Welcome

to the Eastern Division Repertoire and Standards Women’s Chorus website.  It is my hope that this site will be a resource for all Women’s Chorus directors to discover new repertoire, inspire over-all programming, and provide information on rehearsal techniques, vocal pedagogy issues, sight-singing, etc.  Please check back in regularly as I will update the site with repertoire listings, articles, and announcements.

Please feel free to contact me if you have concerns, questions or information you would like to see on our website.   Christine R. Howlett - chhowlett@vassar.edu.

Repertoire for Women’s Chorus and Orchestra - version 3
This is a listing of repertoire for Women’s Chorus and orchestra that began on www.ChoralNet.org.  I have taken the original listing and included other works with additional timing and scoring information.

Repertoire for Women’s Chorus from the Eastern Division Conference 2010

Real Repertoire for Women’s Choirs: An Extremely Selective Bibliography
This bibliography was first presented at the ACDA National convention in Chicago in 1999 and has been available online ever since.  I came across this bibliography in the summer of 2003 as I was researching repertoire for Women’s Chorus; the list was incredibly useful and actually led to my dissertation topic in music from the Venetian Ospedale.  

COMPOSERS/NEW WORKS
Each month, a selection of diverse works for Women’s Chorus will be presented with descriptions and notes.  Please check in at the first of the month!
