BOOKS, BOOK CHAPTERS, AND BOOK FOREWARDS

Choral Music in the Nineteenth Century
written by Nick Strimple
published by Amadeus Press, 2008
“Choral Music in the Nineteenth Century by Nick Strimple, which follows the author’s earlier volume on the twentieth century, meets the need — surprisingly unmet before — for a comprehensive single volume devoted to this field.” – Glyn Paflin, The London Times Literary Supplement (TLS), January 15, 2010.

Choral Music in the Twentieth Century
written by Nick Strimple
published by Amadeus Press, 2002
“This volume is the first to focus on the century’s choral repertoire, and it sets a high standard . . . Not only is it the indispensable guide to choral music of the twentieth century, but it is among the most comprehensive and well-written guides to choral repertoire of any period.” – William Weinert, American Choral Review, Spring/Summer 2003.

Jewish Resistance Against the Nazis
edited by Patrick Henry
published by Catholic University Press, 2014
Strimple contributed the “Music as Resistance,” chapter.
This book received three major publication awards:
1. Jewish Book Council (Read Award, 2015); 2. Association of University Presses (2015 Books for Secondary and Public School Libraries); 3. Choice Magazine (Outstanding Academic Titles, 2014).

The Cambridge Companion to Choral Music
edited by André de Quadros
published by Cambridge University Press, 2012
Strimple contributed the “Choral Music in the Twentieth and Early Twenty-first Centuries,” chapter.
“Strimple chooses the explosion of stylistic options in the early twentieth century as his point of departure. He wisely clusters interesting figures around the principal innovators associated with styles such as polytonality, Impressionism and dodecophony. Due attention is paid to luminaries such as Ives, Debussy, and Stravinsky, but worthy commentary concerning lesser-known music related to the World Wars and the Holocaust is a shining addition to the chapter.” – James Niblock, American Choral Review, Volume 56 Number 1 Winter/Spring 2014.

Dvořák in America
edited by John Tibbetts
published by Amadeus Press, 1993
Strimple contributed the “Te Deum and The American Flag,” chapter.
“This is a set of 26 independent essays by scholars on topics such as his influence on American music and musicians, studies of his compositions, and his American legacy. Generally well written in a scholarly but not intimidating style, these essays give an excellent and many-faceted picture of Dvorak and of the tremendous influence his short stay had on American music.” – Timothy J. McGee, University of Toronto ©1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Sing Romantic Music Romantically: Nineteenth-Century Choral Performance Practices
written by David Friddle
published by Lexington Books, 2022
Strimple wrote the Foreward to this comprehensive examination of how choral music was performed in the 1800s.
“Friddle’s manuscript leads the reader down a path of source-discovery that will enlighten, challenge, and no doubt shape future performances.” — Timothy Newton, DMA, Professor of Music, SUNY Oneonta.

Songs of Sonderling: Commissioning Jewish Émigré Composers in Los Angeles, 1938-1945
written by Jonathan L. Friedman and John F. Guest
published by Texas Tech University Press, 2021
Strimple wrote the Foreward to this in-depth look at the commissions Sonderling made while living in Los Angeles.
“Through musical analyses and an examination of Sonderling’s career in Los Angeles, Friedmann and Guest contribute to the study of Jewish liturgical music, to Jewish history in the American West, to Jewish identity in the twentieth century, and to Jewish diaspora writ large.” – Texas Tech University Press.
