    The Church Music Association of America is delighted to announce that finishing touches are being put on the next book in our Parish Book of Motets series, this time for 3-part music.

    The collection, edited by Dr. Aaron James, includes:
    - 23 motets from the treasury, including compositions by Lassus, Isaac, Obrecht, Parsons, Palestrina, and many others
    - 5 newly commissioned motets from Frank La Rocca, Christopher Mueller, Mark Nowakowski, Diana Corliss, and Peter Togni
    - Motets appear in BOTH SAB(ar) and ATB editions, lending more flexibility for your choir
    - Keyboard reductions book available

    The book will again be accompanied by an excellent website resource with links to each piece which include a PDF of the score (in the creative commons), recordings of individual parts, all parts together, and muted parts, and text with translation for you to copy into your worship aid.

    We hope that this forthcoming publication fills the need that so many choirs have for music with limited forces.

    We will post again here when we are ready to take orders. We expect to go to print in the next week or so.

    I'm out of it, I guess, but how do you access the journal through the member portal? I'm logged in but can't find it.

    The Guerrero and Palestrina titles are backwards. That is, the primi toni is given for Guerrero on the site, but the score says sexti Toni and vice versa. And the Obrecht score is replaced with the Puer Natus (Looking at ATB only in both cases.)
