urok (sssaaa)

Urok is written for youth and women's choruses who are looking for meaningful, challenging, and rewarding 20th century literature to rehearse and perform.  This is an extremely well-written piece which, although it employs modern choral techniques, is solidly tonal and rhythmically grounded.  The non-traditional notation may be somewhat puzzling at first, but after the instructions are understood, it is a clear and most appropriate way of communicating the desired effect. 

The piece is recorded on CD-04: One World Many Voices, Volume 2.  Percussion parts are played by choir members.  A translation and pronunciation guide is provided.  A pronunciation CD is available.
