https://daviddas.com -- If you are a composer with an orchestral background wanting to know more about writing for choir, this video is for you. In twelve minutes, I cover all the basics about writing for choir from the perspective of an orchestral composer.

Thanks to my colleague, Scottish composer Chris Hutchings, for providing a very helpful and comprehensive guide to singer ranges, which is embedded in this video. Chris can be found at https://hutchingsmusic.co.uk and on Twitter at Twitter: hutchingsmusic.
