I created most of these arrangements while I was in the a cappella group Shere Khan of Princeton University. Most of them are no longer in active use there, so I've decided to release them to the public; I much prefer the idea of my arrangements being used instead of just sitting in a folder somewhere. Use these however you want, no strings attached! If you'd like, send me an email to let me know about your chorus.
2004.12.02 - My arrangement of "Shalom Rav" was performed by the Broadway cast of "Mamma Mia" for the new holiday album "Broadway's Greatest Gifts: Carols for a Cure 2004". Check it out ... it's a neat album, and the proceeds are being used to fund AIDS research.
2003.08.30 - A chorus director in Brazil was kind enough to typeset "Shalom Rav" for me, so now you can listen to it in MIDI, etc., like the other songs.
2003.01.05 - Posted "Shalom Rav", as promised.
2002.12.25 - I've reconfigured my web server to send the Encore files with a more appropriate MIME type, which will prevent them from being corrupted during download in certain browsers.
2002.10.29 - After a four year hiatus, I've finally brought this page back online. Apparently, people are still interested!

I wrote most of these arrangements using a music notation program called Encore, which saved its files in a proprietary format. I haven't used it in many years, and now prefer the very powerful free program called MuseScore. If you happen to have Encore or certain versions of its competitor, Finale, you can open those files for editing, transposing, etc. Otherwise you can print the PDFs and play back the MIDI files to get a feel for how they sound.
