Book Description
The Indiana Extension Chorus program began in the 1930s, but this influential phenomenon remained obscure for decades. As this study reveals, the program provided rural women with musical training and opportunities to sing in a county chorus. The repertoire included arrangements of folk and patriotic songs, light classical works, and popular renditions.
