"Gregg Smith is one of the great choral conductors of our time" The Singers are one of the most recorded classical choirs in the world with over 130 albums, cassettes, and CDs produced during their existence. Although the Singers have offered hundreds of workshops for conductors, singers and teachers in the past, the main focus in recent years has been toward composers - mainly in the form of readings. In the past decade they have read nearly 300 new works and performed and recorded 60 of them. read more... GSS is on Facebook!
GSS members, other musicians, and fans are coming together sharing stories, pictures, and more on Facebook, the world's most popular social-networking site. Facebook helps you connect and share with the people in your life. GSS Legacy Composers Series:The GSS Legacy Composers Series is making a special combination of publications and recordings available to the choral world. For over 50 years the Gregg Smith Singers have been performing American contemporary choral music and have accumulated a treasury of original works written for the GSS, often referred to as "signature works." Many of these works will appear in this publication series, and some on CDs as well. Most of the composers, whose styles and sounds vary greatly, have worked with GSS and their choral writing expertise has been impacted in practical and unique ways. It is hoped that the combination of recording and publication will give impetus to the performance of this music - will get it into the choral mainstream, and display its viability, practicality and appeal to audiences and performers alike. The National Endowment for the Arts, through its Artistic Excellence award, has provided initial funding for this project. |
A composition will be rehearsed and taped for each composer along with commentary during each 50-minute reading by the Singers under the supervision of Gregg Smith with associate conductors Dale Jergenson and Thomas Schmidt.
