Selected by the ACDA Publications Committee and recommended as a required text at many American choral institutions, this stunning anthology reveals the often-overlooked American composers of choral music from the Romantic period. Thirty-three superb compositions are included, carefully edited and researched by Dr. David P. DeVenney. The collection includes works by William Batchelder Bradbury, George F. Bristow, Dudley Buck, George Whitefield Chadwick, William Wallace Gilchrist, Henry Hadley, John Knowles Paine, Horatio Parker, and James Cutler Dunn (J.C.D.) Parker. Historical commentary is included for every piece, as well as recordings of the majority of the pieces which can be accessed online using the unique code inside the book and then streamed or downloaded. Many of these choral compositions are available as separate octavos for programming and performance convenience.
