About this title

Review:

It contains a range of items from the overtly sentimental to the dizzyingly cerebral with which to wow your audience. (The Singer, August 98)

The arrangements, both accompanied and a cappella, should provide a challenge to choirs, both technically and in terms of communication, as well as considerable enjoyment. The cost represents good value for money, and should provide a useful extension to the repertoire of many four-part choirs. (Ensemble (MMA), June 98)
