We commissioned Ana Sokolovic to write a new work for our upcoming Latvian Radio Choir concert. Ana created ASAP 4 SATB, a new choral work with text based on the language of text messaging. The Soundstreams staff is quite tech savvy but even we needed to look up the meaning of some of these acronyms. To ensure that you too catch every reference on November 11, we present the following texting cheat sheet.
