The Choral Journal Index

The Choral Journal index is a useful resource that is available to ACDA members to be able to easily search articles dating from the present to May 1959. Some of these are admittedly out of date and no longer useful, but there are so many treasures to be found that still have relevance to choral conductors in the twenty-first century. This weekly ChoralNet blog occasionally includes a highlight from past articles, and you can find many of these by going to the “CJ Replay” tag.

Scott Dorsey has done a wonderful job updating the Choral Journal index for each new volume year, and I personally use it regularly to find articles of various topics of interest. Those interested in submitting an article for consideration to Choral Journal should search the index first to see if we have published an article on this topic in the past.

You can view the Choral Journal index by clicking here or by going to the ACDA homepage, clicking “Publications –> Choral Journal –> Search Archives and there you will see a link.

This index is current from volume 19 through 56. There is also an index for the first 18 volumes of Choral Journal, available as ACDA Monograph #3, edited by Gordon Paine. This index is a guide for searching articles in issues published between 1959 and 1978. We are currently working in making this available in an electronic format; it is currently only available in hard copy from our archives here at the office.

Please feel free to get in touch with me about any questions regarding the Choral Journal index. This is truly a wonderful resource and I hope you take advantage of!
