Popular Choral Music


This guide to popular choral music is intended for anyone who wants to study and sing a popular repertoire with a chorus. It provides suggestions for improving musicianship and vocal skills and acquiring organizational and group-psychological qualifications. Its aim is to recognize the potential in choral singers and to promote and develop choruses to their maximum ability.
Readers will find information ranging from special vocal effects and the potential of multifaceted performance to how to choose the right pieces, how best to sing from memory, where to position the singers, and how to plan a good concert. Each lesson ends with a succinct description of a style (from barber shop and gospel to calypso and funk) and a chorus specially composed for this book in the style concerned. The accompanying CD contains recordings of all 30 choruses.
