Carl J. Nygard's choral sheet music spans both sacred and secular repertoire, with a particular strength in SATB arrangements suited to intermediate choirs. His settings of Shakespeare texts, including the popular "Hey, Nonny, Nonny," bring literary sophistication to the octavo format.

Things to consider
Most titles here sit at moderately difficult, making them suitable for high school choirs or adult community groups with some rehearsal time. If your singers are newer to part-singing, "The Love of a Friend" sits at moderate level and could serve as a gentler entry point.
