About This Collection
Description
Novelty choral music sits in its own category: the fun, engaging material that fills your concert second half and keeps singers excited about rehearsal. You'll find 587 titles here, heavily weighted toward secular and pop arrangements with strong recorded accompaniment support. Andy Beck's "The Moon: 2-Part Choral Octavo" leads the collection in popularity, while John Debney's multiple arrangements of "Theme from Elf" across different voicings give you flexible options for SATB, 2-part, and 3-part mixed choirs. The majority of these pieces cluster around easy to moderately easy difficulty, making them accessible for younger ensembles or as break-week material for more advanced groups.
Highlights
Teachers keep coming back to "The Moon: 2-Part Choral Octavo" by Andy Beck, which consistently sells strong across levels. John Debney's "Theme from Elf" exists in multiple voicing arrangements (SATB, 2-part, and 3-part mixed), giving you ways to program movie music across your entire program. Sally K. Albrecht's "Holiday Lights: 2-Part (with Opt. Flashlight Choreography) Choral Octavo" and Greg Gilpin's "It's Raining Men: SSA Choral Octavo" round out the most popular titles, offering movement options and contemporary pop appeal.
