About This Collection
Description
This collection of 450 choral octavos spans secular, pop, sacred, and world music, with strong offerings across all major voicings from unison through SATB. Andy Beck's Carry the Light and Northern Lights lead the way, joined by Robert T. Gibson's Dance! as perennial favorites that teachers return to year after year. You'll find accessible arrangements for developing choirs alongside more demanding concert pieces, with nearly 80 percent featuring recorded accompaniments.
Highlights
Teachers keep coming back to Andy Beck's Carry the Light and Northern Lights, both 2-part arrangements that balance singability with musical substance. Robert T. Gibson's Dance! appears in both 2-part and SATB versions and remains one of the most widely adopted pieces in this catalog. Bill Withers' Lovely Day (SATB divisi) and Rob Hyman's Time After Time round out the core titles that show up in festival programs and festival lists across the country.
Recently added
Recent additions include Mark Burrows' May a Rainbow Run Beside You (SAB), Robert T. Gibson's You Belong (3-Part Mixed/SAB), Douglas E. Wagner's They Went to Sea in a Sieve (2-Part), and Raphael Fusco's What a Song Can Do (2-Part). The new releases reflect the same balance of accessibility and musical quality that defines the collection.
