Choral Arts Ensemble/Honors Choir of SE Minnesota Music Library
This combined music library includes over 2,000 pieces! We have a wide variety of music appropriate for choirs with elementary school through college and semi-professional adult singers. There is something for almost any group! Voicings range from SA, SSA, SAT/B to multi-divisi SATB. You will find old favorites and new releases. Plus, over 100 commissioned pieces.
We are happy to share any piece not in current use by one of our choirs, and you can review the entire library online.
The catalog software is a Beta version, so please excuse a few glitches - we are working to iron those out and add additional search functionality.

Choral Arts has a long history of commissioning new choral works. In 2025 we added two new pieces to our library of almost 80 commissions.
