Congratulations to Vox Grata on a great performance of Rachel Fogarty's Flying. One of the best performances of this work so far out of many fine community and collegiate treble choirs in the US and internationally to have performed this work since its release 10 years ago! Vox Grata had purchased this early in January 2020, and then Covid hit us in the next two months and they finally were able to perform it in 2022. Beautiful work from Ms. MacCallum, the singers, and the chamber trio accompanying musicans! Bravo! Give them a listen here:

I vividly recall that after the 2017 ACDA national conference treble choir reading session in Minneapolis, about 25-30 directors and panelists stayed after the reading and discussed women's choir music for about 30 minutes. One of the main themes was that directors liked much of the music that was coming out but that so much of it was too difficult for most of their ensembles, and what was not too difficult was often just cutesy or cheesy. You wanted new and interesting choral music for treble choirs that is neither crazy difficult nor dumbed down or immature in musical content and lyrics. We are happy to share a piece that answers your call! I am happy to present our newest publication, available now directly from Kandinsky Music or through your favorite resellers, KMC-1902, Yksi ruusu on kasvanut laaksossa, a Finnish folksong for SSA choir with an additional sop solo/small group, arranged by Dr. Riikka Pietiläinen-Caffrey. Here is the VideoScore(tm) link. See also our website for more info on purchasing. Of special ote is that, especially for our customers in Finland, to save on shipping charges, we are also making this available as a DigitalDelivery custom-watermarked licensed pdf which allows you to make as many copies as you need for one single school/community chorus site only for one fixed price. You can of course choose our industry-best and award-winning professionally printed octavos, list price $2.25. Take a look and listen now! A beautiful melody and text very skillfully arranged to allow your ensemble to truly shine. https://youtu.be/k24a43JGVBc

Now available! With Conviction, TTBB w/pno by Timothy Kloth!

Student and adult community mens; choirs will enjoy singing these powerful melodies, in textures ranging from unison to four-voice harmonies, challenging singers to use fricative consonants artistically and create dynamic contrasts while singing thought-provoking, clever poetry that gets to the heart free speech, the power of the written word, and standing up for what one believes in! Timeless text from 100 years ago that seems as if it could have been written just this year.

Click the photo for full score preview and audio. [Note the current online audio demo is a temporary mixed choir version; mens choir as published demo recording happening soon.]

Hello Kandinsky Music Friends,
Well we have had 10 more page likes and publication-video views, so as promised, here are more selfies from our new Marketing Director, Lucky. He's getting a little better at them. Remember, the more you share Kandinsky Music with friends and the more new Page Likes we get, the more selfies Lucky will post!

Lucky selfies Vol.1.!!!
So, choral friends you have clearly embraced Lucky's challenge! Kandinsky music has had 13 new page or post likes and shares in the last two days! I was skeptical, but I, too, now must admit that it appears that we may indeed have found the world's first canine social media marketing guru. As promised, I am allowing Lucky to post selfies for every ten new likes or shares. Two selfies, in fact. Here they are! (Don't be too harsh on his photographic skills - after all, he doesn't even have thumbs....)
He says thanks and keep up spreading he word about Kandinsky Music. Now he says if we get to 250 likes in the next week, he will make a video for all of you, too.
