Kaplan's Choral Conducting

Abraham Kaplan was an amazing teacher of conducting at The Juilliard School. He transmitted much of his wisdom to the book, Choral Conducting. Unfortunately, the book was out of print for a long time and was hard to obtain, hence the possible discrepancies in editions. I've found the paperback in particular to be an extremely adequate and useful source for my college teaching. Other books deal with batons and CDs and other auxiliary products, but Kaplan deals with the basics of conducting--which is exactly what our students need.
