Survey of Choral Music

In this brief text, Homer Ulrich offers students a history of choral music that is as rich and fascinating as the genre itself. Emphasizing those works that represent historical or stylistic turning points, A SURVEY OF CHORAL MUSIC begins several centuries before the invention of the genre and takes students all the way into the twentieth century. Ulrich's descriptive discussions mix history and analysis with explication of musical structures, text sources and treatments, and kinds of texture. The text offers a useful glossary, bibliography, and list of music sources--as well as appendices that provide several principal types of sacred texts (including Requiem Mass, Te Deum, and Magnificat) for quick reference.

In acest scurt text, Homer Ulrich ofera studentilor o istorie a muzicii corale la fel de bogata si fascinanta ca si genul in sine. Subliniind acele lucrari care reprezinta momente de cotitura istorice sau stilistice, O SONDAGA DE MUZICA CORALA incepe cu cateva secole inainte de inventarea genului si ii duce pe studenti pana in secolul al XX-lea.
