Imogen Holst, 1907-84, was a much-loved source of inspiration for
countless musicians and students who encountered her over the years
of her involvement with the Dartington Summer School of Music and
the Aldeburgh Festival. This book conveys her infectious enthusiasm
and insight as a choral conductor. Here she sets out, clearly and
concisely, a wealth of practical information on the physical
business of conducting which will be of particular value to the
amateur conductor. She deals with the forming and training of a
choir, the presentation and rehearsal of the music, and how to
approach public performances and competitions. Her final chapter
gives advice on the rehearsal of specific choruses by Purcell,
Handel, and Britten. Originally published in 1973, this edition has
been corrected and updated by Lowinger Maddison, Archivist for the
Holst Foundation.
