A Star is Born (JSB #17)

£4.50

A Star is Born features 10 two-part Christmas songs for equal voices, some of which are new compositions, alongside arrangements of old favourites. All these songs have been road-tested and represent a variety of styles to encourage singers to develop different aspects of vocal technique; the full set of  songs would work well as a basis for a Christmas concert or carol service, in the order presented. All music is designed to work a cappella, but chord symbols are provided to aid accompaniment if desired.

Edited by Don Gillthorpe, with contributed works from Baz Chapman, Sarah Budd, Suzzie Vango, Catherine Beddison, Manvinder Rattan, Katy Lavinia Cooper, Catriona Downie, Mark Jordan, Ula Weber, and Oli Tarney.
