Description:
This volume is comprised of eleven chapters written by Dr. Shrock’s colleagues and former students—all admirers and beneficiaries of his teaching, artistry, and scholarship in the field of choral music. The eleven contributors, now scholars in their own right, have generously contributed essays on topics ranging from the personal and pedagogical to building a music ministry, discussion of performance practices, analysis of specific works, and the choral output of specific composers. Their insights are useful to anyone in the field of music education.
There is no better way to honor such an influential scholar and conductor as Dennis Shrock than by contributing practical and scholarly grist for the mill of choral music and music education.
With contributions by: Vance Acker • D. Jason Bishop • Bartlett R. Evans • Gregory Gentry • Jonathan Hatley • Angela Kasper • Bruce Mayhall Rastrelli • James D. Moyer • Jason Paulk • Philemon Theodorou • Donald Trott
