Description

Throughout the ages, people have wanted to sing in a communal context.

This desire apparently stems from a deeply rooted human instinct.

Consequently, choral performance historically has often been related to human rituals and ceremonies, especially rites of a religious nature. Historical Dictionary of Choral Music, Second Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography.

The dictionary section has more than 1,300 cross-referenced entries on composers, conductors, choral ensembles, choral genres, and choral repertoire.

This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about choral music.
