The sphere of modern music, so as the ecclesiastic one widen any choirmaster’s outlook. Therefore it would be up to mark to include the compositions of diverse styles forming the exact collection to choirs programmes.
As the pearls entering to this collection are skillfully arranged they are rather attainable for different choral casts (mixed or homogeneous). The material is really useful for children’s choirs.
Due to her experience the author of this collection Ludmila Adamovna Zhukova penetrates into the vocal nature peculiarities of different casts, adapting rather complicated repertoire to children’s and women’s casts.(“St.Virgin Mary”and “Stranger’s Prayer” by A. Schnitke). The main virtue of the arrangers manner is her mostly solicitous treatment of author’s original text. Ludmila Zhukova achieves convenient linear part-singing.
Many choirs were a success at the international competitions performing these choruses.
This collection is intended for choirmasters striving for their stock enrichment. Wonderful patterns of the world music revive on this collection’s pages, which will undoubtedly take fancy of both executants and listeners.
