TRADITION&

INNOVATION

Carl Fischer has a proud reputation for publishing classic

traditional choral music standards that have inspired,

educated and thrilled singers, choirs, congregations and

audiences for years. The tradition continues in our choral

music series as we present new and exciting works

designed to meet the understanding, abilities and tastes of

worshipers and performers today.

The styles, texts, subjects and musical elements of each

piece have been carefully weighed and the music, edited,

arranged and written to meet a wide range of worship

styles and performance situations. Writers for Carl Fischer

are among the most outstanding and respected in this field

of music. The standard of musical excellence we present in

each choral work is designed to meet the challenges faced

by professional directors all over the world who wish to

offer quality repertoire.

We accept the challenge of providing choral groups

everywhere the music that fits their needs, thrills the soul

and heightens the skills of every singer who performs a

Carl Fischer choral work. Building on our past reputation,

we continue to grow in offering variety and accessible

music for church, school and professional choirs.
