The Little Catholic Choirbook 1

A Call to Transform Your Parish's Musical Life

Imagine a parish where the soaring sounds of sacred music bring the community together-a place where every

note rekindles the joy of worship. As a dedicated leader in your community, you know that great music has the

power to inspire, connect, and transform lives. Yet, starting or revitalizing a Catholic choir can seem daunting.

Introducing Your Essential Resource:

The Little Catholic Choirbook 1 is more than just a collection of choir anthems; it's a practical, easy-to-use guide

designed specifically for you. Born from over a decade of experience with The Catholic Choirbook Anthology-

cherished by Catholic choirs worldwide-this new revised version of the Anthology is now in two books, ad-

dresses the unique challenges you face today.

Your Plan for Success:

Step-by-Step Guidance:

Begin your choir journey with our detailed guide, perfect even if you have just one willing singer.

Accessible Music:

Enjoy a curated selection of easier music, arranged to accommodate beginners and adaptable for solo or accompanied performances.

Cost-Effective and Convenient:

With its reduced weight (one-third our original Catholic Choirbook Anthology from 2011) and lower price this book ensures that every choir member can have their own copy, or that you can gift a complete set to your entire choir-past, present, and future.

Why It Matters:

You might worry that no one will step forward to sing at first. But even if your choir starts small, these familiar

pieces played on your organ or keyboard alone can awaken a latent passion for sacred choral music. As parishioners

hear these melodies, they will be inspired to reconnect with the choir and, ultimately, with one another.

Your Role as the Hero:

Every transformative journey begins with you-ready to lead with passion and vision. With this guide in hand, you hold the key to reviving the spirit of sacred music in your parish. Now is your opportunity to invite others to join a musical mission that will resonate for generations.

Let The Little Catholic Choirbook 1 be your trusted partner in transforming your parish into a vibrant community united by the power of music.
