Choir book

A choir book is a type of musical manuscript or printed book specifically designed for choral music. It contains the musical scores and lyrics for songs sung by a choir during religious services or concerts. Typically bound for easy handling, a choir book may include vocal parts for different singers, such as sopranos, altos, tenors, and basses. Historically, these books were hand-copied or printed to guide choir members in performances, ensuring they had the correct music and words to sing together in harmony. They play a vital role in preserving and sharing choral repertoire throughout history.
