One of my favorite operas is Suor Angelica. There is something about the beauty and clarity of the all-female choral sound that I enjoy so much. Does anyone have any recommendations for all female choral works? I enjoy choral works in general but haven't found anything quite like Suor Angelica.
As per usual I have lost the name of that nun... it's in there somewhere... all I get is 'bling', that can't be right. Anyway, I think there are all female recordings of her stuff out there. All you have to do is figure out what this damn fool is drifting on about.
4.Yes, not an individual work, but I love the final female chorus in Holst's the Planets, real mystic atmosphere with two chords repeated distance fading...
5.If you're interested in eastern timbres and tunes, you may find some beautiful female chorus in Azerbaijani composer Uzeyir Hajibeyov's operas and operettas.
Gustav Holst: Choral Hymns from Rigveda (second and third series)
