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.

American composer and educator Merrill Bradshaw (1929-2000) was a visible and influential figure as professor of music and composer-in-residence at Brigham Young University. He composed many choral and choral/orchestral works that were highly acclaimed and frequently performed throughout his career. Most of his music, however, was either never published, or was published by companies that are now defunct or cater to a relatively limited market. His influence, however, extended beyond his teaching and composing to a significant collection of writings that explore issues of Mormonism and the arts. This paper explores Bradshaw0́9s choral music, specifically the influences that led to the development of an eclectic approach to music composition, and Bradshaw0́9s influence in perpetuating Mormon musical culture. Chapter 1 provides personal and professional background on Bradshaw. Chapter 2 gives a brief history of the development of music composition among Mormon composers and describes Bradshaw0́9s views on Mormonism and the arts. Chapter 3 discusses how his views aided in the development of a compositional style. Chapter 4 provides a summary of his compositional output, examples of stylistic characteristics of Bradshaw0́9s music, and representative analyses of a selection of Bradshaw0́9s choral works. Works analyzed include The Articles of Faith (1960), Three Songs on Verses by Emily Dickinson (1967), Psalm XCVI (1969), and three movements from The Restoration (1974). An appendix includes a listing of Bradshaw0́9s choral works.

Choral music represented an important part of American cultural life during the nineteenth century, whether integral to worship or merely for entertainment. Despite this history, choral music remains one of the more neglected studies in the scholarly community. In an effort to fill this gap, N. Lee Orr and W. Dan Hardin offer a new approach to the study of choral music by mapping out and bringing bibliographical control to this expansive and challenging field of study. Their unique guide focuses on literature related to choral music in the United States from the end of the second decade of the nineteenth century through the earlier part of the twentieth century. Choral Music in Nineteenth-Century America explores the entire range of choral music conceived, written, published, rehearsed, and performed by an ensemble of singers gathered specifically to present the music before an audience or congregation. The guide expertly sifts through the extensive literature to cite the most notable sources for study and provides individual chapters on the leading nineteenth-century composers who were instrumental in the development of choral music.

This survey of choral literature, written by American composers from 1760 through the 1990s, examines nearly 3,000 pieces of choral music written by over 300 composers. Along with a descriptive analysis, the literature is placed within a historical perspective. Familiar and less well-known composers and their music are examined. The study seeks to remedy the superficial treatment choral music is often given in standard textbooks on American music and to acknowledge and expose the varied richness of the literature. Choral conductors and musicologists will appreciate the vast repertory of choral music literature examined. Organized chronologically, this study uniquely traces the development of choral music literature throughout the centuries. A select bibliography provides a useful guide for further research.
