Javier Busto : SSAA Arrangements Vol. 1 The beautiful choral writing of Javier Busto speaks to the heart. His "Ave Maria" is one of the great works, which permits a choir to perform to the fullest, emotionally as well as technically. A fine choice for a festival program. Composed for the Tapiola Choir, the theme for "For The Peace", describes in its three sections how provocation and violence are turned into understanding and peace.The Lord Is My Shepherd is an equally brilliant setting of the 23rd Psalm. Magnificat is perfect for your Children's Choir Christmas program! Songlist: The Lord is My Shepherd, Bustapi (For The Peace), Ave Maria, Gratia Plena, Magnificat 
Javier Busto : SSAA Arrangements Vol. 2 The popular latin text 'Laudate Dominum,' is brought to life in Javier Busto's brilliant setting. The graceful setting of 'Salve Regina' highlights the beauty of the female voice. For ambitious choirs, it would be an excellent concert or competition choice. The beautiful setting of 'Pupule Meus' will be enjoyed equally by the singers and audience alike! Songlist: Laudate Dominum, Popule Meus, Salve Regina |

Javier Busto's Missa Minima, edited by John Ratledge, was designed for short worship services. Because of this, it was written without complexity, expressing the possibilities of rhythmic and melodic changes, but following the classical concept of the Mass. The movements can stand alone or be performed together, making this accessible for high school, college, or professional choirs.

Salve, written by Javier Busto and edited by John Ratledge, was premiered on November 15, 2014 at a tribute concert to Javier Busto in Hondarribia. The concert was called "Begirada urdina" or "Eyes of Blue," and this piece was composed for this special occasion. The title responds to the author's intention of emphasizing the Salve greeting, but still recognizes it as a hymn to the Virgin Mary, with a beautiful and peaceful end.

Javier Busto's Tres Cantas Cantabras for SATB a cappella, edited by John Ratledge, was written with a strong desire to "not ruin such beautiful popular melodies." In the first lullaby, the child is being put to bed, while the second lullaby represents the child being warned that the boogeyman is coming. In the third and final lullaby, the child finally drifts off to sleep.
