In The Singing Irish, Michael Alan Anderson brings to life the rich
history and traditions of the Notre Dame Glee Club. Replete with
nearly three hundred images, the stunning large-format book
examines the early history of the ensemble before 1915, its robust
membership, rehearsal and concert customs, and the contributions of
its conductors through the decades. Anderson interviewed dozens of
Glee Club alumni going back to the early 1940s to narrate the
vibrant story of the group, while assembling a wealth of documents
that detail the activities undertaken—and impressions made—by
this extraordinary musical ensemble. The group’s famous
appearances on the Ed Sullivan Show in the early 1950s marked the
height of the Glee Club’s visibility; however, the ensemble
continues to sell out concerts on national and international tours,
having traveled to nearly every state in the United States and
numerous countries in Europe, Asia, and Central America. Through
its eclectic repertoire and polished singing, the Glee Club has
achieved a lofty status among collegiate choral ensembles in the
United States, beloved by students, members of the Notre Dame
family, and friends and supporters of the university around the
world. Combining the meaningful culture of Notre Dame with the
highest standards of artistic excellence, The Singing Irish makes a
wonderful keepsake for fans and alumni of the Notre Dame Glee Club
as it enters its centennial year.
