Female Choir
The sound of a women's or girls' choir has an attraction all of its own. The absence of male voices directs our hearing to the delicate and subtle hues of the high registers, which can be a source of great pleasure for singers and listeners alike. Female choirs have a long history in many countries. The Bärenreiter catalogue contains many attractive works, whether original compositions or arrangements.
