Features: This book features a wide range of selections: countries span from Europe and America to the Asia-Pacific region, with many works that have rarely been introduced before, such as those from South Africa, Portugal, Finland, and Latin American countries. The creative and periods range from classical songs of the 18th and 19th centuries, ancient folk songs, to modern and even recently released songs. The genres include art songs, folk songs, and even pop songs, jazz and rock songs, dance songs, as well as film and musical songs. The performance forms range from four-part mixed choir to small unison choirs. Each country, each ethnic group, and each song from different eras and genres have their own unique styles and personalities. The choral works selected in this book are mostly collected directly from abroad, as original, authentic sheet music is extremely difficult 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 written in the main text. Additionally, in this book, except for four-part mixed choir, other performance forms (such as mixed trio choir, unison two-part all-singing, and unison trio choir, etc.) do not mark vocal parts (soprano, alto, tenor, bass). Performers can handle them according to the situation. This book is a very practical musical score.
