Tribute to Robert Shaw

One of the most significant American choral conductors, Robert Shaw, has left us, and the news spread quickly throughout the choral world. ChoralNet was contacted first by the office of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra to electronically publish the official obituary, and we soon received many inquiries and notes from others who had just heard the news. We set up an official channel for electronic communications on our ChoralTalk e-mail list, and you'll find archived comments from that discussion linked below. The following links are a mixture of official and unofficial reactions to the passing of this choral luminary.
