The Melodic Voice presents a series of interviews with preeminent composer, conductor, and teacher Alice Parker that offers a fuller and more intimate view of her life and music than ever before.
The conversations Cameron LaBarr and John Wykoff document in these pages perfectly capture the essence of Alice’s core philosophies on melody, arranging, singing, music teaching, conducting, and many other topics.
Choosing repertoire is one of the most important and time-consuming tasks choral conductors undertake. And the Teaching Music through Performance in Choir series remains one of the most important resources for choir directors looking for quality repertoire that has been vetted by a distinguished panel of educators.
Each volume in the series contains Teacher Resource Guides for 100 works, organized by difficulty. Selected by a team of leading choir directors, the repertoire in Volume 5 balances SATB literature with works for women’s and men’s choirs, and includes a healthy mix of selections aimed at bringing greater attention to the rich choral culture in Canada.
Habits of a Successful Choral Musician is a field-tested, vital, and—most important—musical collection of more than 200 sequenced exercises for building fundamentals and artistry.
Perfrect for use by an entire choir or soloist, this book contains carefully sequenced warm-ups, vocalises, chorales, rhythm work, tonal paterns, sight-singing etudes, and much more. In one place, this book presents everything an aspiring singer needs to build fundamental musicianship skills and then be able to transfer those skills directly into the performance of great literature.
A Silver Thread is a comprehensive collection of Silvestri's lyric poetry, written between 2001–2018, including texts commissioned by choral composers and ensembles, as well as many new and unset poems available here all together for the first time.

The music of Ola Gjeilo has clearly established its place in the choral canon for good reason. While there is an incredible luminescence and compelling honesty within his music, if we allow it to work its magic, his music continues past initial listening to resonate around our interior selves, bringing beauty, affirmation, comfort, and sound within us. His musical language is direct and deeply compelling, but it is his sound world that moves us deeply. The directness of his sound world and his gift for meaningful melody are parts of the musical alchemy that have touched millions.
