Rezensionen

The twenty-eight spirituals included are listed in chronological order of publication, which is helpful in program building. The arrangers are all well known, and include distinguished composers of the caliber of Norman Luboff and Robert Shaw . . . Something in fact, for everybody . . . This is a well-prepared collection, and worth including in any good choral society's library, while being invaluable to specialists in this field. Well done, Mr Hogan!
