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 thi...

EMILY HOLT CROCKER | Composer/Author/Conductor Welcome to my composer page for ACDA! I'm so sorry we can't connect in person this year, but I thank you for stopping by.  Happy to chat via  email Facebook Twitter In the meantime, I hope you will take this opportunity to explore my most recent compositions and my new sight-reading method: Sound Patterns for Beginning Choirs . (Hint, coming in 2021 Sound Patterns for the Changing Voice ) SOUND PATTERNS FOR THE BEGINNING CHOIR Imagine - learning to sight read while having fun! Singers will grasp concepts quickly while singing “real music” from day one.

Music in the Air Collection for Tenor Bass Chorus If you are looking for a great value, this collection for Middle School Tenor Bass Voices fits the bill. Five songs are artfully arranged with attention given to range, tessitura and part-writing to make learning a breeze. The Tenor part is really more of a cambiata part and the Baritone part is very moderate in terms of range. Young singers 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!

New for Fall 2020 These new pieces will work well for young mixed choirs in middle and high school. The bass clef part(s) are very flexible, so if you have SAB or SATB, these should help your ensemble sound great. Ranges are moderate and there is little if any divisi.  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 SAB and SATB singers.  All are available in print and digital editions also with demo and accompaniment audio downloads. J'entends le Moulin also has Part Predominant tracks available for audio download providing excellent rehearsal tools for in-person or distance learning. Young singers 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!

  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!
