New Horizons showcases the wealth of exciting, innovative, and occasionally challenging choral music being written today. It encompasses the whole gamut of small-scale choral genres, both secular
and sacred, and includes pieces for upper-voice and mixed choirs. With titles by some of the most accomplished choral composers active in Great Britain and abroad, the series introduces new repertoire
and fresh talent to a broad spectrum of choirs.
New Horizons features composers with growing reputations for quality composition reflecting a strong individual voice. The series is continually
expanding and should be the first place to look for attractive and performable contemporary choral music. for SATB, with organ and unaccompanied
Cantica Nova is an outstanding collection of new
motets by contemporary British composers. The pieces present a kaleidoscope of different styles and sonorities, united in their ability to communicate fresh ideas and the skill of their vocal
writing.
Encompassing a wide range of texts, with settings of some of the great hymns of the Church alongside little known, rarely set texts, the collection will be welcomed by concert and church
choirs seeking innovative and exciting contemporary repertoire.

- 'New Horizons has as its objective the show-casing of contemporary choral music with something new and individual to say, including work by lesser-known, younger-generation composers who
may not hitherto have caught the public eye. These laudable objectives are to the fore in Cantica Nova . . . Whether or not you intend to perform these works, hwoever, Cantica Nova is a valuable
publication for gauging the quality, variety and extent of choral composition in the UK.' Matthew Greenall, The Singer, Feb 05
- 'What has the potential to be an interesting and valuable volume is
limited due to what would be for many choirs prohibitive musical complexity. However, as one would expect from OUP, this volume is well constructed and presented, and contains original, captivating
music that deserves to find its place in the frequently all too traditional choral repertoire.' David McKee, CMQ Sept 04
- 'Oxford University Press, one of the world's major publishers of choral
music, has done it again . . . both Blackwell and OUP are to be congratulated for such an innovative and comprehensive addition to choral publishing. The collection bears the OUP hallmark: the clearly
laid-out scores with keyboard reductions . . . It should be emphasised that all the pieces are worthy of thorough examination and it is to be hoped that choral directors and singers alike will explore
this vast treasure-trove for themselves . . . Cantica Nova not only provides singers and choral directors with an outstanding resource but is a fascinating insight into choral composing in the UK
today.' Matthew Owens, Choir & Organ Sept 04
