For example, music written for a double choir of 8 voices, could be sung by four voices, the second choir part being played on the organ, or by other wind instruments or strings. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Our motivation for this publication is simple. Choir directors are amazed, when their choirs sing pieces from this collection, using a substitute instrument or two to strengthen the voices, to have people from their congregation who sang that piece in College, want to join the choir. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Also, many of these works may be sung with only sopranos, the organ playing the other parts. You have to sing great music to be a great choir. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdoramus Te Christe\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Adoramus Te Christe\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Francesco Gasparini \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Adoramus Te Christe\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Orlando di Lasso \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Adoramus Te Christe\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e William Byrd \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Adoramus Te Christe\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Theodore Dubois \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Ave Maria\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Jacob Arcadelt \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Ave Regina Coelorum\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Guillaume Dufay \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Ave Verum\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e William Byrd \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Ave Verum\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Ave Verum\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Edward Elgar \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Cantate Domino\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Giuseppi Pitoni \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Drop, Drop, Slow Tears\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Orland Gibbons \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e God So Loved The World \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Stainer \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e God So Loved The World\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e John Goss \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Hide Not Thou Thy Face\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Richard Farrant \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e If Ye Love Me\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Thomas Tallis \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Jesu Dulcis Memoria\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Tomás Luis de Victoria \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Jesu!
