 I have received many requests for scores, so I have included them on this page. My scores are working documents and are not edited for publication, so do not expect a fininshed document.
I do not guarantee that the score and the parts are in agreement and accept no responsibility in case of differences.
If scores are used for competitions, I would like to know the outcome. Please send me a contact.

Files are SATB except as noted in "Comments". "SaATB" means the arrangement can be played SATB or AATB.

Difficulty is based on a scale of 1(Elementary) to 7(Very difficult for an amateur). You are welcome to disagree with my ratings.

Perform these arrangements at concerts, but please ask me before recording them. ALWAYS give credit to the composer and arranger when performing, whether in concert or on Youtube.com.
