The value of this book lies in the way each ‘component’ is addressed individually and discussed in a conversational manner that is easy to understand, yet not over-simplified.  After reading Components, I have found myself much more aware of vocal blend as I work with my 100-voice choir.

This little book packs a punch.  Succinct, different, thoughtful, inspiring.  I love the way Eskelin’s brain works. Mary Rago, Burroughs High School, Burbank, CA

I like this book a lot!  I especially like the chapter on ‘Blendability,’ in which the author clarifies what it is and what it is not.  Components of Vocal Blend should be required reading for every choral director everywhere. Roger Duffer, musical director, Inland Master Chorale, Redlands, CA
