The New Church Anthem Book: One Hundred Anthems

Editorial Review:

A definitive collection of 100 anthems from Tudor times to the present, this book includes favorites as well as lesser-known pieces. The anthems were selected for their practical usefulness for church choirs today, bearing in mind the needs of smaller choirs: the anthems are mostly for SATB with or without keyboard accompaniments.

This is a stunning collection of all that is best from the Anglican literature, but suitable for many denominations. The music ranges from the tudor tradition to 20th century pieces. The best thing about the book is that 90% of them are excellent and useable. Even if you don't use several of them, the cost is only about 25 cents an octavo. I've used this and the former edition with my choirs since 1983. It's also nicely indexed by composer, and liturgical season. Definately a choral library in one book.
