Great Sacred Choruses is a selection of choruses from the great cantata and motet canon, which display how Johann Sebastian Bach's wonderful legacy of religious music is celebrated. It is arranged for a mixed voices (SATB) choir by Denis McCaldin. It offers an accessible introduction to the diversity of the composer's choral works, ranging from the well-known 'Jesu, joy of man's desiring' to the rarely heard chaconne 'Meine Tage in den Leiden'. 

The Choral Programme Series is a well-established programming tool for many choirs as it offers a wealth of fresh material from many eras and in many styles. Also offering great value for money as each volume in the series provides up to forty minutes of music.
