About This Collection
Description
This collection of 2,312 concert choral octavos spans secular, sacred, folk, pop, and world music, with voicings from unison through SATB. Teachers rely on perennial favorites like Carry the Light and Northern Lights by Andy Beck, as well as Robert T. Gibson's a cappella showstoppers Dance! in both 2-part and SATB versions. You'll find most titles available in both printed octavo and digital download formats, with over 1,500 accompanied recordings and nearly 1,400 titles suitable for contest or festival use.
Highlights
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.
Recently added
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.
