[net.music.classical] Contemporary vocal/choral music

dep@allegra.UUCP (Dewayne E. Perry) (06/05/84)

Here are a few vocal and choral selections that are both 20th century and
quite enjoyable.

	Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde

	Strauss' Der Rosenkavalier

	Villa-Lobos' Bachianas Brasileiris (sp?) #5

	Rachmanninov's Vocalise

	Orff's Carmina Burana  - with the text rotated (left
		untranslated) in Latin to protect the public from a
		particularly vulgar set of lyrics.

	Britten's Ceremony of Carols

	Stravinski's Symphony of Psalms

	Randall Thompson's 23rd Psalm (a marvelous, short choral work)
		and many other choral works

	Vaughn-Williams'  Alleluia  (and other choral/vocal works)

	Menotti's The Unicorn, the Gorgon, and the Manticore

	Bernstein's Chichester Psalms

Be vocal about good music!
