Recenzje

The groups that will benefit most from this book are the myriad parish church and school choirs up and down the country who often struggle for numbers or voice parts . . . this is a life-saver if you conduct a choir of the only-one-80-year-old-tenor or men-only-at-Christmas sort . . . This book will surely become a staple for choirs throughout the country.
