The Oxford Book of Flexible Choral Songs is the perfect resource for secular choirs and singing groups who like the flexibility to perform songs in a range of combinations from unison to SATB. Each piece may be performed by a mixed choir, but is also presented with flexible scoring options, clearly explained throughout, enabling performance by various combinations of singers, including upper voices or men's voices alone. As well as new arrangements of existing repertoire, the collection also features newly commissioned original works, specially written for flexible forces. This very finely produced volume ought to form a staple in the libraries and repertoires of all self-respecting choirs and choral societies. Indeed, such is the quality of the wide-ranging selection, the practicalities of the editing and aids to performance, and the presentation throughout that one can but agree with the publisher's claim that the volume offers the perfect resource for secular choirs and singing groups, providing the flexibility to perform songs in a range of combinations from unison to SATB . . . All-in-all, this is a terrific volume that all choir-masters (and their librarians) should acquire without delay.
