Choral Fixation marks the birthday anniversary of Franz Schubert with his Mass in A-flat as well as some of the ensembles nominated for Grammys this year - including Stile Antico, The Tallis Scholars, Voices of Ascension.

Choral Fixation covers a lot of ground this week with a wedding gift, an operatic suicide and a wartime mass.  Hear top ensembles like the Monteverdi Choir, The Choir of St. Ignatius Loyola and the San Francisco Symphony Chorus.

On this edition of Choral Fixation, we listen to David Lang's Grammy-nominated work The Little Match Girl Passion, as well as other nominees in the Choral category.

Get your choral fix this week on Choral Fixation with a new release from conductor Kent Tritle and the Choir of St. Ignatius Loyola. Plus: A 500-year-old Spanish salad: a choral "ensalada" performed by the Harp Consort.

Tune in to this week's Choral Fixation and make good on your New Year's resolution to learn the differences between motets, cantatas and canticles.

This week’s Choral Fixation is a holiday-themed bonanza with such favorites as Felix Mendelssohn’s “Hark the Herald Angels Sing,” and the “Hallelujah Chorus” from Handel’s Messiah.

This week's Choral Fixation features cantatas from Bach and Beethoven, plus Christmas carols from the Trinity Church Choir, all leading up to our live broadcast of Handel's Messiah at 3PM.

Choral Fixation features a veritable Rennaissance festival with an hour of music from the 15th and 16th century, plus Grammy nominees Stile Antico and Arvo Paart.

This week, our listeners are programming Choral Fixation as we continue our Gratitude Project over the holiday weekend.
