Enjoyable for Adult Sight-Singing Practice
Learning these Bach chorales has been so rewarding! As an adult choir member, I love having 31 sacred pieces for personal practice. While challenging, especially for sight-reading, working through these Baroque classics helps me sound more polished and improve my vocal reading skills at my own pace. It's a fantastic way to enjoy the beautiful music of Bach and relax with a rewarding challenge.

Solid & Reliable Chorale Collection
This Hal Leonard collection of Bach chorales is a solid, go-to resource for church or classical gigs. The 4-part SATB arrangements are authentic and clearly presented. No separate chord symbols are typically needed for this repertoire, making the vocal lines easy to follow for quick study. With 88 pages, page turns are manageable. An essential, standard volume for any professional choral singer or conductor.

Excellent for Voice-Leading Instruction
For vocal coaches, this collection is a fundamental teaching tool. The 31 Bach chorales are superb for illustrating impeccable voice-leading and harmonic structure within a 4-part SATB texture. They inherently support singers in developing independent part-singing and understanding ensemble balance. The clear presentation of each vocal line is indispensable for breaking down complex harmonies and refining vocal technique and musicality.

Invaluable for Choral Education
As a choral director, this collection is invaluable. John Leavitt's editing and pedagogical suggestions make these Bach chorales perfect for developing sight-singing and understanding voice leading. The clear, standard octavo layout supports focused rehearsal. While the difficulty requires fairly competent readers, it's a challenging but highly rewarding resource for intermediate and advanced students to build musical literacy.

31 Bach Chorales for Sight singing
My students have enjoyed singing through some of these pieces. Singers need to be fairly competent readers. Not for the faint-hearted. Wonderful to have in my library.
