Standard Choral Sheet Music

Teachers consistently return to When You Wish Upon a Star by Leigh Harline and They Can't Take That Away from Me by George Gershwin, both SATB octavos that anchor many concert seasons. Over the Rainbow by Harold Arlen and Theme from New York, New York by John Kander round out the core repertoire. Most of these titles come with recorded accompaniments and instrumental parts, practical features for busy directors.

Recent additions include Give Me the Simple Life by Rube Bloom and That's All by Bob Haymes, both available in SATB, SAB, and SSA voicings to match your ensemble needs.

Mark Hayes is an award-winning arranger whose personal catalog exceeds 1,750 published works.

Jay Althouse brings music education expertise and practical knowledge to his work as an arranger. He holds degrees from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in Music Education and Music, and his 800-plus published choral works span all skill levels. His arrangement Lullaby of Broadway (and Forty-Second Street) exemplifies how he balances musical substance with teachability.

Kirby Shaw's reputation stems from his degrees in Music Education, Choral Composition, and a DMA in Choral Conducting from the University of Washington. He has spent decades sharing his expertise across the U.S., Canada, and Europe, and his arrangements like Orange Colored Sky bring both musicality and humor to the rehearsal room. Shaw's work is known for engaging singers while maintaining genuine artistic merit.
