Dear Choral Colleagues:
As Choral Advisor and Choral Music Experience (CME) Editor for Boosey & Hawkes, it is a privilege to introduce Artistry for All, a comprehensive and incomparable compilation of new choral music for the concert stage, choral classroom and worship.
Boosey & Hawkes choral repertoire is rooted in the impressive legacy of Bartók, Kodály, Britten, Bernstein, and Copland, among many others. Side by side, these musical masters are joined by a roster of award-winning composers and arrangers who continue to inspire our choirs with new choral music perfectly suited for performance and education.
For adult, child, professional and amateur, Boosey & Hawkes choral music spans every voicing, instrumentation and style, satisfying art-ists and audiences alike. For choral conductors and choral teachers seeking repertoire that informs the mind, body, and soul of every singer, Boosey & Hawkes’s distinctive choral series provides an all-in-one resource for the choral classics, world music, contemporary, and popular works of living composers.
I hope Artistry for All will inspire and inform both your concert programming and your curriculum planning. Boosey & Hawkes seeks to usher in a new era of excellence for ALL, an era that embraces diversity and inclusion through the study and perfor-mance of great music by composers from around the world.
Wishing you and your singers the deep joy and understanding that comes from choral music experience,
Doreen Rao, PhD Choral Advisor and Editor Boosey & Hawkes

For Now, i KnowMary GoeTze series
A beautiful melody accompanied by a simple yet lush piano accompaniment, this work provides unique moments for singers

CenotaphChorus and orChesTra
saTB Chorus and Piano reduCTion
Dominick Argento’s Cenotaph was the American Choral Directors
Association’s Raymond W. Brock Memorial Commission for its 2009 national convention in Oklahoma City. A cenotaph is defined as a monument to someone buried elsewhere, and the cenotaphs found in America—and indeed across the world—have inspired Argento’s writing. This newly-commis-sioned work uses a collage of textual sources, and employs the composer’s signature harmonic language and melodic beauty. From the initial muted rumblings of a crowd awaiting a parade to the broad a cappella textures of its internal movements, Cenotaph com-memorates those who have given their lives for their countries, no matter what that country happens to be.48019927 SATB Chorus and

Juxtaposing the sol-emn and somber
devotion expressed in the 17th-century Swedish chorale-hymns and the more unrestrained, joyful worship manifest in 19th-century spirituals, the extremely different music and origins, text and intention: rendering praise to the glory of God are remarkably similar.48019899 SATB a cappella ..........$1.80

The World Beloved: A Bluegrass MasssinG a new sonG series
The solemnity of the classical-based Mass joins together with
the down-home sparkle of bluegrass to create a work that is unique in scope, and a beautiful union of seemingly dis-parate musical traditions. The composer hopes that listeners coming from one tradition—classical or bluegrass—and perhaps dubious about the other, might discover something new and wonderful in the combination, as she has.

The concept for this suite originated when the arranger, David Elliott and series advi-
