Book excerpt: “In this one-of-a-kind celebration of singing with others, I’d call her pitch nearly perfect.”—The Atlantic For Stacy Horn, regardless of what is going on in the world or her life, singing in an amateur choir—the Choral Society of Grace Church in New York—never fails to take her to a place where hope reigns and everything good is possible. She’s not particularly religious, and her voice is not exceptional (so she says), but like the 32.5 million other chorus members throughout this country, singing makes her happy. Horn brings us along as she sings some of the greatest music humanity has ever produced, delves into the dramatic stories of conductors and composers, unearths the fascinating history of group singing, and explores remarkable discoveries from the new science of singing, including all the unexpected health benefits. Imperfect Harmony is the story of one woman who has found joy and strength in the weekly ritual of singing and in the irresistible power of song.

Download or read book The Choral Society (Classic Reprint) written by Leonard Charles Venables and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Choral Society Choral Societies may be divided into two classes; those which are corporate governed by a committee or officers appointed by the members) and those carried on at the risk and under the sole control of the conductor. The locality, object, and circumstances attending the formation of a new society can alone guide its projectors as to the basis to adopt. When the society is the outcome of Instruction Classes carried on by a teacher (either professional or amateur) the conductor will naturally wish to keep the reins of government in his own hands, asking probably for no more assistance than that of a secretary. The members of such a society, feeling indebted to their conductor for their musical training, will bow to his authority and carry out his wishes without question. The conductor will equally respect the members. He has led them from the alphabet of music to a more or less advanced stage of the art he knows of what they are capable, and he should be the best judge of the steps to take to complete the work which he began, and to the fulfilment of which he may have for years given his best energies. A conductor in this position should think carefully before launching into printed rules, elected officers, and committee. Committees who are not consulted, and officers who have no duties assigned them, resent the unreality of their position; and if the conductor be not ready to let them take their share in the management of the society, dissatisfaction or open rupture will be the result.

Book Synopsis American Choral Directors Association by : Tim Sharp
Download or read book American Choral Directors Association written by Tim Sharp and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) was formed in Kansas City, Missouri, on February 24, 1959, by 35 choral directors from around the United States. They aimed to create an organization that would meet the professional needs of all choir directors. To achieve this goal, they made the promotion of excellence in choral music through performance, composition, publication, research, and teaching their central purpose. In addition, ACDA strives through arts advocacy to elevate choral music's position in American society. From the original steering committee to today's leaders, this central purpose continues to drive ACDA's development. Among the ways that ACDA has promoted excellence in choral music are national and division conventions featuring the best choirs in the world, awards given to individuals who have in some way contributed to the art of choral music, state workshops and clinics, and honor choirs and commissioned works. Each generation that has passed through ACDA has left its indelible mark. The first generation built the foundation and gave ACDA its purpose. The second generation gave ACDA its independence and voice. The third generation leads the organization into a new and more globally connected world. And through it all, ACDA remains true to promoting choral music excellence.

Book Synopsis The Bach Choir: The First Hundred Years by : Basil Keen
Download or read book The Bach Choir: The First Hundred Years written by Basil Keen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of the Bach Choir provides a much-needed overview of one of the major choral societies in London. Dr Basil Keen examines the background that led to the formation of an ad hoc body to give the first performance in England of J.S. Bach's B minor Mass. The musical and organizational effects of a permanent choral society drawn from one social group are traced during the first twenty years, after such time the pressures of social change led to a complete review followed by a restructuring of the methods of recruitment and internal organization. The rebuilding of the choir at the opening of the twentieth century, the expansion of the repertoire, the upheaval resulting from the First World War and the impact of these events on preparation and performance, are all considered. The book is essentially structured around the tenure of successive Musical Directors: Otto Goldschmidt, Charles Villiers Stanford, Walford Davies, Hugh Allen, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Adrian Boult, Reginald Jacques and David Willcocks, since their varied tastes and interests inevitably had a decisive influence on policy. Keen draws upon previously unpublished material, including minutes and correspondence of the Bach Choir, interviews with relatives and descendants, and examination of family records and correspondence. To date, there has been no survey of a major London choir that encompasses the full history of the organization in context. In this study, Dr Basil Keen provides a thorough examination of the Bach Choir, including the response of the choir to social changes; the influence of conductors and officials; changes in musical taste; relationships with composers and composition; major national and international events; and the effect of these matters on organization and repertoire.

The content will appeal to singers, teachers, and choir leaders; students and scholars in the fields of choral research, community music, music psychology, and adult education; and educators training the musical leaders of the future.
