Skills Day #4 & #5 Concert Choir & Chamber singers:
You will write a one page typed report on the composer of your choice for EACH skills day. EACH report will consist of a title page, one page body, and reference page where you state where you found your information. If you simply cut and paste you will receive a zero for each day. Following is a list of choral/vocal composers you may choose from:
J. S. Bach
Samuel Barber
Bela Bartok
Ludwig V. Beethoven
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Hector Berlioz
Leonard Bernstein
Georges Bizet
Johannes Brahms
Benjamin Britten
Aaron Copland
Edward Kennedy (Duke) Ellington
George Gershwin
Felix Mendelssohn (-Bartholdy)
Please talk about their personal life, career, choral/vocal contributions, and any other interesting facts. They may be composers of other ensembles such as band, orchestra or piano etc. but I am mostly interested in their choral or vocal contributions.
