The Oxford Choral Classics gathers together over three hundred of the world's choral masterpieces into a unique series of seven volumes that span the whole of Western choral literature. Each volume contains all of the established classics of its genre under a single cover, in authoritative new editions and at a budget price. European Sacred Music is the second volume in the series and a fabulous value for money. From the Allegri Misereri to the Victora O vos omnes, John Rutter and co-editor Clifford Bartlett have researched the best available sources and provided excellent new English singing translations and sensible, practical keyboard reductions.

Review
Re: Passiontide Masterworks (Faber) - 'The selection is certainly worth singing, though it's a pity that there is such an overlap with the Oxford Choral Classics anthology of European Sacred Music which has 13 times as much music for under three times the price.' Early Music Review, Feb 98
'The volume is another formidable achievement: legible, usable, clear in intention and execution . . . its combination of established masterpieces with lesser-known delights should appeal to church and concert choirs alike.' The Singer

Excellent Resource,
By A Customer
This review is from: Oxford Choral Classics: European Sacred Music (Paperback)
This is an excellent book of some of the better choral classics. I have sung some of them for years (Mozart's Ave verum) but others are not so familiar (Viadiana's Exaultate justi) to some old friends in a different arrangement (Franck's Panis Angelicus in SATB). Difficulty ranges from fairly easy to difficult, with something for everyone. A good collection for any serious classical chorus or church choir.

A MUST for your choral library!,
By "patricia_leung" (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oxford Choral Classics: European Sacred Music (Paperback)
This compilation of choral gems is one of my prized possessions! It has some tried and true classics like the Cantique de Jean Racine (Gabriel Fauré) and some less mainstream but equally gorgeous pieces, like the Salve Regina (Francis Poulenc). There are some historical and performance notes included. To a teacher, a conductor, student: this is a book you will use and use; there is something for everyone!

Top notch choral compendium,
By MDP (Michigan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oxford Choral Classics: European Sacred Music (Paperback)
A usual Oxford Press is top rate! From the clean voice leading to the acurate translations - you simply can't beat it. For my madrigal choir this is a required book.
