This guide, a truly comprehensive volume on the choral music of the last century, covers the spectacular range of music for vocal ensembles, including secular, sacred, and folk- and jazz-influenced works from all over the world. This personal yet all-encompassing survey ranges from the early 19th century, when Elgar and Saint-Saëns were still writing their final works, to the recent past, covering composers Tan Dun, Paul McCartney, Morten Lauridsen, Arvo Pärt and others who have explored new directions for this popular art form. The book includes European and American idioms as well as music from Africa and the Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Pacific Rim. This book is essential to every choral conductor and dedicated members of choirs, choral societies, and choruses, both professional and amateur.(This information is taken from the publisher's website.) Paperback, 389 pp. Note: Due to the size and weight of this item, an additional $2.50 S&H charge will be added.
