Choirs

“I want to start a flute choir!” Those words were my new mission, even though I hadn’t the faintest idea how to go about accomplishing that. When I transitioned to full-time PSEO during my junior year in high school, I didn’t have room in my schedule for band. I missed comparing contest repertoire with my fellow musicians and playing Disney songs for elementary school children to inspire them to join the band program. I felt like I was completing a jigsaw puzzle only to discover I was missing the

here!” J.K Rowling could not have worded this quote any better. Words cannot describe the impact choir has had on me over the past four years. Choir has shaped me into the accepting, kind, loving, and passionate person I am today and it has steered me in the direction of my future career. Being a part of choir has been more than just learning music, it has taught me so much more than that. Through choir I have learned how to work as a team in so many different ways such as; helping others learn their

two years, and counting, that I have spent participating in the Phoenix Girls Chorus, PGC. In PGC there are five different levels of choir. From least to most experienced the choir levels are: Melodia, Harmonia, Dolce, Bella, and Cantabile. Last year and the year before I was in the Dolce choir and this year I promoted to Bella. In order to promote to another choir you must complete all the theory book requirements and master a special skill, such as sight reading. When I was in Dolce we went on

Choir Tour Epidemic It was choir tour, and we were all excited. We loaded up the bus and found our seats. As we drove along we were playing games and singing. In general being noise. Our first stop was in which was a long ways from Weimar. We drove for about 10 hours straight. At first the time seamed to fly, but after the first few hours the time seamed to drag. It was Friday so as the sun began to set we all joined together and sang a few songs. When we got there it was very late and we

Sitting up confidently in her chair, she then proceeded to pull up open classes on her computer. After explaining what each one entailed for a good half hour, I wasn’t very impressed by the options. Clearly frustrated and defeated she suggested, “Choir?” The very last one on her list was the class that made me who I am today. For many years of my life I had struggled fitting in, weather it be in sports or core classes, it was difficult for me. I had very few friends and never academically exelled

A Spring Choir Concert On Tuesday March 1, 2016 at 7:00pm, I attended a Spring Choir Concert back home put on by the Oswego East High School Choral Department. It took place in the Performing Arts Center where the lights turned down and the stage lit up. The different choirs from acapella to ambiance to Voice Activated sang songs from a range of various musical stylings and genres. Some sang pop while a different choir would sing .They sang their songs one after the other. Going into this concert

made by the other members of my choir. Step by step, each passed towards the center stage. My legs started to get tremulous, and my mind cluttered with every lyric and dance step I practiced for months. I was losing control of every part of me. “Next on stage we have the all-girls Diamond Bar show choir, Solitaire,” a man proudly announced as a wave of cheers followed. As the curtain slowly rose, my heart felt as if it was going to erupt. It was my first show choir performance since nearly three years

Sistine Chapel Choir has consisted of 24 male singers. These singers are split into four different parts - soprano, alto, tenor and bass – with 6 singers in for each part. The soprano and alto would consist of the upper range and tenor and bass would be the lower range. The high voices consist of men that could sing in the falsetto range or men who unfortunately was snipped in order to keep their voices in that range. Those men were later replaced by boys in the 1800s but the choir still remains all

In Hodie, the choir sounds together with their mouth shapes and you can hear their voices ringing all the time. In this piece, they all have their voices forward and up while the basses aren’t dumping when they get to the lower or solo sections (2:30). Throughout the song the choir maintains good sound quality and timbre while making sure not to overpower the other parts which makes this sound really nice. They have very pronounced diction (1:40) which helps give the song a better feel. Their

statement true when considering Treble Choir, the base, entry level choir at Kuna High School. I joined choir when I was a sophomore but I had been training in a professional choral group since I was five years old. In light of this, I got to skip the first step in the “choir experience.” I’ve always been curious as to what this choir was like, what with all the wild stereotypes surrounding the group. I decided I would observe them as my subculture. I walked into the choir room on the 29th of September,
