Here are new original compositions and arrangements designed to make your limited forces sound great! Although these works are composed for smaller choirs, they are challenging. Most of them will take some work, but the payoff for your choir is well worth the effort! Even if you have a full compliment of singers, you’ll find anthems in this book that your choir will ask to sing again and again. Also included is the Mass of the Shepherds by Karl Kempter (1819-1871). An easy SAB Mass in the classical style. Karl didn’t have any tenors either!
