Guess Bach's St. Matthew Passion, Beethoven's Missa Solemnis, and Brahms' Requiem aren't considered worthy enough for performance there. You know, such works that are considered some of the monumental pieces of music history.<BR/><BR/>I learned some of my greatest expressive musical skills by singing in choirs under good conductors. This has made me a better singer and conductor myself. I'm sure their singers have good voices, but can they sing musically and with appropriate style? Does Julliard not realize that choral singing is the MOST common way in which people participate in The Arts in the US? There is a higher percentage of people singing in some sort of choir than for participation in any other art form, musical or non-musical. Amazing that they could ignore this.puccini3http://www.blogger.com/profile/16290232715170800381noreply@blogger.com
