| Abstract | This book offers students a history of choral music that is as rich and fascinating as the genre itself. Emphasizing those works that represent historical or stylistic turning points, the book begins several centuries before the invention of the genre and takes students all the way into the twentieth century. The author's descriptive discussions mix history and analysis with explication of musical structures, text sources and treatments, and kinds of texture. The text offers a useful glossary, bibliography, and list of music sources--as well as appendices that provide several principal types of sacred texts (including Requiem Mass, Te Deum, and Magnificat) for quick reference. |
| Bibliography note | Includes bibliography (pages 230-232) and index. |
