If you're a conductor who's interested in performing new music (that is, recently written), but have found the offerings from publishers dull, and the experience of surfing composers' personal websites frustrating, ChoralNet is working on the solution. We'd like to create a Composers' Marketplace where composers could list their works for sale and conductors could easily find lots of new choral music all in one place.

 

What would make this Marketplace more useful for you? How could you find pieces which match the ability level of your ensembles, are in styles you like, and aren't just bad? This Marketplace is in the planning stages; this is your chance to help shape it so it's more useful for all conductors, not a morass of junk like some websites we won't mention.

 

Come to the Composers' Marketplace Planning Group, a ChoralNet Community dedicated to discussing the best options, and let us know what you'd find useful. Ideally we're looking for a few members who will commit to sticking out the discussion to the bitter end, but anyone's input is welcome. Drop by and join the discussion!
