(Book). Tesfa Wondemagegnehu writes, The compendium you hold in your
hands represents the glimmering of the North Star. All thought-leaders
and outstanding practitioners of our time, these authors have provided
myriad ways to navigate through the messy, deafening, and sometimes
terrifying chaos around us. Choral Reflections offers inspiration,
ideas, and insights for conductor-teachers at any stage. The goal for
Choral Reflections is to provide a platform for a new and more
representative cross-section of American choral conductor-teachers to
share their reflections, beliefs, values, and visions for the choral
art. The thirty contributors are: Hilary Apfelstadt, Anton Armstrong,
Geoffrey Boers, Edith A. Copley, Rollo A. Dilworth, Jason Max Ferdinand,
Lynne Gackle, Janet Galvan, Lynnel Joy Jenkins, Craig Hella Johnson, Ann
Howard Jones, Henry H. Leck, Iris S. Levine, Fernando Malvar-Ruiz, Kevin
McBeth, Marcela Molina, Gary Packwood, Rosephanye Powell, Amanda Quist,
Doreen Rao, Jeffery B. Redding, Eugene Rogers, Diana V. Saez, Pearl
Shangkuan, Tom Shelton, Sandra Snow, Andre J. Thomas, Betsy Cook Weber,
Brad Wells, and Jace Kaholokula Saplan.
