Welcome to HowardHelvey.com, a continually-developing website that hopefully will provide assistance in exploring some of my music. A primary purpose of the site is to consolidate in one place a listing of the various musical works drawn from the many publishing companies with whom I have had the pleasure of collaborating since 1993. When at all possible, for your review are full-length performance recordings (over 200 of them) and several archived broadcast videos, many of which are not featured elsewhere on any publisher or distributor websites. While this site is principally informative (no orders/sales), in most cases a direct link is provided to each work's specific publisher webpage if additional information is desired.

Explore and listen to a few new and featured choral works (for more information, click on the publisher name):
