Teaching Music through Performance in Choir Volume 1
 A
breakthrough in choral teaching...
By Frank Abrahams, Anton E. Armstrong, Joseph Flummerfelt, Graeme Morton, and
Weston H. Noble
Compiled and edited by Heather J. Buchanan and Matthew W. Mehaffey
Extended analysis by Bruce Chamberlain and Anthony Reeves
This book is an ideal tool for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the
preeminent music composed for choir.
This volume establishes a new system for grading the difficulty of choral repertoire
and contains nuts-and-bolts analyses of more than 100 of the most significant
works for choir ever composed. Repertoire Resource Guides include information
on the composer and composition, historical background, technical requirements,
stylistic considerations, musical elements, suggestions for additional listening,
and a guide to selected references. Also included is an in-depth study of Gabriel
Fauré's Requiem completed by Bruce Chamberlain, Anthony Reeves, and
Matthew W. Mehaffey. This portion includes an extended history of the work,
analysis charts, and rehearsal strategies for both choir and orchestra.
A major addition to the choral field!
