Easy To Sing Responsorial Psalms
The music for the responses and psalms for the Catholic Lectionary is tuneful and easily remembered: so no need to rehearse the congregation! For the Cantor we have made them as accessible as possible by setting the text under the music rather than using the pointing system. This clearly and quickly indicates where the notes change. But the thing that is really going to make this new collection of Psalms and Gospel Acclamations take off is the recording of every Psalm and Gospel Acclamation so that Cantors can learn them at home (CD Set sold separately here).

100 Warm-Up Rounds For Choirs
One way to prepare for the rigorous demands of choral singing is to begin the rehearsal with a warm-up round. 100 Warm-up Rounds for Choirs aims to concentrate on some of the elements of good singing, providing material that will settle the voices through controlled breathing, open throats, clear vowel sounds and expressive phrasing.The rounds are based on easily memorable texts, with ranges that rarely exceed a tenth and in many cases stay withing the octave, making them suitable for choirs of similar voices (all-treble, or all-men voices) or mixed voices, SATB. All the rounds can be transposed to other keys.Some of the material in this book has previously been published as Warm-up Rounds for Choirs and 50 More Warm-up Rounds for Choirs.
