American Harmony

Containing full musical scores and underlaid, complete verses for 176 pieces of music, 100 illustrations, over 100 pages of biographical information about composers and musical arrangers, and five indices, this is the ultimate reference work on the subject, a book that belongs on the shelf of every serious music library, performer and student. Also included is a CD with recordings of 35 pieces performed by the author's own chorus, not coincidentally called 'American Harmony.' In addition to the music, the author's historical introduction and detailed critical commentary provide context, and the two sewn volumes, contained in a sturdy slipcase, make this edition both singable and portable. Four years in the making, this is among the most outrageously elaborate and ambitious books ever undertaken by this small house, and believe us; that's saying everything.
