Sommario/riassunto |
|
Most choirs spend their rehearsal time focusing on notes, rhythms, and precision. They rarely, if ever, discuss a song's meaning and feeling, |

even though those elements are precisely what draws people to vocal music in the first place. Thousands of books have been written about choral technique, teaching people how to sing technically well. What sets The Heart of Vocal Harmony apart is its focus on honest unified expression and the process of delivering an emotionally compelling performance. It delves into this underdeveloped vocal topic: the heart of vocal music and the process involved in consistent emotional expression while singing as a group. The Heart of Vocal Harmony is not just for a cappella groups-it is for all vocal harmony groups, ensembles, and choirs of all levels, with or without instruments. In addition to the process, the book features discussions with some of the biggest luminaries in vocal harmony: composers, arrangers, directors, singers, and groups-including Eric Whitacre, Pentatonix, the Manhattan Transfer, and more! |
