Volume 1
SATB Anthems
22 accompanied and unaccompanied SATB Anthems by historical and living women composers for use throughout the church year
‘I can't praise you enough for such a wonderful initiative - well done! The list of anthems looks really great and a good mix of things for throughout the year. I'm already looking at next term and some of these would be excellent additions.’

With the advent of projects and books such as Multitude of Voyces', women composers can see that they do have a tradition to be part of, a tradition that goes back over a thousand years and will only continue to grow with the burgeoning discovery of music by women in all eras of music. I can only imagine what there is yet to discover in libraries all over the world’.
