Rezensionen / Stimmen
Styles and compositional techniques are greatly varied, with busy counterpoint and solemn homophony ensuring that there's something for all levels of ability, indicating that this book could be the basis for a course of study and a great builder of musicianship, sight-reading, and vocal technique. [...] This isn't a book you might buy just to get one or two works: it's one of those anthologies you pick up for a flick through and then realise that significant time has passed while you're enthralled by the contents. A jewel-box of high-voice loveliness and an invaluable resource. * Rebecca Tavener, Choir & Organ, August 2021 * All of the editions are beautifully and intelligently presented. Overall, this collection presents much unknown material and the music is of unerringly high quality. There is plenty to work at for even the most accomplished upper-voice ensembles, and amateur groups will significantly enhance their repertory if they work through this approachable Renaissance manual. * Jeremy Summerly, August 2021 *
