Opis

Chorus directors are always on the look-out for approachable show-stopping concert pieces guaranteed to evoke cries of 'Encore '. In this anthology for mixed voices are 24 such numbers ranging in character from classic, sentimental leave-taking items, through humorous or quirky pieces, to exciting fast-moving numbers that are sure to delight singers and audiences alike. There's an excellent mix of unaccompanied items (all with piano reductions) and accompanied pieces.

Recenzje

The arrangements, both accompanied and a cappella, should provide a challenge to choirs, both technically and in terms of communication, as well as considerable enjoyment. The cost represents good value for money, and should provide a useful extension to the repertoire of many four-part choirs.
