The selected composers have to use the entire vocal effective, that is, the twelve men’s voices (3 tenor 1s, 3 tenor 2s, 3 baritones, and 3 basses). They can not add any instruments or electronics. The composers can use either a text that they have written themselves, or a text that is either classic or contemporary. If the composer chooses the latter, they must have obtained the rights to use the text chosen in a musical work from the author or publisher.

Length of the work presented: 8—10 minutes

The public will have the occasion to see the result of this workshop Sunday, 1st of July, in the 400 room at CENTQUATRE.
