For every children's and youth choir, the path from monophony to polyphony is an exciting process. 'chorissimo! blue', the new, equal-voice volume of the successful chorus series chorissimo!, accompanies and supports this journey both with an extensive, carefully selected, stylistically diverse repertoire of pieces and with versatile practical working material, including playback and audio CDs as well as a video DVD. The curricularly structured volume leads in six steps from monophony via canons and quodlibets to homophonic and polyphonic two- and three-part harmony, and is thus also ideally suited for music lessons in lower secondary school. Various workshops, some of which are illustrated by videos, focus on individual aspects of choral work such as beatboxing or warm-ups. All pieces are accompanied by piano; furthermore, some pieces can also be accompanied by additional instruments or band arrangements, for which flexible voice material is available. A website with mp3 files of the individual parts opens up new, attractive possibilities for rehearsal.

For students, this handy edition is designed for choir (editionchor) (without piano accompaniment).
