A History of the Handel Choir of Baltimore (1935-2013): Music,
Spread Thy Voice Around chronicles the history of one of America's
longstanding volunteer choral organizations, one that has followed
in the footsteps of venerable ensembles such as the Handel and
Haydn Society (Boston), the Bethlehem Bach Choir, and the Handel
Society of Dartmouth College. It begins by considering music in the
city of Baltimore, and establishing the reasons surrounding the
choir's formation. Substantial coverage is given to the influence
of Katharine M. Lucke, one of Baltimore's grandes dames-as a
composer, mover, and shaker-and a vital force in Baltimore's
National Music Week from her position on the faculty of the Peabody
Conservatory of Music. Subsequently the book focuses on the
contributions of each of the ten conductor/music directors, the
vicissitudes of funding a volunteer choir, the choir's
contributions to music education in the greater Baltimore
metropolitan area, and the choir's repertoire. The book contains
extensive appendices describing the choir's repertoire, its
presidents, and its unbroken string of Messiah performances.
Throughout more than seventy-five years, the Handel Choir of
Baltimore has remained true to its original charter as an amateur
choral organization that aspires to the highest standards of
artistic excellence. A History of the Handel Choir of Baltimore is
an invaluable resource to those interested in choral music studies,
the running of an amateur, volunteer choir, and other disciplines
of music studies.
