INTERNATIONAL PRIZES "CATALUNYA" FOR CHORAL COMPOSITIONS 2013

Promoting creativity in Catalan choir music has been one of the priorities of the choirs in our country. In 1996 FCEC took the initiative to convene the International Prizes "Catalonia" for Choral Compositions. Already four editions have been realized: 1996, 2002, 2006 and 2008.
Now the Catalan Federation of Choirs organizes the fifth edition in 2013.

The main purposes are:

• To encourage the creation of choral works based on poems and literary texts in the Catalan language.
• To encourage the creation of new harmonization on the extensive repertoire of traditional songs of Catalan countries.
• To facilitate the renovation and upgrade of the choral repertoire with these new songs, to be performed by as many choirs as possible.
• To promote the Catalan music literature and to release the richness of our traditional repertoire all over the world.
