Customer Reviews

A good basic resource

Finally Oxford has heard our cries and compiled this excellent book for the Lenten and Easter season. Grouped according to the Liturgical progression of the season there are many different pieces covering a vast array of musical styles that can be used all throughout Lent and on Easter. While not created for the small choir of a few paniced singers there are a few pieces that are accessible for the smaller choir. A majority of the anthems and settings are intended for SATB with either organ, or unaccompanied. This book has been a wonderful find when it seems the only music for Easter being published by the leading publishers has been a little too "commercial." For those who have any part of the Christmas collections from Oxford, this collection will be right at home in your music library next to your other Oxford books. ~Sean M.
