Reviews

• 'I do recommend this book very highly to organists and choirmasters of all levels, for OUP's collection has something for everybody and at the price is a real bargain. It can genuinely claim to be "a complete resource for every church choir".' The Organ, March 08
• 'The main question with this book is why no one has thought to do this before . . . This is a book that could transform your choir's repertoire and is well worth the £12.95. OUP should be congratulated.' Jonathan Wikeley, The Singer, June 06
• '. . . the groups that will benefit most from this book are the myriad parish church and school choirs up and down the country who often struggle for numbers or voice parts . . . this is a life-saver if you conduct a choir of the only-one-80-year-old-tenor or men-only-at-Christmas sort . . . This book will surely become a staple for choirs throughout the country.' Jonathan Wikeley, Music Teacher March 08
