About This Collection
Description
Choral teachers and directors know that finding repertoire that engages singers and audiences alike takes time. This collection gathers the best-selling choral octavos that have proven themselves in rehearsal and performance. Andy Beck's Carry the Light and Northern Lights lead the way, alongside Robert T. Gibson's a cappella arrangements of Dance! and standout titles like Lovely Day and Time After Time. Whether you're building a concert program or restocking your octavo library, these titles represent what's working in choirs right now.
Highlights
Teachers keep coming back to Carry the Light and Northern Lights, both by Andy Beck, for their musicality and singability across ability levels. Robert T. Gibson's two versions of Dance!

Bill Withers' Lovely Day and Rob Hyman's Time After Time round out the consistent performers in this collection.
