The New Novello Book Of Short And Easy Anthems For Upper Voices

Product Description

The New Novello Book Of Short & Easy Anthems For Upper Voices is a wonderful collection and an invaluable resource for Upper Voice choirs who have the desire to sing a variety of beautiful anthems, but who have an unfortunately limited amount of rehearsal time. Selected and edited by David Hill , this collection includes anthems that are easy to learn, enjoyable to sing but also sound simply fantastic. Some works included in this collection are universally-loved, pieces like Ave Maria  by Marcel Dupré, The Lord's Prayer by John Tavener and James Whitbourn's wonderful A Prayer Of Desmond Tutu . Despite the title of Short And Easy , these pieces are anything butmundane or tired, they are all exciting, versatile and enjoyable, making this collection perfect for any choir. The collection is an antidote to the fact that many choirs have to rehearse on a limited time, with limited resources. Learning from this collection is quick and efficient, but the songs don't compromise in beauty. With a range of styles, and settings for Eucharist and Evensong, this collection offers a carefully-chosen diversity for Upper Voice Choirs large and small. With James Davy's Sun Of My Soul, Philip Moore's Listen To The Song Of The Children and Elizabeth Poston's The Dormouse's Carol , the selection here is brilliant, including pieces for all occasions and events throughout the year. This makes Short And Easy Anthems  indispensable for Upper Voice Choirs and directors who will instantly be able to draw from a wealth of songs that can be learnt quickly. The works here include simple unison settings, while most of them can be performed with some flexible scoring, allowing the music to be opened up to wider choirs. Featuring a vast number of anthems that can be learnt and sung quickly,
