Welcome, friends!

New choral music for Spring!

Since I retired from Hal Leonard, I have moved to Texas and have been spending most of my creative time composing and arranging for a variety of choral styles, voicings and genres. I'm happy to present three new works for 2020 that are in stock and ready to sing! (More to be shared in future posts.)

Please let me know if you have questions or if you are looking for specific suggestions for your group. (I'm working on a new website, but it takes TIME!)

The easiest way to browse all my titles is the Hal Leonard website: Click here

WHO IS THERE LIKE ME - SSAB, 2-Part

Written for the 25th anniversary of the Milwaukee Children's Choir, a group I founded in 1994 and conducted until 2009. The text, based off of an old Winnebago saying, reminds us of the unique individuality and promise that each child carries. Easily-learned, with piano and percussion. The SSAB is great for mixed choirs in middle and high school, or combined choirs of various levels. The 2-Part works great for elementary/middle school treble.

CANTATE! - TB, 2-Part

Joyous Latin phrasing and pitch perfect vocal lines make this an instant “go-to” in your choral catalog! Excellent and accessible for middle school contest and festival.

J'ENTENDS LE MOULIN - SA(T)B, 2-Part

I've revoiced one of my most popular folk settings for mixed choir. This works very well for middle school up through small high schools. Hear the steady ticka-tacka of the mill wheel in this brisk setting of a French Canadian folksong.

Emily Crocker - New Choral Music for 2024

Image
Thank you for visiting this page. In terms of composing and arranging, I’ve had an interesting and rewarding year. Perhaps I have finally acclimated to this stage of life, post-9-to-5 and post choir directing, or maybe I’ve just allowed myself to explore what was always waiting for me. My WHAT'S NEW  page lists everything that is new so feel free to poke about there, but I thought I would put down some thoughts regarding the new directions you may see among these new releases. HAL LEONARD After spending 28 years at the Mother Ship in Milwaukee, I wanted to start with my new Hal Leonard titles. We’re all super excited that Hal Leonard  and Musescore  have joined together for even more distribution opportunities. If you are a Musescore subscriber (and you should be), you’ll already find these titles published there officially and legally for downloading, printing and sharing. These are also available through your favorite traditional retailers as well.  Au Pas, Camarad...

Music for Tenor Bass Choirs

Image
  I'm pleased to introduce a couple of pieces for Tenor Bass ensembles - one is for changing voice choirs at the middle school level and the other is for high school groups.  I know there are lots of different paths for instruction in the fall of 2020, but whether you are physically together and socially distant or if you are working in a virtual environment, I hope you will consider these pieces for TB and TBB singers.  Both selections are available in print and digital editions also with demo and accompaniment audio downloads. Cantate! also has Part Predominant tracks available for audio download providing excellent rehearsal tools for in-person or distance learning. Young men like to be challenged and I hope these pieces will fit their voices and provide a creative challenge that will enliven the learning going on in your classrooms! If you have questions, you can contact me via comments below. Caliban's Dream - for TBB and piano I'm happy to announce that this piece w...

Hope you like! 😉 (TB listed first, scroll down for treble) Tenor Bass - Grade 1  Cantate! - TB and piano (with opt.
