Things to consider

Start with the most popular Grade 2 and 2.5 titles like Barocca and Dove's Vagary if you're new to Atwell's style; they're approachable without sacrificing musical interest. If you're purchasing for a full ensemble, the score and parts bundles save you from buying separately. Check the grade level carefully: Grade 3 and above works introduce more rhythmic and harmonic complexity suited to established programs.
