Choral Music Composed by Women
Even though women composers have made significant contributions to the choral canon going back to the Renaissance movement of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, it is undeniable that their work has often been neglected by choirs. With Carus's latest collection for mixed voice choir you will discover forty-seven choral works by forty-five different female composers spanning five centuries of music composition. The collection includes a variety of genres and styles, ranging from sacred to secular, madrigals to simple songs for community singing, and features household names alongside lesser-known composers. The composers represented in the collection hail from across the globe: Europe, North and South America, and Israel. The pieces are predominantly easy to moderate level, making the book a perfect addition to many choirs' repertoire.
Choral Music Composed by Women features a total of forty-seven works for mixed choir.
