About This Collection

Description

Lawson-Gould publishes choral music across secular, sacred, and world traditions, with strong representation in folk arrangements and spirituals. Teachers working with mixed voices will find James Erb's Shenandoah (SSAATTBB a cappella) and Kyle Pederson's Bringers of Noise (available in SAB and SA voicings) leading the catalog. Nicholas Hooper's In Noctem offers SATB options, while the collection spans moderate to moderately difficult levels suitable for high school and community ensembles.

Highlights

Teachers keep coming back to James Erb's Shenandoah for its full octave voicing and a cappella flexibility. Kyle Pederson's Bringers of Noise works across multiple voicings, making it adaptable for different ensemble sizes. Nicholas Hooper's In Noctem gives SATB groups a popular choice for concert and contest programming.

Recently added

Maria Grever's Tipitin (TTBB a cappella) and Thomas A. Dorsey's Precious Lord, Take My Hand (SATB a cappella) joined the catalog in spring 2026. Nick Myers added Behind the Willow Trees (SATB a cappella) as another recent option for mixed ensembles.
