This Recommended Repertoire List is being updated and expanded continuously, so add this page to your favourites. It contains pieces which we have sung, or have heard other choirs sing, and can recommend. If possible we provide links to where the music can be purchased. Please email the Webmaster if you have problems or you are searching for a particular piece.
Although we are based in Brisbane, Australia, this site welcomes visitors from all over the world who are looking for good choral music. We do what we can to help you find the music you are seeking, or to provide a list of pieces for you to browse if you are not sure what you want. Many pieces are available from Sheet Music Plus. (Their service is prompt and reliable, even to places as far away as Australia, and usually cheaper than buying direct from the publisher). Look in the Available Here column for a quick link to where you can buy the music.
A vast amount of choral music deals with serious subjects, and rightly so, but there is always room for a bit of fun as well. If you are looking for something amusing and different, for an encore or closer for a light program, then you might enjoy A Choral Menagerie.
To Search our Recommended Repertoire List, use your browser's "Find on this page" function (available on the Edit menu, or by holding down the Ctrl Key and typing F). Enter the name of the piece or composer. Keep searching by pressing the Enter key.
If you still can't find the music you want, try searching here.
