K. Thomas: Lehrbuch Der Chorleitung 1: Gemischter Chor mit Begleitung

Thanks to the "Thomas Method", which has left a lasting mark on the professionalization of choral conductors, choral conducting became teachable in 1935, the year this handbook was published. But although this method is a popular as ever before, the intervening fifty years have not gone by unnoticed - despite revised and expanded new editions. Alexander Wagner, professor of choral instruction at the Detmold Conservatory, studied with Kurt Thomas and was in 1991 thus the ideal person to incorporate the latest advances in this field and to close the gaps in this method. "Es entstand eine aktuelle und zuverlässige Schule der Chorleitung, die Hand in Hand mit der professionellen Ausbildung an den Musikhochschulen geht und als bekanntes Standardwerk keiner weiteren empfehlung bedarf."(Cantate)
