Features: This book compiles 108 outstanding Chinese children's choir compositions. It includes 84 selected folk choir pieces published in simple notation, suitable for community choir use. The selection principles of this repertoire have three major characteristics: First, classicism. Works that have stood the test of time and are recognized by the general public as fine pieces. Second, popularity and practicality. Any works that are widely sung and appreciated by choir enthusiasts and are easily accessible are included in this collection. Each score is accompanied by brief background information or performance suggestions, which are helpful for rehearsals and also serve as a guide for appreciation. Third, contemporaneity and diversity. The repertoire nearly encompasses all types of choir music, selecting representative works from different periods, schools, styles, and levels from all over the world, categorized to meet the needs of various levels and types of choirs. The Children's Choir volume selects over 200 pieces, including reserved works from renowned domestic and international children's choirs, new award-winning compositions from choir festivals, and some recommended choir pieces by the National Arts Education Commission in recent years. The content includes 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 traditional children's songs that have been sung for generations. (3) Full-sung adaptations of classic children's folk songs. (4) World-famous children's choir pieces and excellent works based on famous compositions with new lyrics. The repertoire is extensive, diverse in form, and varied in style, with valuable materials. Each piece is followed by inspirational performance suggestions. The arrangement progresses from simple to complex, catering to the needs of choirs at different levels—beginner, intermediate, and advanced. It is a comprehensive reference book for choir teaching. It can be used for choir teaching, performances, and competitions in schools, classes, and children's palaces across various regions, offering both collectible and practical value. The publication of this book is a "throwing of 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 continuously releasing new and outstanding compositions.
