I don't know if I'm in the right place for this sort of question, but I thought it might be worth a try. I'm looking for a selection of folk songs from around the world, preferably compiled into one book and arranged for SATB.

Is anyone able to tell me if such a thing exists and if so where I might locate it?

This may not be the site for SATB arrangements, but try searching for the web sites of West Music Co or J.W. Pepper- both have great selections of choral music; West specializes in world music, and Pepper has hundreds of choral pieces. Good luck!

The two sights mentioned above are my favorite, especially Peppers, Music in Motion # 1-800-445-0649 is starting to carry more of this also. bet

Hi - You might like a songbook by Norman Luboff and Win Stracke called International Book of Folk Songs. Amazon says you have to wait 4-6 weeks to get it, which means it may be out of print. Barnes & Noble has it available used at huge prices, so I guess it IS out of print. Nice book, though.
