* denotes a song either from the public domain or owned by me. This means it can be bought directly from me simply by getting in touch at jake@jakealexander.org. On Sheet Music Plus, scores generally cost around £14 or 19 USD (for a minimum of 10 copies) – I tend to charge £10, 14 USD, or whatever your choir can afford, for the songs that have a *.  

** denotes a video that either has a studio recording or a real performance associated with it. Again, there are many more of these in the folk section than elsewhere. You can still listen to songs that don’t have a ** by clicking on the video links, but the audio consists of a demo recording played by a computer.

Just to note: sometimes I have different versions of arrangements of the same song (e.g. an SSA version and an SAT version). However, due to time constraints, I’ve often only created one real recording. Where this occurs, assuming the versions are substantially the same, I have used the same real recording across all of them. I add this point simply to allay any confusion when, occasionally, for example, you might hear female voices singing along to a TTB score – they are basically singing the same arrangement but the music has undergone a couple of tweaks.
