What are some pretty acapella songs to sing in a chamber choir?
I’m trying to find a good song for our chamber choir next year. I want a more contemporary song, preferably songs that aren’t that common, like hallelujah or seasons of love. Any pretty songs are good though. I want songs like may it be by enya, or hide and seek by imogen heap, or love you by the free design.
It has to be SATB.
How about something by Karl Jenkins? His choral works (Armed Man, Requiem, Stabat Mater, Gloria, Te Deum) are really wonderful, and exactly for SATB choir.
John Rutter, Eric whitacre, the swingles singers, kings singers, and real group arrangments are your beat friends!

You can get sheet music from Amazon.com too.
There is a nice SATB arrangement of Enya’s "Orinoco Flow", as well as "May it Be"
Many arrangements can have the piano left off without harm as long as the vocal parts are dominant.
