One reviewer said: “This book will be a great resource for academics, composers, musicians, researchers, and students who are interested in the history of Vhavenḓa, their customs and tradition, their choral music as well as the canon of Venda choral composers. The book is an effort to preserve Venda choral music as well as the works of its composers. It is great to preserve available works of either past or present Venda composers and archive them professionally before they completely become extinct."
