Описание: In Choral Masterpieces: Major and Minor, historian Nicholas Tarling surveys the landscape of choral works, some standard masterpieces that are commonly performed by choruses around the world, others deserving a second, closer look. As noted in the foreword by Uwe Grodd, music director of the Auckland Choral Society, this work is a collection of essays about a number of outstanding works, including Beethoven s Miss Solemnis and Britten s War Requiem, but he also invites attention to lesser masterpieces. If the choral movement, which includes both singers and listeners, is to survive, new works must be created and repertory expanded. The book is an easy and captivating read even if you are not a chorister. Choral Masterpieces: Major and Minor features short essays on over 28 works, from major masterpieces such as Handel s Messiah and Bach s St. Matthew s Passion to off-the-beaten path choral works as Samuel Coleridge-Taylor s Hiawatha and Frederick Delius A Mass of Life. Throughout, Tarling offers assessments that sparkle with unique insights and at the same time ground listener s in the historical contexts of the work s production and performance. Each work is transformed in Tarling s able hands from musical work into a window into the mind and milieu of the composer. Choral Masterpieces: Major and Minor mixes choral mainstays with works that demand revisiting. Choral singers and their audiences, as well as choral societies and their directions and promoters, will find ample food for thoughts in these meditations on the choral tradition.

Описание:

Sirens are sounds that confront us in daily life, from the sounds of police cars, fire engines and less often - tornado warnings. In World War Two in London during the Blitz -sirens warned people to move into the safety of air-raid shelters. Yet in parallel to this 'Sirens' also have a mythical reality as embodied in the meeting between Odysseus and the Sirens in Greek myth whereby the specter of the 'Sirens' embodied the seductive, but ultimately destructive power of sound over the human subject.

Ideologies of the Sirens embody both the protective and the dangerous elements of Siren sounds - from the Cold War public training exercises in the US in the 1950s and 60s warning of imminent nuclear attack to the seductive power of the Sirens entrenched in popular culture through popular song, from the music of Roxy Music to Tom O'Dell and in filmic representations of the 'femme-fatale' in Film Noir and beyond. The book argues that we should understand 'Siren sounds' both as myth and as materiality embodying both danger and protectiveness. It then poses the question as to whether we can rely on the sirens both in their mythic meanings or in their material meanings in contemporary culture. This question is addressed via the notion of the 'silencing of the sirens'

Описание: As the landscape of choral education changes - disrupted by Glee, YouTube, and increasingly cheap audio production software - teachers of choral conducting need current research in the field that charts scholarly paths through contemporary debates and sets an agenda for new critical thought
and practice. Where, in the digitizing world, is the field of choral pedagogy moving? Editor Frank Abrahams and Paul D. Head, both experienced choral conductors and teachers, offer here a comprehensive handbook of newly-commissioned chapters that provide key scholarly-critical perspectives on
teaching and learning in the field of choral music, written by academic scholars and researchers in tandem with active choral conductors.

As chapters in this book demonstrate, choral pedagogy encompasses everything from conductors' gestures to the administrative management of the choir. The contributors to The Oxford Handbook of Choral Pedagogy address the full range of issues in contemporary choral pedagogy, from repertoire to voice
science to the social and political aspects of choral singing. They also cover the construction of a choral singer's personal identity, the gendering of choral ensembles, social justice in choral education, and the role of the choral art in society more generally. Included scholarship focuses on
both the United States and international perspectives in five sections that address traditional paradigms of the field and challenges to them; critical case studies on teaching and conducting specific populations (such as international, school, or barbershop choirs); the pedagogical functions of
repertoire; teaching as a way to construct identity; and new scholarly methodologies in pedagogy and the voice.
