In choral circles right now, a large swath of the programming on festivals and conferences often includes what my friend John Muehleisen calls, “choral neo-pop.” It’s music that is made of assemblages of musical clichés with a “social justice” lyric.

(Choral/church singer here, of many years, with a grad music degree, quite a lot of solo classical experience, currently performing mostly in the jazz and America Songbook idiom.)

Bravo!
Love the analysis and the writing. So much that is important. Thanks, Kurt!
