The Oxford Book of Upper-Voice Polyphony

Dr Mark Keane is a choral director, educator, and organist from Ireland. He completed his doctoral studies at the Royal Irish Academy of Music/Trinity College Dublin, and is Organist and Director of Music at Tuam Cathedral, Co Galway, and Head of Music at Galway Community College.

Styles and compositional techniques are greatly varied, with busy counterpoint and solemn homophony ensuring that there's something for all levels of ability, indicating that this book could be the basis for a course of study and a great builder of musicianship, sight-reading, and vocal technique. [...] This isn't a book you might buy just to get one or two works: it's one of those anthologies you pick up for a flick through and then realise that significant time has passed while you're enthralled by the contents. A jewel-box of high-voice loveliness and an invaluable resource.
