women's acapella music, repertoireAbstract
This study of Australian women's acapella music expands upon Gibb and Loader ( 1997), and their specific study of the Bulgarian -influenced music of Sydney's Martenitsa Choir. By contrast, Rickwood identifies the issues implicit in the performance of an eclectic, international repertoire.
