About This Collection
Description
This collection of 613 multicultural choral pieces gives your students access to music from around the world. Jay Althouse's ¡Cantar! (Sing!) series anchors the catalog in multiple voicings, from 2-part through SATB, and Greg Gilpin's Tongo has become a reliable choice for building ensemble skill across levels. You'll find recorded accompaniments for most titles, folk arrangements that work for festivals and concerts, and pieces built around holidays like Kwanzaa, Chanukah, and Christmas alongside secular celebrations of peace and cultural traditions.
Highlights
Teachers keep returning to ¡Cantar! (Sing!): 2-Part Choral Octavo by Jay Althouse, which anchors this collection and comes in multiple voicings for different ensemble sizes. Greg Gilpin's Tongo holds steady as another popular choice, and Andy Beck's Mi Gallo consistently draws interest for its accessibility and cultural authenticity.
Recently added
Recent additions include Tipitin, a TTBB a cappella piece by Maria Grever, along with Ruth Morris Gray's Banaha and Earlene Rentz's The Shepherd and the Cat, both 2-part arrangements released in spring 2026. Douglas E. Wagner's Shalom / Zum Gali pairs two traditional pieces for flexible programming.
Composer Spotlight
Jay Althouse brings eight years of publishing administration experience to his 110 titles in this collection, and his pedagogical grounding in music education shows in how his arrangements scale across voicings without sacrificing musicality. ¡Cantar! (Sing!) became popular because it respects both the source material and the needs of growing choirs.
Greg Gilpin is an ASCAP award-winning arranger who conducts at venues like Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and the Sydney Opera House. His arrangements like Tongo carry the authority of someone who knows how these pieces need to sound in performance and how to shape them for student singers.
Ruth Morris Gray directs choirs at Rosemead High School in California and holds degrees in both piano performance and music composition from Biola University and UC Santa Barbara. Her 85 published pieces emerge from direct experience teaching high school singers, which shows in how she voices for accessibility without dumbing down the musical content.
Andy Beck directs choral publications at Alfred Music and has written over 450 choral works, including the well-known method series Sing at First Sight and Vocalize! His practical experience as both composer and conductor makes his arrangements immediately usable in rehearsal.
