Repertoire
What We Sing
We are very proud
of our diverse repertoire. Our songs' themes range from peace,
love, equality and women's empowerment to songs about coffee, cats and the
holidays. Our song styles include: chants, folk, vocal orchestra, jazz,
rock and gospel. We perform pieces written for women's voices and
sometimes our director transforms a non-women's choral work into one we
CAN sing. We choose songs written by a variety of composers but we
select from and enjoy promoting predominantly female artists. Bread
& Roses is proud to add our very own Lynn Fisher McCanne to our female
composer pool. Lynn is known for her ability to write new "Bread & Roses" lyrics to
existing tunes, as well as to compose fabulous original works for our
chorus to perform.
