Omittamus studia
This piece for SATB chorus and piano is a setting of a rambunctious Latin text from the medieval collection known as Carmina burana. It must be spring fever time since the students who sing here are ready to throw aside their studies and go dancing instead. Hoekman’s setting of these words combines jazzy rhythms with florid vocal writing, resulting in a highly entertaining piece for singers, pianist, and audience.
