Mozart's Requiem, his last and unfinished composition, is one of the most famous choral works in the classical repertoire, a masterpiece whose genesis in several respects is shrouded in mystery. The name SAM-Klang takes the three voice parts from the arrangements -- Soprano, Alto and Men -- and combines it with the Scandinavian and German words for “soundâ⠂¬Â to create the portmanteau word “sound together” or “harmony.Ã� �€ The series offers basic and advanced choral repertoire. In addition to new repertoire and new arrangements, you will also find essential parts of the classical German, Scandinavian, French and English SATB repertoire, carefully and considerately reworked for SAM. The arrangements retain the characteristic features of the original movements and have almost the same richness of timbre, resulting in works which sound nearly unchanged to an audience. Piano reductions of all choral movements facilitate rehearsal preparation. The arrangements offer development opportunities for all voice sections, bringing new life and new quality to SAM choir work. SAM-Klang enables youth choirs to gain access to classical choral literature and ensures that mixed choirs who face challenges in finding singers for all male voice parts continue to have access to well-loved repertoire.

Comis sioned by Roomful of Teeth, 7 Planets is an interplanetary exploration for 8 voices. Conceived in 2020 when observing the planets became a solace, providing a necessary stability for Alev Lenz, the seven movements are each based on one of the planetary frequencies. The work lasts around half an hour and requires some percussion at moments.
