In recent years composers have become interested in the fact that the   performers can do things on stage other than just play their   instrument: stomp their feet, clap, play simple percussion, and even   sing.  We\\u2019ll feature a variety of pieces from composers who ask   musicians (who are not trained singers) to vocalize and supplement their   playing.
