A City That Sings: Cincinnati’s Choral Tradition 1800-2012

A City That Sings: Cincinnati’s Choral Tradition 1800- 2012 is the first full-length chronicle of the Queen City’s

contributions to choral music. It is a story of church choirs

and community choruses, of concert halls and lavish festivals,

of education and performance. But most of all it is about the

everyday people who gave their souls and voices to found and

continue a choral tradition. The four authors dedicate this

book to thousands of Cincinnati singers of all musical and

ethnic backgrounds who have raised their voices in song over

the past two centuries to create the rich tradition detailed

within these covers.
