Abstract
This is a study of the life and a cataloguing of the choral works of Robert De Cormier (b. 1922), American composer, arranger, and conductor. The first chapter outlines his musical development and professional activity. Included are his activities as a conductor, arranger, and composer for singers and orchestra, as well as his collaborations with greats of the American folk music revival of the twentieth century. The catalogue of his complete published choral arrangements includes information on the sources of all folk material where possible, including the unique numbers assigned by the Roud Folksong Index for English-language songs. There is also an annotated listing of his complete choral compositions, which span from 1962 to the present and encompass a variety of styles. A relevant bibliography is included, highlighting De Cormier's work as an early crossover artist working in both folk and classical music.
