Choral Music in the 19th Century

A scholarly and broad-ranging treatise on more than a century of choral literature, this comprehensive study is the most complete work in one volume on the choral art of the 19th century.  Beginning with Haydn and moving through the great European masters to Dvorak and Mahler, Strimple reviews much of the most beloved music and musicians during the century as well as many lesser-known but important composers.  The final group of appendices lists the repertoire discussed within the book, and simultaneously provides a banquet of literature for any choral singer or music lover.  Enhanced with musical examples, contemporary letters, drawings and photos, this is an indispensable resource for choral educators and their students.
