Book recommendation: Choir training with Colin Mawby

For many years Colin Mawby has been associated with our movement Pueri Cantores. Indeed, he composed a lot of pieces for our choirs and was regularly invited to our congresses. Now a large collection of his writings has been published: "Choir Training with Colin Mawby" can be a discovery of his work, practical advice and inspiring stories. Drawing from his vast experience, Mawby generously shares his wisdom on all aspects of choral music. From choosing repertoire and running effective rehearsals to working with clergy and nurturing young talent, his insights are both inspiring and engaging.
