Description
This book is an auto-ethnographic account of the development of a charismatic community choir leader.
It brings together management literature and a survey of the community choir scene with the development of community choir leadership.
It provides a useful introduction to the sustaining of community choirs, including the use of English folksongmaterial in this context.
Some useful arrangements of folk songs are included.
Community singing events are described with helpful advice on setting up and managing these.
It presents a useful model of the range of skills necessary for aspiring community choir leaders.
This is linked with the formation of a community that contains spiritual elements; this is theorized in relation to the role of the parish church in communal singing.
It also discusses the two aesthetics of choral singing and the relationship between oral and literate traditions.
The book arises from the engagement of the University of Winchester in partnership with the local community, which is theorized.
