High School Choral Music

MUSIC FOR DEVELOPING CHORAL PROGRAMS
AND STANDARD MUSIC FOR EVERY CHORAL LIBRARY

Below is just the beginning of a repertoire list of a list of pieces for developing choral programs, as well as selections that will serve as great resources for every high school choral library. They are all tried-and-true pieces by well established composers, arrangers and editors- of course, there are hundreds of others. As we continue to develop our Eastern Division online High School resources, this list will be expanding. Let us know if you have any suggestions!
