Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Chorus directors are always on the look-out for approachable show-stopping concert pieces guaranteed to evoke cries of 'Encore!'. In this anthology for mixed voices are 24 such numbers ranging in character from classic, sentimental leave-taking items, through humorous or quirky pieces, to exciting fast-moving numbers that are sure to delight singers and audiences alike. There's an excellent mix of unaccompanied items (all with piano reductions) and accompanied pieces.

Secular choruses, for mixed chorus (SATB) with or without keyboard accompaniment.
