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; creative and ages 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. Songs from each country, each ethnic group, and each different era and genre have their own unique styles and personalities. Most of the choral works selected in this book are collected directly from abroad, with original, authentic sheet music that is extremely rare to find domestically. A few works, although adapted by others, are based on original and original recordings, in order to preserve and reflect the style of the original to the greatest extent possible. Only the names of the lyricists and composers, as well as the choral arrangers, are listed in the book's table of contents. 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 three-part mixed choir, two-part unison choir, and three-part unison choir) do not mark vocal parts (soprano, alto, tenor, bass). The performers can handle them according to the specific situation. This book is a very practical musical score.
