Research Memorandum Series

The Research Memorandum Series is a bibliographic journal to assist conductors and others in the choral field in their search for repertory and new sources of interesting programming. The RMS focuses primarily on the works of one composer (both mainstream and lesser-known), listing their works by genre, style period, voicing, or another category. At other times the RMS has served as a bibliography, listing recent scholarly writings on the music of a composer, a country, or a genre of choral works. Chorus America is pleased to announce a transition for the Research Memorandum Series (RMS) to a new home with the National Collegiate Choral Organization (NCCO). More information here.
