Important note about printing these PDF files
All of the scores here have been formatted to optimize printing on US Letter paper as well as metric A4 paper.
This is not a perfect solution, but it is better than making two versions of every file.
The formatting assumes back-to-back printing, and allows for a wider margin on the left-hand side of the page
so that scores can be hole-punched without that process impinging on the material.
When printing for either paper size mentioned above, please be careful to select "Actual Size" (or whatever
similar concept your printer identifies). This should yield consistently respectable results.
Following is a list of the 42 professionally-produced Compact Disc/Album recordings published by William Kempster.
(Four additional albums - featuring the Choral Music of Christopher Kies - are also available: click on the "Contemporary" tab.)
Most of these albums are available via the various streaming services, and the links in blue will take you
either directly to the recording of that track or - in some cases - to the album's page.
Where a published recording is not available, a complete mp3 recording of a live performance conducted by William Kempster is provided.
