Critical questions
What is the vocal range? Are there a lot of extreme high or low passages? Good balance of slow and fast pieces? Is the choir familiar with the language? What are the expectations of the audience, the choir and the conductor? Do the transitions of the individual pieces fit? Is the program unique? Does it attract attention in town? Does the program give an importance to the choir?
Where can I find the repertoire?
Own music library (scores, discs, playlists) Listen to music (spotify, youtube, etc.) Be in contact with your colleagues! Go to concerts Visit festivals (Europa Cantat!) Reference books (Harenbergs, Reclams, etc.) Shops and libraries (music schools, universities) Internet
