Volume 3 - Liturgical Works - is currently being prepared for publication later in 2020

Due to the wonderful response to our first volume we are now working on Volume 4  Advent/Christmas/Epiphany music, and we invite composers and music editors not already included within our Anthology series, to put forward recommendations and compositions for consideration. Music must be either for Upper Voices, SATB (or SSAATTBB, or SA+unison lower voices) or Lower Voices (eg. ATB, or TTBB). Submissions and recommendations can be sent to louisestewart@multitudeofvoyces.co.uk. Works can be in any language and musical style but must be either unaccompanied or accompanied by an instrument in the keyboard family as appropriate.
