Conclusion

Treble choirs have been prominent

throughout history, but are there new

issues that are unique to these choirs?

As the ideas of gender and identity

progress, treble choirs are working hard

to adapt to this change and to research

and discuss the best ways to acclimate

to these current changes. Everyone from

composers to music businesses are

becoming more inclusive with their ideas

of attire and repertoire for this ever-

changing society. My researched focused

on the new ideas and discussions

relating to treble voices as well as the

repertoire that they might sing.

• The debate if “Women’s choir” is an

appropriate term has been talked

about more and more over the past

few years

• Many Schools, including Longwood,

have changed the terms they use
