The Super 15 Anthems

Each year at Creator Magazine we highlight an Honored 10 set of anthems that appeared in the previous year’s Select 20 Anthems. We believe these compositions represent the best of the choral publications released in the previous year, setting them slightly ahead of other excellent anthems introduced during the year. In 1998, we decided to present a “greatest hits” list. The Super 15 was our selection from the best of all the Honored 10 listings to that point. This does not mean these are the best 15 titles ever printed, but they are our “best of the best.” In the list below, the dates indicate the issue in which the anthem was reviewed. For obvious reasons, we think these anthems should be in the choral libraries of every church.
