In the last century many of our greatest composers, including Ralph Vaughan Williams, Gustav Holst and Benjamin Britten, wrote music especially for the amateur community. They considered it a vital part of music making and it is great to see so many of today’s most prominent composers writing for this same community.
In this guide, composers and performers will find a wonderful treasury of sound advice from a wide variety of composers with experience in writing for amateur groups.
