The season is starting when Estonian choir directors, orchestra conductors, and music teachers think about how to smoothly master the repertoire for the upcoming Song Celebration, so that the singers and players are happy and also we ourselves are motivated to do our work. We are experts at integrating songs and orchestral pieces for the Song Celebration into our season’s performances. However, this does not meet all the needs of the season. And we always want something new and different. Sometimes it’s not possible, but sometimes it is. Noodimees (The Sheet-Music-Man) rummaged a bit in the Music Shelf and thought of offering something here, … this time, for the children’s choir.
One simple and cute song is Lauri Saatpalu / Marja-Leena Mikkola “Uneratsu laul” (Song of Dream Horse). I think this could be something to look into if you’re looking for something cool and catchy and not too complicated.
And aside from this, Noodimees has the idea of offering a beautiful piece that is suitable for singing both at Christmas and on some other festive occasion. It might take a bit of practice (like any other song), but I think the singer would like it – Mari Amor “Salve Regina”
If you find time, take a look at these songs. If these songs don’t speak to you, maybe you will have other thoughts that will lead you to the next song that suits you. The music for the children’s choir, which is in Noodriiul, can be found here.
Joy of music to us all!
