New Music from Diverse Voices!

This page is organized first by repertoire for specific voice types (soprano, bass, etc.). Then comes repertoire for more general voice type (high, medium, low). Repertoire where voice type was not specified is placed in the "medium" category.

All works require piano accompaniment unless otherwise specified.

If a song is highlighted, it means that the current catalog record lists a different voice type. This will be corrected once the score is fully cataloged.
