Newsletter (general) August 2019

 

What do you think of user-friendly music? Mozart’s exquisite motet – Ave Verum Corpus – is presented by high school choirs but also by the finest professionals. So, user-friendly can also be high in quality and Cypress specializes in approachable composition with intuitive voice-leading.

 

We will send you a list of suggestions later this summer – more specific to your own choir.  Please check out these recommendations ranging in levels of challenge. Click on a title to study the score while you listen.
