The collection 'I Nostri Canti', published earlier this year, assembled a diverse collection of art songs suitable for diploma and degree students. It is intended to be set as standard repertoire for Aswara's academic syllabus and its Young Singers Competition. The book comprises eleven compositions based on texts by poets Usman Awang, Anwar Ridhwan, A. Samad Said, Mazami Maz, Chantelle Tiong, Bernice Chauly and Casey Koh.
