Emily Crocker 2-Part Classics!


New 2-Part Recordings now available

I recently put together my website – it’s a work in progress! – and I’m happy to take this opportunity to reintroduce a few classic 2-Part titles. All of these works continue to be popular, however, I didn’t have full demo recordings, as they dated from the days when the publisher only recorded excerpts of the pieces, or the recordings were on analog master tapes that have been lost to the ages. 

So, I worked with my friends at Aireborn Studios in Indiana to create these beautiful demos. All the songs are available either in print, e-print or both, through the publisher or retailer. If you are performing any of these pieces, the recordings have not been previously available so feel free to use them with your choirs and enjoy! 

Adoramus Te 

2-Part Choral and Piano

This joyful festival anthem in Emily Crocker's highly-regarded concert festival series is uplifting, accessible and extremely well-crafted for choirs of all ages. In this contemporary setting, the traditional Latin is combined with an English hymn text.

Music for Tenor Bass Choirs

  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 was
