Repertorio

Il repertorio proposto dai Blackinwhite è particolarmente versatile, circa 80 brani, e comprende Spirituals Afroamericani, brani gospel tradizionali come ad esempio "Lean On Me", "Oh Happy Day", brani gospel anche in francese come "Je suis dans la joie", "Entends mon cœur", brani di contemporary gospel come "My Life is in Your Hands" di Kirk Franklin, brani tratti da colonne sonore di film di successo come Sister Act, Fame, Jesus Christ Superstar, Shrek, Romeo & Juliet, Blue Hawaii, e inoltre brani famosi appartenenti ai generi soul, jazz, r&b, pop, originariamente interpretati da artisti di spicco come The Manhattan Transfer con "Java Jive" e "Operator", The Andrews Sisters, Natalie Cole, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Sam Cooke, Percy Mayfield, Perry Como, Mariah Carey, Beyoncé, Michael Jackson, Queen, Pharrel, Alexandra Burke, Elvis Costello, Zucchero, Elisa; oltre a l'Hallelujah di Handel tratto dal gospel album "Handel's Messiah: A Soulful Celebration", premiato nel 1992 con un Grammy come Best Contemporary Soul Gospel Album, e l'ormai leggendaria versione di "Stand By Me UK Royal Wedding Gospel Choir".
Il coro continua ad ampliare il proprio repertorio impegnandosi nello studio di nuovi brani.
Una delle caratteristiche dei Blackinwhite consiste nella cura e nel rispetto delle partiture vocali originali e, per quanto riguarda alcune delle chicche in repertorio, nella proposta di alcuni arrangiamenti vocali di eccellenti arrangiatori internazionali quali Mark Brymer e Roger Treece.
