"The demonstration portion of this DVD was recorded live as part of the Westminster [Choir College] Conducting Institute, using participants at that institute as models. A verbal adaptation of this procedure can be found in The choral warm-up (Chapter thirteen) by James Jordan (GIA, 2005)."--Container. |
| Summary |
Noble "discusses the following important issues: beginnings and history of his experimentation with standing arrangements; Robert Shaw's use of this system (rather than 'quartet standings') for creating vertical sound columns in the choir; minimizing vibrato in choirs using effective standing procedures; improving the singers' ability to hear each other; use of 'altos in front' choral arrangement to vastly improve intonation; use of the 'flip-flop' to achieve different choral colors."--Container. |
