SEAN MICHAEL BURTON This month we are highlighting articles on two unique musical
seanburtonmusic@gmail.com genres. First, authors and Sacred Harp singers Lily Hammond, Abigail
MARQUES L. A. GARRETT Cannon, and Esther Morgan-Ellis “outline how the community-based
marques.garrett@unt.edu nature of shape-note singing affects the contents of contemporary com-
positions, determines composers’ philosophies, and influences singers’
ZEBULON M. HIGHBEN engagement with new musical works.” Second, Donna Arnold’s article
zebulon.highben@duke.edu
offers a look at Serge Jaroff’s Don Cossack Choir, a choir formed in a
MICHAEL PORTER concentration camp in Turkey during the Russian Civil War that later
cmporter1750@gmail.com became popular in the United States.
BRETT SCOTT The “Choral Conversations” Column features Pearl Shangkuan, the
cornislb@ucmail.uc.edu current National ACDA President-Elect. Pearl speaks with Mary Tuuk
Kuras about memorable moments from her career, preparing choruses,
WILLIAM SOUTHERLAND and finding balance. Finally, find articles related to teaching expression,
william@williamsoutherland.com
approaching choral tone, a reflection from a past ACDA national con-
DEBRA SPURGEON ference session, and information about ACDA archive holdings at the
