Canon with XXst century choral music
16.12.2009Radio 4: The complete canon of 20th-century choral music can now be found on Radio 4’s website.
Between 15 and 18 October the Tenso Days Amsterdam were held in the Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ. Europe’s finest chamber choirs came to The Netherlands for four days to perform the most significant a cappella choral music of the 20th century. To mark this occasion people were asked to vote for their favourite choral works of that century. The canon consists of top-5 lists submitted by more than 150 well-known figures from the choral/musical scene and by radio listeners.
The eleven works most frequently chosen can also be heard on the website.
