The Sacred Collection (The Vocal Library High Voice). Arranged by Richard Walters. For Vocal (High Voice). Vocal Collection. 312 pages. Published by Hal Leonard (HL.740155).

ISBN 0634030728. 9x12 inches.

A huge collection of 70 sacred songs for classical singers, spanning an enormous range of literature, including art songs, traditional songs, 28 classic Burleigh spiritual arrangements (experts on African-American spirituals contend they are for singers of all ethnic heritages), and distinctive concert arrangements of hymns and folksongs by Richard Walters. There are four duets included. This collection will be as useful in the voice studio as in every working singer's repertoire and every church music library.

The sacred collection

great book. I wish there are full performance CD's available for all the music in this book. I am sure it has to be multiple CD's for accompaniment/ with full performance section.
