at all. A high
>school choir or church choir could do it. And it's a LOT of fun--it
>was my college choir's favorite piece last spring. You can call Ron
>Jeffers at earthsongs and get a catalogue--sometimes he'll send you
>single copies for half price--as about that. Phone: 541-758-5760.
--------------------------------

>From: Benet Camps i Marsal, electramun(a)redestb.es

>From: Susana Zabaco

>I can suggest you several works. There is a book edited by the
>Spanish Choral Federation entitled "Repertorio 1" that includes a

>28015 Madrid Spain
>There is also a music archiv called :
>ERESBIL

be the last word on this topic!
