Choral New Releases

Teachers return consistently to Brighter Days by Blessing Offor, available in both 2-part and SAB voicings. Mark Burrows' May a Rainbow Run Beside You and Lin-Manuel Miranda's Found/Tonight (in 2-part and SSA arrangements) are also capturing attention in choral programs. These titles balance accessibility with substance, working well for concert and festival settings.

Recent additions include Hugh Martin's Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas in both SAB and 2-part voicings, Greg Gilpin's In Time of Silver Rain for SSA voices, and Miley Cyrus' Dream as One available in both SAB and SATB. Emilie Zumsteeg's Uplifted Voices is a new a cappella offering for SSA ensembles.

Greg Gilpin brings the credentials of an ASCAP award-winning choral composer and conductor who has led performances at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and Ryman Auditorium. His work appears regularly in this collection, and his arrangements consistently appeal to intermediate choirs seeking material with musical depth. Alan Billingsley is an internationally recognized arranger whose credits span educational music, Broadway, and Disney theatrical productions. His arrangements bring theatrical flair and accessibility together, making them natural choices for concert programs. Andy Beck, Director of Choral Publications at Alfred Music, has 450+ choral works in print including the widely adopted method books Sing at First Sight and Vocalize! His music is performed by singers worldwide and represents both a proven pedagogical approach and reliable quality.
