Music Library

West Gippsland Chorale has an extensive library of music which it has accumulated since the mid 1980's. Music ranges from early madrigal to contemporary and most is arranged for 4 or more parts (SATB). All items in the library are original commercial copies or approved official photocopies. More details on the contents of some of the collected works are listed below (where there is a link in the title).

While the Chorale uses much of its library for its regular concert program, some items in the library may be available for hire to community choirs in the region. The terms and conditions of the hire (including rate and period that the music would be available), would be negotiated on a case by case basis.

Contact us if you would like more information on the hire of music: either by phone (tel 5623 5650) or email at  email address
