A uniquely accessible and comprehensive resource for use in church services and concerts throughout the Church's year. The volume's 50 SATB pieces, both accompanied and unaccompanied, are suitable choirs of all sizes and abilities and provides an excellent choice of pieces for the Principal Feasts. The collection champions new, approachable, and unjustly neglected repertoire spanning all periods and traditions, whilst avoiding widely available or difficult music. The book includes many previously unpublished or newly commissioned anthems, arrangements, and editions by important composers and church musicians and contains useful musical and liturgical introductions in addition to full indexes, glossaries of additional uses for the repertoire.
