Singing City Songbook
In celebration of its 75th anniversary, Singing City has commissioned 27 composers to write short works to create the Singing City Songbook. This compilation is intended for community singing everywhere—its themes echo the human experience, with messages of unity, hope, love, and the ties that bind.

The Songbook is available as a downloadable PDF through our online store.
