Offering an overview of sacred singing in the Judeo-Christian tradition, this book includes Jewish cantorial music, Gregorian chant, choral traditions, post-Vatican II Catholic music, and contemporary Christian music. It explores liturgical origins, musical characteristics, and repertoire and resources for each of these traditions and offers advice for seeking work within each tradition's institutional settings. Developed in coordination with the National Association for Teachers of Singing, all books in the So You Want to Sing series include supplemental online materials available on their website.
