Paul Chihara Sheet Music

Who it's for

• Chamber musicians and ensemble coaches seeking contemporary classical works
• Church and school choir directors looking for sacred and secular choral repertoire
• Orchestra directors and conductors programming 20th-century American composers

What's inside

• Chamber works for viola, bassoon, and flute with piano accompaniment (Book and Part formats)
• Sacred choral pieces in SATB and SSA/SSAA voicings, A cappella Octavo format
• String quartet and orchestra scores, including Ellington Fantasy arrangement
• Full conductor scores and individual instrumental parts for ensemble performance

Things to consider

Chihara's chamber works (Viola Sonata, Fleeting Shadows) work well for intermediate solo players pairing with a pianist; confirm your choir's voice range and size before ordering octavo editions, as voicings vary between pieces. For orchestral programming, start with the conductor score to assess instrumentation needs, then acquire individual parts once you've committed to the work.
