Past Season Index
The following are a few things to note about our repertoire lists:
• Listings are arranged alphabetically by
composer, and each contain the composer’s name, dates and
nationality, and the title of each work which reflects the language
used in its performance. If the composer is not known, the work is
listed under “Anonymous" or under its generic type, such as “English
Carol.”
• All of the works listed were performed by mixed voices a cappella, unless indicated by (M) (men’s voices only), (W) (women’s voices only), and/or (A) (accompanied). The Saint Louis Chamber Chorus performs almost exclusively without instruments, although in earlier years some accompanied works were performed. In every season one concert is performed by the men’s or women’s voices alone, sometimes accompanied by piano or organ.
• A symbol (X) after the title of a work indicates that there is a correction to the music score. Corrections to typographical errors that have been found in the music scores during the planning and rehearsal of concerts are also arranged in alphabetical order by composer. This list can be found on our Score Corrections page.
• Where a work appears on a compact disc produced by the Saint Louis Chamber Chorus, the title of the work is linked to the page describing that compact disc.
• Certain composers are featured in most seasons, principally Richard Rodney Bennett, Johannes Brahms, Jacob Handl, Gustav Holst, Herbert Howells, Zoltán Kodály, Sasha Johnson Manning, Felix Mendelssohn and Ralph Vaughan Williams. In addition, the Chorus has performed nearly all the contributions to the British madrigal cycle A Garland for the Queen, composed for the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.
• A few works were borrowed from other institutions, but most of those listed were purchased by the Chamber Chorus and represent a significant capital investment by the Board of Directors. Please see our Music Library page for more information.
Note: Repertoire listings for the 33rd season (1988-1989) and earlier may not be complete. We would appreciate hearing from any former singers or concert attendees who might be able to supply information to help us complete these listings. Repertoire lists prior to the 23rd season are also being compiled.
