Zusammenfassung
A History of Western Choral Music explores the various genres, key composers, and influential works essential to the development of the western choral tradition. Volume I offers a thorough exploration of the music of the Renaissance and Baroque eras and its aesthetic influence on the beginnings of the Classical and Romantic eras. An unprecedented survey for courses in choral literature, these two volumes offer discussion of classic, iconic works and lessons from the author's unique, expert perspective.
