About This Collection
Description
With over 5,300 titles, this collection spans everything from sacred motets to contemporary pop arrangements, all formatted as SATB octavos ready for rehearsal and performance. Teachers rely on perennial favorites like Dance! by Robert T. Gibson, Lovely Day arranged from Bill Withers, and Time After Time by Rob Hyman, each a staple in concert and festival settings. You'll find recorded accompaniments for most titles, contest-ready selections from NYSSMA and Texas UIL lists, and arrangements sourced from Broadway, film, and contemporary hits alongside timeless spirituals and traditional works.
Highlights
Teachers keep coming back to Dance! by Robert T. Gibson and Lovely Day (a divisi arrangement of the Bill Withers classic), both widely adopted for their accessibility and engagement factor. Mark Hayes's Over the Rainbow and Alan Billingsley's Don't Stop Believin' attract singers who want familiar material with sophisticated harmonic texture. Andy Beck's Carry the Light remains a popular choice for both concert and spiritual occasions.
Recently added
Recent additions include Dream as One by Miley Cyrus, Christmas Magic by Laufey, Comedian Harmonists by Carsten Gerlitz, and Six Liturgical Chants, No. 5: Transfiguration by Alexander Tcherepnin, expanding options for contemporary pop repertoire and liturgical settings.
