About This Collection
Description
Multicultural choral music opens doors to songs and traditions from around the world. This collection spans Latin, Jewish, African, Asian, and folk traditions, with arrangements for everything from 2-part treble choirs to full SATB ensembles. Teachers keep returning to foundational titles like ¡Cantar! (Sing!) by Jay Althouse, which appears in multiple voicings to serve different choir levels. Many selections qualify for festival and contest use, including those on the NYSSMA and Texas UIL Prescribed Lists.
Highlights
Jay Althouse's ¡Cantar! (Sing!) dominates adoption across voicings, with 2-part, SAB, and SATB arrangements all widely used in classrooms. Greg Gilpin's Tongo consistently draws teachers back for its accessibility and cultural authenticity. Sally K. Albrecht's Sakura and Andy Beck's Mi Gallo round out the most popular titles, each offering straightforward arrangements with strong pedagogical value.
Recently added
Maria Grever's Tipitin arrives as a new a cappella option for TTBB ensembles, while Ruth Morris Gray's Banaha and Douglas E. Wagner's Shalom/Zum Gali join the 2-part catalog. Earlene Rentz's The Shepherd and the Cat adds another accessible entry point for younger or newer choirs.
