Re: Battle Hymn of the Republic
Hi all, I am looking for a nice arrangement of ‘Battle Hymn of the Republic’ for a choir of approx 100 voices (SATB or whatever is the closest!). I really like Robert Shaw’s arrangement sang by his famous chorale. Would anyone know where I could get this arrangement? Many Thanks for you help in […]
Chinese Folk Song, Arr. Wayland Rogers
Mo Li Hua, (Jasmine Flower) probably the most well-known of Chinese Folk Songs, has just been released in an arrangement by Wayland Rogers for SATB, flute and plucked string instrument. The dual-language text, in Mandarin and English, extols the beauty of the Jasmine Flower. The haunting melody, used intensively by Puccini in Turandot, in this version […]
Looking for a title for a series of concerts

ani ma’amin
Hello, can anyone suggest an interesting arrangement of ani ma’amin for a small vocal group? The singers are young, so I am thinking of two or three parts, possibly soprano and tenor, or soprano, alto and tenor or baritone range for the boys. Looking online I see various pieces entitled ani ma’amin but I can’t […]
Need source for American text to Jerusalem (aka And Did Those Feet in Ancient Times)
I would sure appreciate any help anyone can give me. I found the perfect choral piece for a patriotic service on the Hal Leonard website, but they have mislabeled and mislinked it. It is a setting of Hubert Parry’s hymn tune “Jerusalem” otherwise known as the famous English hymn “And Did Those Feet in Ancient […]
Bringing out the pure resonant tone in boys
I have a boys choir that started in September 2008 and would like to learn more about training their voices to be more pure and resonant than airy and inconsistent. Are there any videos, books or workshops / seminars that you could recommend so I may access them? I don’t mind going to another country […]
