Reviews for Hall Johnson
A superb volume chronicling the life, music, choirs, essays, letters, and poetry of Johnson.... Simpson's interspersing serves to heighten interest in the man, his choir, and his music.... The work is highly recommended not only for its personal and historical accounts but also for its scholarship.
