Folk Choral Sheet Music

James Erb's Shenandoah: SSAATTBB, a cappella draws consistent interest from directors seeking rich octavo voicing. Greg Gilpin's Tongo and Sesere Eeye remain popular choices for 2-part groups, while Victor C. Johnson's Siyahamba continues to serve choirs looking for accessible world music arrangements.

Ruth Morris Gray has added A la Lata (SATB) and Banaha (2-Part) to the collection. Douglas E. Wagner's Shalom / Zum Gali (2-Part) and Earlene Rentz's The Shepherd and the Cat (2-Part) round out recent additions.

Greg Gilpin is an ASCAP award-winning composer and conductor whose work appears regularly in this collection. Known for performances at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and the Sydney Opera House, Gilpin brings international experience and craftsmanship to arrangements like Tongo that work across skill levels.

Ruth Morris Gray directs choirs at Rosemead High School in California and holds degrees in piano performance and music composition from Biola University and UC Santa Barbara. With over 100 published choral works, her recent additions to this collection include both SATB and 2-part settings that reflect her classroom experience.

Alice Parker's legacy of Parker/Shaw American folksong settings forms enduring repertoire for choruses. Her collaboration with Robert Shaw at Juilliard produced arrangements of spirituals and hymns that continue to define folk choral performance, including titles like Vive l'Amour for men's voices.

Sally K. Albrecht combines prolific composition (over 600 choral publications) with expertise in choral movement and staging. An ASCAP award recipient since 1987 and clinician at major venues including Kennedy Center and Carnegie Hall, her work like I Bought Me a Cat brings both musicality and accessibility to younger choirs.
