Cantemus Songbook and Octavos Series (1992-2005)
The songbook project Cantemus was created in 1992 to assist choral conductors in finding fresh, accessible, and interesting international repertoire. The songbooks contain collections of medium-to-easy choral music. Most of the music was selected from repertoire performed at international choir festivals and competitions. All four of the Cantemus songbooks, along with CD recordings of the pieces contained in the books, are available from the publisher: Gehrmans Musikförlag. In 2005, a new octavo collection is available under the editing of the IFCM Multicultural and Ethnic Commission, published by earthsongs.
