Jackson, Stephen: Sing Britannia!

  
The Boosey & Hawkes Concerts for Choirs series is an innovative approach to concert planning. Each themed volume contains a wealth of material to help the choral director assemble a concert programme from a single source. So instead of coming on stage with a folder bulging with sheet music and albums, you can now lighten your load. No more worries in concerts about what to do with those heavy books once they have been used: one volume is all you will need. The series covers a vast range of moods and subject matter and each themed anthology contains some of the finest, most accessible choral music written. Each convenient volume contains the best of the Boosey & Hawkes choral catalogue, many specially-composed or newly-arranged pieces and other favourites.



The information included at the end of each book will give the choral director everything needed for brief concert announcements or programmes. More detailed information can be obtained from the Boosey & Hawkes website.



Sing Britannia! contains all you need for your Proms finale concert. The pieces have been selected,  edited, and many newly arranged by Stephen Jackson (Director of the BBC Symphony Chorus), who has trained the choir for innumerable 'Last Night of the Proms' concerts, and whose arrangements for this rousing celebration have been broadcast and televised worldwide.


Whatever the circumstances and size of your choir, there will be a programme within this volume that will suit you. But more than that, the versatility of the Concerts for Choirs series is such that it can be used as an invaluable resource for choral material, whatever your requirements.
