The Evoking Sound Choral Series presents high quality editions for accomplished choirs and includes both sacred and secular choral music. The series represents new editions of standard repertoire as well as newly composed pieces. Each piece is edited by Dr. Jordan with singers in mind and includes performance practice suggestions. It is our goal that the Evoking Sound Choral Series will not only provide excellent choral literature for church and performance use, but also provide accessible literature to choirs that will help to enhance their vocal technique.

Historical Music Series

GIA Historical Music Series

Dennis Shrock, Editor
 

The GIA Historical Music Series, edited by Dennis Shrock, presents repertoire suitable for performance by public school, college and university, church, and community ensembles, with the purpose of making available to today's conductors lesser-known and previously difficult-to-procure historical masterpieces. The music, drawn from the Renaissance through the Romantic eras, is in performance editions based on the most current and rigorous scholarly research. The musical scores reflect original intent of notation, with all editorial markings and emendations clearly identified as such. In addition, preface material accompanying the music contains literal translations of foreign language texts and information regarding the lives of the composers, genres, and relevant performance practices.
