Choral music is now undoubtedly the foremost genre of participatory
music making, with more people singing in choirs than ever before.
Written by a team of leading international practitioners and
scholars, this Companion addresses the history of choral music, its
emergence and growth worldwide and its professional practice. The
volume sets out a historical survey of the genre and follows with a
kaleidoscopic bird's eye view of choral music from all over the
world. Chapters vividly portray the emergence and growth of choral
music from its Quranic antecedents in West and Central Asia to the
baroque churches of Latin America, representing its global
diversity. Uniquely, the book includes a pedagogical section where
several leading choral musicians write about the voice and the
inner workings of a choir and give their professional insights into
choral practice. This Companion will appeal to choral scholars,
directors and performers alike.
