Focus: Choral Music in Global Perspective introduces the
little-known traditions and repertoires of the world's choral
diversity, from prison choirs in Thailand and gay and lesbian
choruses of the Western world to community choruses in the Middle
East and youth choirs in the United States. The book weaves
together the stories of diverse individuals and organizations,
examining their music and pedagogical practices while presenting
the author's research on how choral cultures around the world
interact with societies and transform the lives of their members.
Through an engaging series of portraits that pushes beyond the
scope of extant texts and studies, the author explores the dynamic
realm of world choral activity and repertoire. These personal
portraits of musical communities are enriched by sample repertoire
lists, performance details, and research findings that reposition a
once Western phenomenon as a global concept. Focus: Choral Music in
Global Perspective is an accessible, engaging, and provocative
study of one of the world's most ubiquitous and socially
significant forms of music-making.
