New Excelcia Music Publishing Choral Release Offers Music in a Variety of Voicings and Styles

Excelcia Music Publishing announces the release of their 2026-2027 Choral Music catalog, with over 70 new arrangements and original compositions for school, church, and community choral ensembles. With a full range of voicings and styles, the release includes songs for seasonal, holiday, festival, and celebratory concerts, as well as free online resources, including live professional recordings, preview scores, ScoreVideos, and digital program notes.

Within the catalog, the Cantabile Series, introduced in 2025 and geared toward younger voices and developing choirs, has expanded by 21 new arrangements and original works. Continuing to grow the Derric Johnson Choral Series, the publisher has released nine new arrangements of popular folk songs, hymns, and carols for SATB Voices A Cappella, as well as a new accompanied edition of O Come, All Ye Faithful. The Voctave Christmas Choral Series adds two new arrangements this year: Carol Medley for SATB Voices A Cappella, and How Great Our Joy for SATB Voices and Piano. The catalog also includes new voicings of popular previously-released works, and brand new compositions and arrangements by both new and well-known voices.

“This year, the Excelcia Music Publishing Choral music catalog is designed with the full concert experience in mind,” says Jamey Ray, Choral Editor. “Rather than centering on a single theme, this collection reflects the variety that directors need to build thoughtful, engaging concert programs. Offering a wide range of voicings and styles, the catalog contains expressive, text-driven works, as well as lighter selections to bring energy and contrast. Each piece stands on its own, while also fitting naturally alongside others, making it easier to create performances that feel cohesive and compelling. I’m especially excited about how these selections give directors and choirs the flexibility to program with intention, while keeping singers and audiences fully engaged.”

Excelcia Music Publishing’s 2026-2027 Choral Music catalog features works by composers and arrangers Christopher Alexander, Jimmy Baas, Kara Stacy Bedwell, Lisa Benincasa, Shayla L. Blake, R. Kevin Boesinger, Tripp Carter, Karen Crane, Patti Drennan, John Florio, Glenda E. Franklin, Greg Gilpin, Derric Johnson, Jennifer Klein, Brandon Martell, Tracy Craig McKibben, Blake R. Mitchell, Angela Moorman-Davis, Patricia Mock, Kim Noller, Steve Parsons, Jamey Ray, Russell Robinson, John Maclane Schirard, Connor Warren Smith, Bruce W. Tippette, and Marshall Webb.
