Single descants are common, double descants are rare. 'Descants for Choirs' demonstrates how double descants yield richer textures and produce brighter, more resonant sonorities, thereby enhancing their effectivness. These attractive and imaginative arrangements are designed for choirs accustomed to singing unaccompanied; choirs, moreover, whose sopranos can readily and confidently divide into separate cantoris and decani parts.
