Features: This book collects 95 selected Chinese and foreign choral pieces, published in simple notation, suitable for community choirs. It also includes 84 selected folk choral pieces in simple notation, suitable for community choirs. The selection principles of this repertoire library have three major characteristics: First, classicism. Works that have stood the test of time and are recognized by the public as fine pieces. Second, popularity and practicality. Works that are widely sung and appreciated by choir enthusiasts, as well as easily accessible masterpieces, are included in this collection. Each score is accompanied by brief background information or performance tips, which are helpful for rehearsals and also serve as a guide for appreciation. Third, contemporaneity and diversity. The repertoire library includes almost all types of choral music, featuring representative works from different periods, schools, styles, and levels in China and abroad, categorized to meet the needs of various types of choirs. The children's choir volume selects over 200 pieces, including reserved works by renowned children's choirs from home and abroad, award-winning compositions from past choir festivals, and some recommended choral pieces by the National Art Education Commission in recent years. The content covers four aspects: (1) Outstanding new works reflecting various aspects of contemporary children's lives. (2) Favorite Chinese and foreign film and television theme songs and enduring traditional children's songs. (3) Fully sung arrangements of classic children's folk songs. (4) World-famous children's choir pieces and excellent works based on famous melodies with new lyrics. The repertoire is extensive, with diverse forms and styles, and the materials are valuable. Each piece is followed by inspirational performance tips. The arrangement progresses from simple to advanced, catering to the needs of choirs at different levels—beginner, intermediate, and advanced—and serves as a comprehensive reference book for choral teaching. It is suitable for choir teaching, performances, and competitions in schools, classes, and children's palaces across the country, offering both collectible and practical value. The publication of this book is like "throwing a brick to attract jade," hoping to inspire more and newer works. We eagerly look forward to it and are willing to provide a platform for continuous publication of new and outstanding works.
