Choral Research: Remarks to a Global Bibliography

The choral research inventory at the Department of Musicology focuses mainly on research literature. It records publications from both a historical and transnational point of view and systematizes these publications along music pedagogical and music historical terms. It also aligns research strategies with respect to this field, which to some extent might be described as marginalized. As such, the inventory is the combination of a bibliography and a guideline to the field of choral research with an international outlook. One of its main goals is to make visible what is often hidden and to give an overview of the academic tendencies in different choral research discourses. Another goal is to identify connections between different academic traditions and to show desiderates in choral research in order to become aware of relevant research questions and areas for future research on both a national and international perspective
