CHORAL JOURNAL From the
EDITORIAL BOARD

EDITOR
This June/July summer issue of the Choral Journal
AMANDA BUMGARNER completes Volume 61. The past year was challenging
ACDA National Offi ce for everyone for so many different reasons, but I did

405-232-8161 (ex. 205)
abumgarner@acda.org not anticipate how much the pandemic would impact
our editorial calendar. I am so encouraged and
MANAGING EDITOR inspired by the creativity and passion shown over the
RON GRANGER last year, and I was honored to be able to share some
ACDA National Offi ce Amanda Bumgarner of that through the pages of Choral Journal, ChorTeach
405-232-8161
rgranger@acda.org (ACDA’s teaching publication, online quarterly), and the International Journal of
Research in Choral Singing (ACDA’s scholarly research journal, online).
EDITORIAL BOARD In Volume 61 we were able to include a focus issue from two of ACDA’s

standing committees: Education and Communication (September 2020;
SEAN MICHAEL BURTON
seanburtonmusic@gmail.com Jamila McWhirter, guest editor); and International Activities (May 2021; T. J.
Harper, guest editor). We are hoping to include two more focus issues from
MARQUES L. A. GARRETT
marques.garrett@unl.edu Standing Committees in the 2021-2022 volume year.
January and March 2021 were issues related to ACDA’s National
STEVE GRIVES Conference, a first this year as a virtual event. The conference’s theme

celebrated diversity in music. My job as Publications Editor is to serve ACDA’s
MICHAEL PORTER wide and diverse membership base through the pages of our publications.

Everyone has something they care passionately about. Everyone has more they
DEBRA SPURGEON can learn about the choral art and, I believe, everyone has something they can

teach others. It is my hope that you can fi nd at least one article in every issue
WILLIAM WEINERT that interests or inspires you, but if you feel that a topic is underrepresented
wweinert@esm.rochester.edu or missing, write it or ask someone to write it. Our submission guidelines
GISELLE WYERS are online at https://acda.org/publications/choral-journal/submission-
wyersg@uw.edu guidelines/.
Though we cannot immediately implement all desired topics due to
COLUMN EDITORS the nature of our press schedule, page count, and the vast interests of our
thousands of members, we are always open to feedback and suggestions. My
DUANE COTTRELL
dco@udel.edu email is abumgarner@acda.org if you have questions, comments, concerns,
or positive feedback to share about how an article inspired you in your
CHRISTOPHER EANES daily work. We have internally been discussing how we can better serve our
eanesc@gmail.com
membership through our publications. One goal is to expand our practical
KYLE HANSON teaching publication, ChorTeach, in 2022, so watch for more details in the
kyhanson88@gmail.com
coming months.

Editor’s Correction: The April 2021 issue included a review of Joan Szymko’s
GREGORY PYSH piece Arise My Love (p. 83). The reviewer states, “The tune is At the River, a
gpysh@fpcmid.org
traditional hymn tune.” One line of lyrics was adapted from the hymn tune.
LAURA WIEBE All of the melodic material is original.
