Vocal Works

What's New?

In the 14 years since this site was launched, there have been many changes, mostly announced on the home page.  But many users of this site don't come through the front door, so this page will document the most significant changes and additions, as they are introduced.

Latest contributing soloist:  Gwen Eagleton (added 5/11/18)

It's quite a thrill to welcome 4 contributions by Mother Church Co-soloist, Gwen Eagleton.


Music of Karla Carey (added 10/3/17)

Through an arrangement with Louise Maynard (Cleveland), Vocal Works is now able to supply the music of Karla Carey.


Major Update to Sheet Music Page (added 9/16/17)

Culminating many weeks of research, we have now identified sources for sheet music for 80% of the music in the Solo Bank.  Besides currently active publishers and distributors, we have noted the in-print and out-of-print collections used to make many of the Solo Bank recordings.  Sadly, that remaining 20% of the music can't be obtained legally, except through sale or gift of original copies.  But we're working on tracking down all those unknown rights holders.


Public Domain Music Available from Vocal Works (added 9/16/17)

Eight-eight of the recordings in the Solo Bank are of music published before 1924, and consequently in the public domain.  We are now providing copies of this music, sent as PDF documents via e-mail.  For more information, including a list of the songs and their full lyrics, visit our new Sheet Music Page.  (Click on the button at the left.)


Request for donated music (updated 6/12/17)

There are many more solos that should be added to the Solo Bank, but how to get them?  We have been inviting churches and individuals who have solo music they can no longer use to donate the music to us, so that we can add it to our library and eventually record it (or at least most of it).  For the past two years we have run a classified ad in The Christian Science Monitor (print version, last issue of the month) asking for donations (we'll pay the shipping charges).  Maybe you have music you can donate to Vocal Works!  Here is the page on this site that Monitor readers are directed to:  www.vocal-works.com/donate.  The ad will run indefinitely.


Over 1200 solos in the Solo Bank (updated 3/3/17)

I didn't even notice when it happened, but sometime in the past few months, we passed the 1200 mark in the Solo Bank.  As of this date there are 1226 solo recordings.  On to the next thousand!
