A book that is complete, savvy and useful,
By A Customer
This review is from: Song: A Guide to Style and Literature (Paperback)
Let me sing my praises for Carol Kimball's much-needed contribution to the study of song repertoire! While broad in scope, it efficiently meets the outlines of the survey course in the classroom as no other book on international song has to date. Yet this treasure chest of titles, valuable background information, and references will serve many an individual singer, teacher, coach, or pianist as well. It is sure to be a staple in every library. Finally, a book on song literature and style that is complete, savvy and useful.-- Thomas Grubb

Outstanding Reference Book, A Must for Any Survey Course,
By Jean C. Sloop - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Song: A Guide to Art Song Style and Literature (Paperback)
This book occupies a unique place in the entire body of published works for an overview of the art song genre and its development. Dr. Kimball's superb eye for detail has carefully amassed an amazing compilation of biography, analysis, and commentary on the most comprehensive number of composers, spanning all eras of song composition. The introductorysection of the book lays out a practical but not mandatory approach to using the information, in a way that encourages good listening skills and a coherent overview. Additional bibliography provides a very flexible resource for any course structure or further independent study. 11 of 11 people found the following review helpful
