I have always thought it would be much more useful to sort within each of those categories by composer rather than title. I think it's far more likely when someone peruses the Secular music listing that they want to skim to see what the composer options are rather than how many different pieces star...

I agree that search by Composer is more likely.

Some singers in our chorus use a keyboard app on their phone for quick portable note-checking; it can be very helpful in a clinch.

Any repertoire suggestions on the theme of nature and/or seasons for mixed-voice a cappella chorus (scores on CPDL or else available elsewhere), preferably by living composers?

Thank you for posting. In case you are interested, here are some additional resources you may wish to check in with about spreading the word. Apologies that these suggestions are US-centric. If you haven't already, you may want to check with ACDA.org (the American Association of Choir Directors) if ...

(Cheering Susan from here, too.)

Max or one of the other folks can best answer about stats, and surveying users is also a possibility. Since we don't push announcements often, we may want to work in some additional CPDL-related questions. I'm familiar with Google forms and would be glad to work on a survey together if you like.

RIP Stephen Paulus, (August 24, 1949 – October 19, 2014): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Paulus We sang his "The Road Home" (mostly from memory) at our choir rehearsal last night. This is NOT us singing, but if anyone doesn't know this lovely piece, here is a link: https://www.youtu...

We have these forums, and I'm wondering if it can be done within this structure, maybe a section under General Discussions, rather tha...
