Music for Conducting Study
James Jordan with Giselle Wyers
exercises by Roger Ames and Gerald Custer
One of the fundamental approaches of the critically
acclaimed Evoking Sound conducting text is that
conducting technique must be developed in tandem
with one’s ear. This indispensable collection of music
and materials for individual or class study is organized
beginning with unison pieces and canons through fourpart
polyphonic literature. Performance editions of the
pieces for study are included as well as other valuable
components.
