The Centenary of the Cathedral Church of Christ Choir, Lagos

The Cathedral Church of Christ Choir, Lagos, is the oldest choral group in Nigeria nestled within the oldest Anglican Cathedral in Nigeria. This book is divided into 18 chapters narrating the taxonomical aspects, phases, and stations of the Cathedral Church and its beautiful choir. From an intellectual historical perspective of the church, to the history of the organs, the choir and its musicians, and the myriad of outstanding musical activities, to the off-shoots of allied groups, culminating in a brief analyses of selected compositions by Ekundayo Phillips and Babatunde Sosan in the last chapter. Indeed, it is a monumental contribution that would inevitably elicit the study of church music in Nigerian higher institutions. The Cathedral Church, Church musicians and music students, choristers, music lecturers, composers, historians, choral conductors, music ministers, clergies, and even musicologists, would certainly benefit immensely from the wealth of repository inculcated into this book.
