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 premier Anglican Cathedral in the country. 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 analysis of selected compositions by Ekundayo Phillips. Indeed, it is a monumental contribution that would inevitably elicit the study of church music in higher institutions. 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.
