CHORAL LITERATURE

What the Birds Said - SATB This is a different, and rather difficult piece. Started out as a choral sight-reading exercise but turned into a work that serves as a concert piece.
Gifts - SATB
Flowers in Winter - SATB - This piece was written to challenge a choir's sight reading abilities and may be used in the concert hall.
