As stated every choir participating will receive two items of each song, and the items of music can be ordered and purchased through Dinah Pye, who has taken over from Swales Music. Please if any choir has a copy of the above items in their music files, please make sure it is the correct Arranger and Composer, otherwise this is where confusion arises at rehearsals. You must have the same Arranger and Composer as the copies sent to you.
