new composer

We are happy to work with Masha Koubenski a new young composer in our catalogue. Her first published piece I Shall Love You Until, SATB a cappella is fresh and engaging with an emotional depth belying her tender years. Check the web site for further details.

ave verum corpus

Those of you looking for a challenging but beautiful SSATTB a cappella piece will be interested in our latest publication, Ave Verum Corpus by Ben Jisoo Kim. This is the third piece by Ben in our catalogue, the other two being Veni Sancte Spiritus, a lovely SSAATTBB a cappella number and the interesting and challenging Litany: Apotheosis of Pharaoh Pepi II SATB a cappella. You can listen to recordings of these two pieces on the website.

two new pieces by laura silberberg

We have added two new pieces to our Laura Silberberg collection- a beautiful, simple, short Sanctus and an energetic Hosanna with some rhythmic intricacies. Modal in melody and harmony the latter has only one accidental in seven pages! With practice both pieces could be well sung by a good church or community choir although they were commissioned by an auditioned choir.

new work by c. jerome mcfarland

Treble voice choirs will be interested in our new publication Christopher Robin is Saying his Prayers, SSA with piano by C Jerome McFarland. Most people are familiar with AA Milne's words and Jerome has done a fine job of capturing the essence in a simple and effective piece. Suitable for community, high school and college treble voices.
