Somos Los Due�os [HL:286916]

Somos los dueños is a rhythmically driven piece that proclaims, “We are the masters of our destinies!” The poetry in Spanish written in collaboration with the choir students at Great Falls Middle School in Montague, MA, empowers young singers to take hold of their fate as they learn syncopation, contrasting articulation, and percussive vocal techniques.

ChoralQuest®, an exciting series of new music and accompanying curricula for middle-level choir, is a program published by the American Composers Forum. The series is designed to breathe new life into the available repertoire for choral students in middle school and junior high. At the heart of this program are new works written by a diverse group of leading American composers who have created challenging pieces that are a true departure from standard middle school repertoire. Based on the success of ACF's decade-long BandQuest® program, ChoralQuest has a residency component in which the composer works collaboratively with a middle school as they create their new piece.
