Edwin Fissinger was one of the greatest American choral composers in the late 20th century and Pavane Publishing is proud to be the new home for his choral series. In celebration we release this Christmas selection, one of his most-loved arrangements.

Arranger: Edwin Fissinger

Edwin Fissinger's music has a distinctly American sound, and his choral set Dakota Prairies uses poems that describe some of our north central states' most beautiful scenery. This is the fourth in the set and uses a poem by Robert I. Richardson. The madrigal-style writing is excellent for choirs of all sizes, from festival to chamber.

Composer: Edwin Fissinger
