Troubadour - Farewell and Thanks

It is with greatly mixed feelings that Eastern Division announces that publication of the thrice yearly Troubadour will end with the Spring 2011 issue. It has been apparent for several years that in this age of electronic media the concept of Troubadour as a "news"letter is not viable. In recent years an attempt was made to continue the publication with an emphasis on feature articles of special interest to choral directors, including writing of practical, philosophical and research focus. However, finding articles and/or writers willing to contribute to Troubadour has become more and more difficult and presumably there are enough other outlets for those who want to be published.

We express our gratitude to the founders and original editors of Troubadour and most especially to Judith Nicosia, who has faithfully edited and produced the Troubadour for the past 9 years. Thank you, Judith!
