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 29 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)
The mp3 audio files on this site - available for complete free download - are mainly sourced from these.
All of these recordings are available at full audio resolution (44.1khz/16-bit at least) on request.
Some of these albums are available via the various streaming services, and where that is the case, the links will take you
either directly to the recording of that track or - in some cases - to the album's page.
These streaming audio files are mostly FLAC (compressed 44.1khz/16-bit).
