Description
“This SATB compilation includes a wide range of music familiar to all those who have heard the King’s Singers and similar Oxbridge-derived groups.Peter Gritton, with wide choral experience, has selected 24 contrasting original compositions and arrangements, ranging from The Geographical Fugue to Old MacDonald had a Farm, via The Mermaid and The Teddy Bears’ Picnic. The arrangements, both accompanied and a cappella, should provide a challenge to choirs, as well as considerable enjoyment. Good value for money, Encores for Choirs is a useful extension to the repertoire of many four-part choirs.” [MMA Ensemble magazine – Resources Section]
