Need ideas for choral repertoire ?
Don’t forget to consult www.musicanet.org when preparing your programs of choral music. Its vast search capabilities and its 170,000 referenced titles have no equivalent anywhere for this type of repertoire. On this subject, see «Why you should use MUSICANET.ORG rather than GOOGLE! ». Look regularly at our « Favorite Piece of the Month » as well.
