Reviews

From Ives to Berio, and Cowell to Libby Larsen, she has given an excellent summary of works by twentieth-century composers and the performance challenges they present...Mabry's book is a superb find for solo singer and choral conductor. It is highly recommended, as is her approach to twentieth-century vocal music. Choral Journal [A]n invaluable polemic for and introduction to singing the still insufficiently known vocal repertoire of the 20th century...Essential. Choice
