The shared experience of singing

Stacy Horn’s account connects her participation in an amateur choir in New York with a broader look at what happens when people sing together. Alongside the weekly experience of the Choral Society of Grace Church, the book explores the history of group singing, stories of composers and conductors, and research into singing’s health benefits. Its subject brings personal reflection into conversation with musical history and science, framing choir singing as both a communal practice and a source of hope and strength in Horn’s life.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in amateur choirs and choral music
  • Readers curious about the history and social experience of group singing
  • Those interested in books connecting music with health research

Book overview

For Stacy Horn, regardless of what is going on in the world or her life, singing in an amateur choir-the Choral Society of Grace Church in New York-never fails to take her to a place where hope reigns and everything good is possible. She's not particularly religious, and her voice is not exceptional (so she says), but like the 32.5 million other chorus members throughout this country, singing makes her happy. Horn brings us along as she sings some of the greatest music humanity has ever produced, delves into the dramatic stories of conductors and composers, unearths the fascinating history of group singing, and explores remarkable discoveries from the new science of singing, including all the unexpected health benefits. Imperfect Harmony is the story of one woman who has found joy and strength in the weekly ritual of singing and in the irresistible power of song.
