Looking for pieces for a wedding

I have been asked to sing at my friend’s wedding, either in an SAB trio or SATB quartet. We are 3-4 decent amateur singers with choral experience, but rehearsal time together will be very limited.

Does anyone have suggestions for pieces that sound good with a small ensemble, are wedding-appropriate, and can be pulled together without substantial communal rehearsals?

We’ll have a pianist available at the wedding if necessary.

Choir jobs for movies/TV

Does anyone know how to be part of choirs in onscreen media? After finding out Super Mario Movie had a full choir when seeing the end credits, I am truly curious how to do this for a living. TIA :)

Polyphonic+Homophonic Rep

I’m looking for short choral pieces with both a homophonic and polyphonic section (or sections). 4 or 5 part in any voicing, any language, the shorter the better.

The ideal examples are: Morley’s Sing We and Chant It, or Tallis’s If ye love Me.

Looking for choral works…

Need help finding religious choral music(s) that are in romance/Latin languages (Latin, Italian, spanish, maybe Russian even) that specifically use the phonetic device known as “trill” or rolling R’s. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Looking for sheet music - Goller

I’m having really hard time searching for ‘Ecce Sacerdos Magnus’ by Vincenz Goller for SATB choir with organ. The piece definitely exist in this iteration, as many performances can be found on YouTube. Yet there’s no trace of sheet music in the digital domain. If anyone can help me - please do.

And a bonus question - what pieces would you propose for the installation of new bishop?

Something a little different with a Balkan Middle Eastern flair

This is more of a piano/orchestral recital with chorus that a pure choral piece. But I always enjoy finding something a little different, and this certainly qualifies. A very unique sound. Berklee College of Music produces some outstanding musicians and hosts international performers, as in this video. https://youtu.be/-F6nZsUCFUE

An absolutely heavenly slice of a brand new Requiem... 🥲

The Choir of King's College London sing 'In Paradisum' from Kerensa Briggs' new Requiem - absolutely stunning

My newest 8 part choral work

Hello! Voces8 recently held a composition competition. While the winner has not been selected, my piece did not make the short list so I can now share it publicly. I would love to hear what you all think!

Help identifying song

The song was performed by a 3 part middle school chorus with piano and cajon accompaniment. I could not hear the director well but the title sounded like it was a single non-English word. The director then said the title translated to 'ow I stubbed my toe' or something like that, but I am not sure if he was joking. Does this song sound familiar?

Non-religious choral pieces?

Any recommendations beyond Eric Whitacre’s secular stuff? Edit: Alright I’ll be honest I wrote this post at like 2 AM. Sorry for being so vague. I’m looking for SSAA pieces that an advanced high school choir could pull off. In terms of genre, this choir has historically bounced around time periods but tend to favor renaissance and contemporary. Some composers we’ve loved in the past: Caroline Shaw, Benjamin Britten, Hildegard, Jessica French, William Byrd

I'm trying to find a song I learned in choir 20 odd years ago

Just wondering if anyone knows this song at all. A quick google search got me nowhere.

I learned it years ago when a travelling choir came to our little outback school in Australia. Now as I sing it to quieten my newborn I find myself wondering its origins.

I know it's a long shot but thought I would give it a go.

" See the sheep with dusty backs Din din din, din din din

With the bells around their necks Din din din, din din din"

Then it does a line of "loo loo loos"

We song it in the round

Do- or La-based minor?

Hey there, choristers. I’m beginning to teach my church choir solfège.

Do you guys find it’s easier to teach Do- or La-based minor? We’re a Catholic Church that uses plainchant, so I’m leaning toward La, but we ALSO do a lot of modern (late 20th-present) choral rep that uses modal borrowing.

Any thoughts are welcomed! Thank you!

I need help. Big time.

I'm trying for the highest school choir I can get into, and I often get solo opportunities, I try out but when the people are in the room I sing with, I freeze, my singing gets so shaky and unleveled unlike when I'm in a group! I need help to cure this I can't have stage fright forever!
