About This Book
New Zealanders love to sing together, and we've done so in choirs for over 200 years. In Sing New Zealand, Guy E. Jansen describes our country's choral music trajectory, from the amateur efforts of the nineteenth century to today's internationally renowned choirs. It's a story about striving for excellenceâand achieving it. This book is the first to bring together the stories and history of this significant aspect of New Zealand's culture.
