Choral Music in the Twentieth Century.(Book review)
[website] Choral Music in the Twentieth Century, by Nick Strimple. Amadeus Press, LLC (512 Newark Pompton Plains Tpke., Pompton Plains, NJ 07444), 2005. 389pp. $18.95.
Nick Strimple's Choral Music in the Twentieth Century is a scholarly examination of choral art during the 100 years ending in 2000. Everyone with a love of choral music--whether composer, conductor, singer or just fond admirer--should have this eloquent book in their library. Strimple, a gifted and articulate writer, has produced a volume that is easy, enjoyable and enlightening to read.
The beginning overview gives the reader an outline of the varied paths that developed on each of the continents. Strimple has an expansive knowledge of styles, past and contemporary influences, evolutionary change and historical importance of numerous choral masterpieces. Starting with the remnants of the 19th century, the chronological survey in each chapter, by country, and sometimes by ethnicity, is confirming evidence of Strimple's lifelong study of the literature.
His attention to political and religious impositions on music and musicians in the 20th century is meticulous and carefully documented. He quotes from recent scholarship such as Michael H. Kater's research on music in Nazi Germany, "The Twisted Muse," among others.
