Description:

For SATB, accompanied, and unaccompanied, to celebrate the centenary of the Oxford University Press Music Department, this volume of 50 new carols complements the five previous volumes, bringing new names and styles to the series while providing a complete resource for choirs from Advent to Epiphany.

Gabriel Faure’s unconventional composition Requiem has become a firm favourite in the repertoire and available here is the vocal score, for Soloists and SATB Choir with Piano Accompaniment, as edited by Desmond Ratcliffe.

One way to prepare for the rigorous demands of choral singing is to begin the rehearsal with a warm-up round. 100 Warm-up Rounds for Choirs aims to concentrate on some of the elements of good singing, providing material that will settle the voices through controlled breathing, open throats, clear vowel sounds and expressive phrasing.
