Click here for SA thematic index or scroll below
Click on individual Title for more information, including listening clip and octavo sample.
Because of over lapping themes, a comprehensive thematic list could occupy many times the space of the entire catalogue. Some possible categories are accounted for in the way the catalogue is organized. For example, a concentration of “Christmas music” and “World Music” for mixed voices will be found under SATB CHRISTMAS, and SATB ARRANGEMENTS respectively.
Please contact the composer for specific themes if they are not readily found.
