Editorial Reviews
Review
'A classic of its type, a model of compositional excellence, a good buy, and a treasury of important repertoire for fledgling choral libraries.' Worship (USA)
'This well-chosen and well-presented collection of anthems must be an investment to be seriously considered.' The Bulletin of the Church Music Society of the Methodist Church (USA)
`In short, The New Church Anthem Book is a resource that a choir can use Sunday after Sunday throughout the year.' Choral Journal
'The new book is beautifully produced and clearly printed, with sensible accompaniments and authoritative editing.' Martin Neary, Church Times
`The printing and editing are up to Oxford's usual high standards, and the volume would stand up to heavy repeated use. It is also very user-friendly . . . It is of course an excellent general collection for choirs and a superb reference book for directors.' USA Association of Anglican Musicians' Journal
`A beautiful book of some 578 pages which represents a valuable reference source for church musicians . . . The presentation of individual anthems is exemplary.' Choral Guild Letters
'Having all of these under one cover strikes me as a fine thing, especially when I consider how often these staple anthems become so worn and tattered over the years; this volume offers a one-time replacement of them in uniform editions with Oxford's high standards of clear music production . . . Dakers and Oxford University Press deserve our great thanks and high praise for this magnificently conceived and usefully produced collection.' The Journal of the Association of Anglian Musicians (USA)
`Handsomely hard-bound and beautifully printed on acid-free paper . . . Its presentation and editorial practice are exemplary. I can't think of an organist or choir director who would not fall in love with it at first sight and want to own it.' Victorian Organ Journal
`This is a wonderful compilation of materials . . . Highly recommended to those choirs wanting to build an immediate repertoire of standards and useful anthems . . . These settings will carry most choirs through several years of material. Excellent!' Diapason
Product Description
A definitive collection of 100 anthems from Tudor times to the present, this book includes favorites as well as lesser-known pieces. The anthems were selected for their practical usefulness for church choirs today, bearing in mind the needs of smaller choirs: the anthems are mostly for SATB with or without keyboard accompaniments.
