All Singing: The Elise Witt Songbook

58 original songs arranged for solo and community singing

“Elise’s provocative songs ask you to think, to act, to enjoy, to fully engage in life. She invites you to stretch not only your voice, but your expectations and assumptions.”

~ Terry Garthwaite, Joy of Cooking, Natural Rhythms, composer, concert artist

"A beautiful and breathtaking songbook in its variety of wonderful songs, its scope of musical styles and subjects, its accessible and lovely artistic design, and its charming stories about each piece, as well as about Elise's remarkable journey through her musical life. Elise's brilliant artistry shines through these pages!"

~ Joanne Hammil, composer, performer, choral director
