NEC faculty member and vocalist Barbara Winchester ’68, ’70 M.M., and choral director Kay Dunlap ’74 M.M. saw the publishing of a new edition of their book, Vocal Chamber Music. The book was written to help singers identify literature for multiple solo voices and for voice in combination with instruments. Originally written in 1985, it had acquired “rare book status.” Thanks to this new edition, it is now much easier to acquire. 1/12/08 |
