Features: This book features a wide range of selections: countries range from Europe and America to the Asia-Pacific region, many of which have rarely been introduced before, such as South Africa, Portugal, Finland, and Latin American countries; creation and circulation span from classical songs of the 18th and 19th centuries, ancient folk songs to modern and even recently released songs; genres include art songs, folk songs, and even pop songs, jazz and rock songs, dance songs, as well as film and musical songs; performance forms range from four-part mixed choir to small unison choirs. Each country, each ethnic group, and each song of different eras and genres have their own unique styles and personalities. Most of the choral works selected in this book are collected directly from abroad, as the original, authentic sheet music is extremely rare to find domestically. A few works, although adapted by others, are based on original and original vocal recordings to the greatest extent possible to preserve and reflect the style of the original. Only the names of the lyricists and composers, as well as the choral arrangers, are listed in the book's index. The names of the arrangers are recorded in the main text. Additionally, in this book, performance forms other than four-part mixed choir (such as three-part mixed choir, two-part unison choir, etc.) do not include vocal part markings (soprano, alto, tenor, bass). Performers can handle them according to the situation. This book is a very practical musical score.
