Swiss up your choir! The choral collection Swiss Choral Music is a real treasure trove of recent choral music from Switzerland. As diverse as the country itself, this volume of 28 choral settings of varying levels of difficulty includes not only a range of musical styles, but all the Swiss national languages (Romansh, French, Swiss/German and Italian) as well as English and Latin. For pure listening pleasure or as an aid to pronunciation, all works have been sung by the Swiss Youth Choir under the direction of Nicolas Fink. Pronunciation aids for the Rhaeto-Romanic and Swiss-German texts can be accessed via a QR code.
In creating their musical excursion through this mountainous country, the editors and renowned choral conductors Johannes Meister and Patrick Secchiari have not only selected familiar names such as Beat Furrer or Heinz Holliger but also up-and-coming young composers such as Sara Bucher or Grégoire May. The collection includes a number of previously unpublished pieces.
