General Concert Choral Sheet Music

Andy Beck's Carry the Light and Northern Lights consistently lead the catalog in adoptions, offering accessible 2-part writing that works across ability levels. Robert T. Gibson's Dance! exists in multiple voicings to reach different ensembles, and its a cappella arrangements have made it a standard repertoire choice. Jay Althouse's Homeward Bound and Greg Gilpin's Tongo round out the most frequently purchased titles, reflecting teacher demand for both familiar material and fresh arrangements of world music.

Recent additions include Hugh Martin's Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas in both SAB and 2-part voicings, Laufey's Christmas Magic in SAB, and Miley Cyrus's Dream as One for SATB, all published in the last year.

Andy Beck is Director of Choral Publications at Alfred Music and the most prolific voice in this collection with over 450 published works. His method books Sing at First Sight, Foundations in Choral Sight Singing, and Vocalize! are widely used in schools, and his compositions like Carry the Light demonstrate his gift for writing singable, teachable music that works in real classrooms.

Greg Gilpin is an ASCAP award-winning composer and conductor whose work spans concert stages from Carnegie Hall to the Sydney Opera House. His arrangement Tongo shows how he integrates world music into the choral repertoire with both musicality and accessibility.

Jay Althouse brings eight years of publishing expertise to his role as a composer, with over 800 choral works in print for all levels. Homeward Bound exemplifies his approach: music that connects with singers and audiences without compromising musical substance.

Victor C. Johnson currently serves as School Choral Editor for Sing! and previously directed choirs at the Ft. Worth Academy of Fine Arts for nearly two decades. His 500-plus published works reflect his deep experience in what works for student ensembles, evident in titles like Siyahamba.
