Description
Church musicians have the great honor and duty to proclaim Jesus Christ! Music of varying difficulties and forms is needed for the liturgical choir. In this First Salpidzo Choir Book one will find such music for the Church Year: some selections are easier than others; some are longer than others. All are faithful expositions of the faith via one of God’s greatest gifts – music! May these settings be of service in the liturgical choir’s proclamation of God’s Word and the singing of His praise!
