CALICANTO CHORAL SERIES
CALICANTO CHORAL SERIES
The Calicanto Choral Series features over fifty choral arrangements in unison, two and three parts. All octavos are suitable for children's and women's voices. The songs are historically relevant with traditional American and multi-cultural origins. They provide a glimpse of life of earlier days in the United States and other countries.
Piano accompaniment and simple instrumental parts are included for some of the arrangements. The octavos address a range of abilities and performance levels for beginning, intermediate and advanced choruses.
