Tonal, Choral
At the Sequenza21 composer's forum, Roger Bourland asks the question, will choral music always be tonal? I think the question warrants the long discussion it received, but forced to answer with one word, I would answer "yes."

Doesn't it depend upon what "tonal" means? If it's restricted to the confines of major-minor common practice tonality, then that's a fairly distressing restriction, which wouldn't include either the choral music of the 14th and 15th centuries, or more recent music in which modal, "overtonal", non-western, or extended tonal ideas are at play.
And, of course, those Stravinsky examples cannot be forgotten -- imagine life without the Requiem Canticles? Sorry, I can't.
