Choral Countdown 2015: Your Top 25

We've celebrated choral music all month long during April, our Voices of Spring month.

But we certainly didn't do it alone; this has been a shared celebration through concerts and special programming. Plus, we asked you, our listeners, to vote for your choral favorites from our ballot of 100 masterpieces.

After carefully tabulating the votes from more than 500 ballots cast (for a total of 2,528 votes), today we present the top 25 as voted by you.

Listen 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. as we play them on the air — Bill Morelock will present the top 5 during the 7 p.m. hour.

You can also follow Classical MPR on Twitter as we announce each title; you can also watch this live Twitter feed as we reveal your top 25:
