Jamey Ray Choral Music Editor
Dear Choral Directors,
Welcome! I am proud to present Excelcia Music Publishing’s 23 outstanding new choral pieces from a group of incredibly talented composers and arrangers. These pieces were selected with directors, singers and audiences in mind, and they are only the beginning of exceptional choral music that can be expected from Excelcia Music Publishing. Excelcia is also offering a great new tool for educators called Composer Connection, which provides you with unprecedented access to your favorite composers. I have chosen music with voicings from unison/two-part up to SATB divisi. We have a color coded six-grade series. Each new octavo is meticulously edited and beautifully set for ease of reading. In this catalog, you will find wonderful contrasting pieces within each voicing, perfect for your concert selections. Since these pieces were selected largely with students in mind, the singers will enjoy singing these new and interesting pieces while learning great new repertoire and expanding their knowledge of style.
To help you make your selection, our free Score Videos allow you to listen to a new choral piece and view its score at the same time! Our preview scores and professional recordings (by the Trade Singers) provide you and your students with pedagogical examples of musicianship.
At Excelcia Music Publishing, it is our mission to provide you with artistic, high-quality music by composers
who understand the needs and aspirations of young musicians. These 23 choral pieces have far exceeded my expectations and I can’t wait for you to hear them for yourself.
