REPERTOIRE


Since its inception, the Morris Choral Society (MCS) has developed a vast and varied repertoire including numerous major works.

In addition to the established repertoire, the Society is also committed to the performance of new works, and over the last few years several newly published compositions have been dedicated to the Morris Choral Society. In 1980 the Society was proud to commission its first major work - a setting of the Gloria by the renowned American Composer Kevin Norris.

As evidence of its dedication to growth the MCS has consistently demonstrated its versatility by excelling in a wide range of contemporary music styles and expanding its venue of performances to such places as the Community Theatre in Morristown . Examples of the group's versatility include international folk songs sung in their native languages, American folk music, the Broadway theatre, and an impressive list of serious choral music from the Renaissance to the present with several premier performances, and a wide range of sacred music.
