The William Walton Edition is a collected edition of the works of one of England's finest and best-loved composers. Each work is newly edited and engraved, and checked against the composer's
manuscript, previous published editions, and all other relevant material. The result is a definitive and fully practical edition, based on the form in which the composer ultimately wished it to be
performed. Choral composition was an important and constant thread throughout Walton's composing career, and this volume brings together all his choral works designed to be sung a cappella or with
organ: anthems, carols, partsongs, and service settings.

- ''a handsome volume, with extensive notes on each piece, even the smallest.' -The Singer Oct 1999
- ''Pride of place (and price) must surely be given to a superb volume, hard-backed
with gilt lettering, The William Walton Edition: shorter choral works without orchestra (£85). Enterprising choral conductors who are about to celebrate 10, 20, or even 25 years at the rostrum are the
obvious people for whom such a gift would be very acceptable, and it is indeed a most handsome book . . . There is an excellent preface and notes on each work by Timothy Brown, and if you have
recently had a Lottery winning, there is little doubt where you ought to spend it!' -CMQ July 99
