For example, the song Yesterday, written by Paul McCartney and John Lennon, was originally written for guitar and vocals. If one wants to make an arrangement of this work for a show choir, one must add in the various vocals, the instruments needed for accompaniment, and the parts for those various instruments. Thus, a custom arrangement license is needed and the permission of the publisher or rights’ holder is required to make this derivative work.

This article discusses the various types of licenses and permissions needed to be compliant with copyright law, specifically geared toward show choirs. Information like this is important to know as a choir director so that you can ensure that the music you are performing isn't infringing on any laws.

This is an excellent list by esteemed conductor Karen Bruno that showcases several pieces that are great for treble choirs. The best part of the list is that it doesn't showcase the same tried-and-true standards, but rather she goes beyond the typical scope and brings in works that are not so common. It's a great resource for programming!

This blog is a critique of the common "everyone gets a trophy" system of musical competitions that is pervasive in today's arts culture.
