Since its inception in 2014, the mission of Sing! has been to publish the very best choral works, each with age-appropriate texts, good voice leading and part writing, and creative yet supportive accompaniments. Our Sing! line presents choral works with styles and voicings to suit elementary, middle, junior and high school choirs.
“My utmost desire and goal is to offer you high-quality publications that are designed to spark creativity, enhance joyful music-making, and engage artistry in your choral program.” – Sing! Editor, Victor C. Johnson
About the Editor
Victor C. Johnson, the editor of Sing!, has been involved in music in one fashion or another for most of his life. As a composer, Victor published his first piece in 1994 and since then has composed over 200 octavos while winning numerous composition contests and ASCAP Awards along the way.
Victor is also an experienced music teacher. From 2001-2018 he was a choral music educator at the Fort Worth Academy of Fine Arts. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg for him. Additionally, he's a talented editor, music and worship arts director, children’s handbell director, musician, conductor, and mentor. Victor took over as editor of Sing!, a line that was launched five years ago to expand Choristers Guild into the world of school and festival music, in May of 2019. Victor is a native of Dallas and attended University of Texas at Arlington where he majored in Music Education (Choral) with a concentration in organ.
