In this collection of Secular Music for Voices both choral director and singer will find celebrated a rich selection of texts, often from unusual sources. Alongside poems from Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass there is prose and poetry from visual artists Josef Albers, Bridget Riley and sculptor Barbara Hepworth, aphorisms from Internet guru Esther Dyson, meditations on digital aesthetics from Professor Sean Cubitt, and even an unofficial guide to the Pokèmon phenomenon!

Here you can download a guide to Nigel Morgan's most recent Secular Music for voices. The guide has been written for choral directors, singers, teachers and students to give an overview to the unique opportunities that these scores offer in a wide range of performance situations.
