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 select from and enjoy promoting predominantly female artists.
We are proud to include in our composer pool two of our own members:
Lynn Fisher McCanne and Jennifer Covert. Both women have written
several original works which our chorus has performed!
