Choral Octavos

Dance! by Robert T. Gibson and Lovely Day (Bill Withers arrangement) lead in classroom adoption. Time After Time by Rob Hyman and Carry the Light by Andy Beck are equally popular with directors building mixed repertoire. Greg Gilpin's Last Christmas and Alan Billingsley's Don't Stop Believin' arrangement round out the most-performed selections.

Dream as One by Miley Cyrus and Christmas Magic by Laufey Stewart arrived in spring 2026. Carsten Gerlitz's Comedian Harmonists and Alexander Tcherepnin's Transfiguration also joined the catalog recently.

Jay Althouse has more than 800 choral works in print, drawing on formal training from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and experience as a rights administrator for a major educational publisher. His Homeward Bound represents the accessible, singable style that defines his catalog.

Andy Beck serves as Director of Choral Publications at Alfred Music and brings curricular expertise alongside compositional prolificacy. His Time After Time is a consistent favorite, and his pedagogical method books Sing at First Sight and Vocalize! reflect his teaching philosophy applied to individual compositions.

Greg Gilpin combines ASCAP award recognition with an international conducting resume spanning Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and Sydney Opera House. His arrangements like Last Christmas balance accessibility with the sophistication expected at competitive festivals.

Sally K. Albrecht is distinctive for her integration of choral movement into composition, having received ASCAP Special Music Awards annually since 1987. Her Sing Alleluia, Clap Your Hands demonstrates how kinesthetic engagement and strong vocal writing work together, a hallmark of her 600-plus publications.
