This book is an auto-ethnographic account of the development of a
charismatic community choir leader. It brings together management
literature and a survey of the community choir scene with the
development of community choir leadership. It provides a useful
introduction to the sustaining of community choirs, including the
use of English folksong material in this context. Some useful
arrangements of folk songs are included. Community singing events
are described with helpful advice on setting up and managing these.
It presents a useful model of the range of skills necessary for
aspiring community choir leaders. This is linked with the formation
of a community that contains spiritual elements; this is theorized
in relation to the role of the parish church in communal singing.
It also discusses the two aesthetics of choral singing and the
relationship between oral and literate traditions. The book arises
from the engagement of the University of Winchester in partnership
with the local community, which is theorized.
