Choral Music a Norton Historical Anthology
Under one cover we are offered a survey of music for the choral medium from the fourteenth century to the present. This is not a compendium of tired old favorites. It is, rather, a guide to the development of the choral idiom in all its evolutionary complexity. The editor has realized several objectives in selecting pieces for inclusion: to document stylistic development from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century; to illustrate the major categories of choral composition in different periods; and to provide a convenient library of works by major composers in the choral genre in a convenient format.

rating: 4
Robinson's Anthology of Choral Music covers a wide spectrum of repertoire, dating from circa 1300 to the 1970's. The collection is intended to be a performance manual, with material representing the development of Choral Music throughout the ages. The one comment which could be made is that a short overview of each period would have been helpful to those studying the genre. It would also be nice to have a hard cover version of this text, as the soft cover is easily battered-about in performance.
