The repertoire incorporates many different choral traditions, including American Spirituals (including The Storm is Passing Over arranged by Barbara Baker), Venezuelan folk songs (La Paloma by Cristian Grases), Filipino or Visayan folk songs (Rosas Pandan, arranged by George Hernandez), and modern choral harmonies (as in Marques Garrett’s My Heart Be Brave).
