SSA or SSAA: Avant-garde piecesThank you for the quick responses. As requested by several of you, below is a compilation. I might suggest "Aglepta" by Arne Mellnas, which is a combination of spoken and pitched material. Very effective. I've enjoyed Ernst Toch's "Geographical Fugue" with my h.s. women's choir: just divide the parts. ---- The highlight of my fall season last year was Rupert Lang's "Ubi Caritas." (Boosey and Hawkes) I also have programmed Murray Schafer's "Epitaph for Moonlight" with just 12-14 h.s. women. ---- This sounds interesting. Short piece? Would she be interested in working with a Georgia composer? See my website at http://www.luxnova.com/ and click on my picture, or go to "Composers" and click on my name. ---- Might be able to make 'geographical fugue' by Ernst Toch work. ---- Oxford University Press publishes two titles by Brock McElheran that may fit your students needs: Here Comes the Avant Garde 385455-4 $1.20 Can be done by women's chorus, or men's chorus or mixed chorus. Funeral March on the Death of Heroes 385432-5 $1.30 -- Dr. C. Wallace Hinson, Chair Department of Fine Arts Piedmont College P.O.

For the first time in awhile I will be teaching freshmen treble choir. therefore, I have been out of touch with that repertoire. I am looking for something doable in SSA for 9th graders with good middle school training. Most especially I need something for the fall.
