The Living Songs Series was finally set up this year, having been thought about for, literally, years. It’s not perfect or exhaustive but shows, I hope, that songs are being written in 2022. They just need to be sung!

Vocal Repertoire for the 21st Century I & II by Jane should be on every singer’s Xmas list, as well as her earlier New Vocal Repertory books.
Singing teachers - you need these books too! Songs for all voice types & levels

More 21st century songs on The Living Songs Series Rafael Marino Arcaro & @ArtSongs4All
taking total to 83 living composers on the list. Song recitals are slowly shifting but a reluctance to sing the songs of our time.

Any recitals coming up this week with new/21st century songs in them?
I’m not seeing any but maybe I’m not looking hard enough or in the right places!
Happy to share, if you DM me the details!

Wonderful concerts in Wigmore’s programme for next year. Let’s hope that the song programmes are packed with music by living composers… 😉😉

Yes, I’m retweeting last year’s tweet but in light of yesterday’s depressing news, it seems more necessary than ever to highlight the the music of living composers and to hear the songs of our time. Vital, actually.

Great though he was, let’s listen and explore the song composers of our time; you never know, there might be a living composer even finer! 😉😉 livingsongs.co.uk
