However, as performers and as listeners, we need ways of experiencing this information and inspiration in fresh and new ways for insight, understanding, and sometimes for the important and practical reasons of accessibility. This is at the core of Arranging: A Beginner’s Guide: Step-by Step Instructions and Exercises, and the tools we need to approach informed creativity are systematically outlined in this comprehensive guide to arranging.” —Tim Sharp, Executive Director American Choral Directors Association Sought after for his choral, solo vocal, and orchestral work, Blake Henson has received numerous commissions from choral and instrumental ensembles of all kinds.
