The Belwin Festival Series collects 34 choral octavos spanning sacred, secular, and multicultural repertoire for worship, concert, and festival programming. You'll find accessible arrangements of masterworks alongside original compositions from respected choral writers like Douglas E. Wagner and Vijay Singh. Popular titles include Undine S. Moore's rich a cappella setting of "Daniel, Daniel, Servant of the Lord" and Audrey Snyder's tuneful "Autumn Vesper," which work equally well for intermediate choirs preparing for performance. Most pieces sit at moderate difficulty, making this series practical for high school and community choirs seeking quality festival material. Available in printed octavos and digital PDF downloads.

Wagner and Vijay Singh each contribute multiple titles here, so audition their works together if you find one arrangement that suits your program.
