Features: This collection includes 95 selected choral pieces from China and abroad, published in simple notation, suitable for community choirs. It also features 84 selected folk choral pieces in simple notation, ideal for community choirs. The selection criteria for this repertoire library are characterized by three key features: First, classicism. Works that have stood the test of time and are widely recognized by the public. Second, accessibility and practicality. Any pieces that have been widely sung and appreciated by choir enthusiasts and are easy to popularize 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 library encompasses nearly all types of choral music, featuring representative works from different periods, schools, styles, and levels in China and abroad, organized into categories to meet the needs of various types of choirs at different levels. 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 choral festivals, and some recommended choral pieces by the National Arts Education Commission in recent years. The content is divided into 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) Adapted full-sung versions of classic children's folk songs. (4) World-famous children's choir pieces and excellent works with new lyrics based on famous melodies. The repertoire is extensive, diverse in form, and varied in style, with valuable resources. Each piece is followed by inspirational performance tips. The arrangement progresses from simple to complex, catering to the needs of choirs at different levels—from beginners to 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.
