The Choral Experience: Literature, Materials, and Methods

Rating:
Summary: All you can (and should) learn from reading a book
Review: It won't make you a good choral conductor or teacher just by reading books. However, a solid groundwork is essential. This one book provides all the necessities, such as history, role & responsibility, practice technique, basic musicianship and style guide for different repertoires.

The authors treat the subjects in a no-nonsense way. For example, they didn't give you a long list of events on choral history, rather they blended them into the influencial parties and thus provide you insights on how the history evolved.

So if you'd read only one book in choral literature, this is the one!
