Welcome to the University of Iowa website dedicated to British choral composition from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This website is currently under construction and will be updated frequently, so please visit often to see what new composers, compositions, and authors/poets have been added to the database.  The purpose of this site is to disseminate comprehensive information regarding contemporary British choral composers as well as their compositions and use of texts.  This site is designed to be used by professional conductors/educators, researchers, and students who will find this site useful for research, education and repertoire selection when considering concert programs.  Unique to this website are several important features: 1) its connection to multiple online resources (including samples of scores and online recordings of music, interviews and documentaries; 2) its emphasis on texts and poets with cross-referencing between compositions and texts, and 3) the ability to search databases of composers, compositions, texts and authors/poets.
