Conclusion
Treble choirs have been prominent
throughout history, but are there new
issues that are unique to these choirs?
As the ideas of gender and identity
progress, treble choirs are working hard
to adapt to this change and to research
and discuss the best ways to acclimate
to these current changes. Everyone from
composers to music businesses are
becoming more inclusive with their ideas
of attire and repertoire for this ever-
changing society. My researched focused
on the new ideas and discussions
relating to treble voices as well as the
repertoire that they might sing.
