The Boosey & Hawkes Concerts for Choirs series is an innovative approach to concert planning for choirs. Each volume contains a wealth of material to help the choral director assemble a concert programme - all from one volume. The anthology draws on the vast Boosey and Hawkes archive and also includes many specially-composed or newly-arranged pieces. 'Kaleidoscope' (for upper voices, appropriate both for children's choirs and for adult upper voice choirs) has been compiled by Ronald Corp, famous for his work with the New London Children’s Choir, one of the busiest and most successful children's ensembles in the UK. The title of the volume comes from one of his own works, and the book also contains tried and tested pieces by an exhilarating range of other composers.
Britten's pacifist masterwork, combining war poetry by Wilfred Owen with the Latin Requiem Mass, is included in the Masterworks Library of full scores, ideal for conductors, students and music lovers.
