Comprising 11 chapters written by Dr. Shrock's colleagues and former students, now scholars in their own right, this book is filled with essays on topics ranging from the personal and pedagogical to building a music ministry, discussion of performance practices, analysis of specific works, and the choral output of specific composers. There is no better way to honor such an influential scholar and conductor than by contributing practical and scholarly grist for the mill of choral music and music education.
