For Summer Church Choir Wednesday, May 11, 2016
recommended by Judy H. and Jennifer F., Sacred Choral Music Specialists
As we head into summer, we recommend both the Easy Anthems and Singing Men series as excellent options for summer church choirs – with many full choirs on summer hiatus or with members traveling out of town, it can be a challenge to find repertoire to effectively lead your congregation while still being musically achievable! New this year:
Easy Anthems Vol. 6 compiled by Jane Holstein
Here is the 6th volume in our successful series of accessible voicings of top-sellers in the Hope Publishing catalog. There are pieces for Advent, Christmas, Palm Sunday, Lent, Communion and general occasions in a variety of styles. All of these are proven winners from composers and arrangers: Joel Raney, Lloyd Larson, Joe Martin, John Carter, Jay Althouse, Marty Parks, and Ruth Elaine Schram. Each is set for SAB or Two-Part Mixed choirs.
Singing Men Vol. 5 arranged by Lloyd Larson
Here is the 5th volume in our successful series of TTBB voicings of top-sellers in the Hope Publishing catalog. All of these are popular contemporary songs are top-selling arrangements from Lloyd Larson.
