. . . the Oxford Solo Songs: Sacre anthology offers songs that would work as well for a choir singing in unison. It includes unison versions of anthems such as Rutter's The Lord bless you and keep you and Gaelic Blessing, as well as Chilcott's Irish Blessing and Be thou my vision and pieces by Andrew Gant, Alan Bullard, Jonathan Willcocks, Simon Lole, Mack Wilberg and Lionel Bourne. . . an accompanying CD is supplied, this time with backing tracks available on either piano or organ. It is certain to be popular with solo singers who regularly sing at weddings or funerals and would also be a good resource for unison choirs and treble sections.
