Shaw/Parker Arrangements


Robert Shaw and Alice Parker are two "household names" in the classical music community. Parker is well-known for her work with American folk music and shape-note tradition pieces. Robert Shaw is famous for just about everything choral that he did. The two paired up numerous times to arrange pieces for various voicings, often with a folk or sacred theme, always with beautiful results.
