Jazz Choral Sheet Music

Teachers keep coming back to Laufey Jónsdóttir's "From the Start: SATB Choral Octavo," which has established itself as a favorite across choral programs. Mark Hayes's arrangement of "They Can't Take That Away from Me" rounds out the top sellers, while Kirby Shaw's "And All That Jazz: SATB Choral Octavo" delivers what many directors turn to for a title that signals the genre clearly to audiences.

Laufey has added "Christmas Magic" in both SAB and SATB voicings, and Rube Bloom's "Give Me the Simple Life: SATB Choral Octavo" arrived in the last four months, expanding the collection's seasonal and standards-based offerings.

Jay Althouse brings over 800 choral works to print and leads this collection with 140 titles. His background in music education and his tenure as a rights administrator for a major educational publisher inform an approach to choral writing that spans all ability levels, with "The Pink Panther: SATB Choral Octavo" showing his gift for making familiar material accessible and fun.

Mark Hayes is an award-winning pianist and conductor whose personal catalog exceeds 1,750 published works. His arrangements of jazz and popular standards are rooted in serious musical training (summa cum laude from Baylor) and decades of conducting at venues like Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall, lending both sophistication and performance credibility to his choral writing.

Kirby Shaw has shaped choral music education across 45 states and internationally, holding degrees in music education, choral composition, and a DMA in choral conducting. His reputation rests on combining musical depth with an infectious sense of humor and accessibility, qualities that come through clearly in "And All That Jazz: SATB Choral Octavo" and his other 80 titles in this collection.
