This survey of choral literature, written by American composers
from 1760 through the 1990s, examines nearly 3,000 pieces of choral
music written by over 300 composers. Along with a descriptive
analysis, the literature is placed within a historical perspective.
Familiar and less well-known composers and their music are
examined. The study seeks to remedy the superficial treatment
choral music is often given in standard textbooks on American music
and to acknowledge and expose the varied richness of the
literature.
Choral conductors and musicologists will appreciate the vast
repertory of choral music literature examined. Organized
chronologically, this study uniquely traces the development of
choral music literature throughout the centuries. A select
bibliography provides a useful guide for further research.
