3 voices 3: Weltliche Chormusik

Just like the previously published 3 voices choir books Volume 1 - Advent & Christmas (C7000) and Volume 2 - Sacred Choral Music (C8000), the new Volume 3 - Secular Choral Music once again offers a unique, comprehensive repertoire for the 3-part mixed choir for every conceivable singing occasion and occasion.

235 secular choral pieces and choral arrangements for concerts, festivals and meetings, characterized by a wide range of styles and content, make this book a treasure trove for every choir director and inspire all choirs, from youth choirs to older choirs. You will find:

> Original compositions and arrangements from 6 centuries
> Contemporary choral compositions, new choral songs
> Choral arrangements of pop songs, oldies & evergreens
> Folk & ethno pieces as well as spirituals
> Vocal warm-ups, canons & circle songs

The choir book offers a repertoire for all levels of ability; however, the focus is on easy to moderately difficult pieces. The division into 6 chapters is based on thematic aspects - ideal for putting together varied concert programs:

1. For Music - To the music, for festivals and celebrations, Choral Starters
2. My Life - Choral music for life, freedom and peace
3. Don't Worry, Be Happy - Humor, swing hits and good mood songs in the choir
4. Herz über Kopf - Choral music between friendship, love happiness and relationship sorrow
5. What a Wonderful Day - Choral music for nature, day and year
6. Abeeyo - Songs, folk and ethnic choral music from all over the world

To accompany the choir book 3 voices - Weltliche Chormusik, there is a 3-CD box with 80 exemplary complete recordings in interpretations by various choirs and ensembles as motivating listening impulses. A representative sounding cross-section of the book!
