CMS announces the publication of Source Readings in American Choral Music: Composers' Writings, Interviews, & Reviews compiled and annotated by David P. DeVenney. Appearing as the fifteenth volume in the series Monographs and Bibliographies in American Music, the text represents the first attempt to collect and publish significant documents that illuminate the history of choral music in the United States from colonial times to the post-World War II era. The thirty-one selections -- many reprinted in their entirety -- are enhanced with a chronology of landmark events in this history and by an extensive bibliography of relevant literature.
The book is valuable as a supplementary text for university study, as a reference work, and as an important contribution to the unwritten history of choral music in the United States. Professor DeVenney, a member of the choral faculty of the University of Arizona and a champion of the American repertory in the concert hall, has demonstrated his expertise on this subject in a number of well-received books and articles. Michael J. Budds of the University of Missouri-Columbia served as editor for this project.
