Sacred Classics + Cd - High Voice

The Album Of Sacred Songs was first published in 1918 as part of the ever-popular Schirmer's Library Of Musical Classics. Since then it has been re-released and re-printed many times but the original and much-loved collection of songs it contains has remained the same. Hidden within its 100+ pages are 22 sacred works by Bizet Gounod Hiller Mendelssohn Saint-Saens and many others all arranged for High Voice and Piano. This is a volume that will be treasured and re-used many times.
