Böcker av Robert J. Summer

Presents a series of discussions about sixteen choral masterworks, facilitating conductors who perform these works and wish to know them. This work examines compositions such as Bach's "Mass in B Minor", Mahler's "8th Symphony", and more, in terms of textual symbolism, musical structure, and identification of endearing traits of each work.

Renaissance Music for the Choral Conductor is the ideal textbook for choral literature and choral conducting classes on the undergraduate and graduate levels. It can serve as a reference for anyone who wishes to program and explore music from this period in greater depth, including church musicians and conductors of professional ensembles. The book concludes with a bibliography, glossary, and selected discography.
