Sauk Prairie Music

Listening Project

The Sauk Prairie Listening Project is a place where great music can be shared and, hopefully, spark some interest in letting you fall down a Spotify/YouTube rabbit hole. Below are some channels to start along with a couple embedded YouTube's that are great. We will continue to organize this section by ensemble/voicing so that you don't get lost in the awesomeness!

Here is a great google doc resource that takes you through some great works from Medieval to Modern. Simply click through the document to find those titles and simply search them out in YouTube/Spotify/Etc.
