ADVERTISEMENT | Paid partnership with J. W. Pepper @jwpeppermusic Every choir director’s holiday planning timeline… JANUARY: “This year I’m creating a deeply immersive artistic concept about snow, light, silence, memory and the human condition.” SEPTEMBER: “So… snow?” NOVEMBER: “PLEASE JUST GIVE ME SOMETHING WITH ‘SNOW’ IN THE TITLE.” 😭 We’ve all been there. When the ambitious programming ideas meet the actual calendar, I use J.W. Pepper to narrow things down fast. Editors’ Choice for standout new repertoire Basic Library for tried-and-true pieces Filters for voicing and difficulty and many more ePrint when the concert is suddenly MUCH closer than you remembered And ePrint purchases are still covered by the Pepper Guarantee if the piece turns out not to be right for your choir. So if your holiday repertoire is still somewhere between “grand artistic vision” and “anything with snow”… you’re not too late. 😅 Find your holiday repertoire at J.W. Pepper.
