Originally published in the early 1900s. The book was written to assist Choral Conductors and Choirmasters, though its scope is not limited to these, as many of the principles embodied in the illustrated text are applicable to Soloists as well as to Orchestral and Military Conductors. Contents include: Methods of Rehearsal - Power of Voice - Breathing - Articulation and Diction - Musical Expression - The Messiah - Conducting - Technique and Interpretation etc. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
