Choral Music
Choral
music is amazing! It’s superb! Although the list in this genre
is not very large, I am working towards increasing it in the future.
Having said that, the select few compositions in my repertoire provide
secular text and diversified lengths.
Each
work listed will eventually link to a page where you can download
the composition. Here are the current listings:

Choral Chutzpah
The
sheer nerve! Why does choral music rank among the most powerful
in the music repertoire of various eras? Handel’s Messiah
and Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, the latter being classified
as a Choral Symphony, are two of the most moving works
ever written. Why? Why? WHY?
Let’s
just say that well-written choral works are awe-inspiring, and
leave it at that. Why? They just are... there’s just something
magical about the human voice. These works also have different
name categories, one of the most common being the Choral Prelude.
Two great composers that wrote for this splendid genre include
Bach and Brahms.
What
did you say? You want one more form of a choral composition form?
Okay then, how about a Choral Fantasia. The composers
responsible for this form are Beethoven and Holst, with their
Op. 80 and Op. 51 compositions respectively.
