The Complete Choral Conductor

Résumé du livre

"The complete choral conductor is exactly what the title says it is--a uniquely comprehensive introduction to every aspect of choral conducting, from basic gestures to the organizational skills required of an accomplished conductor. Unlike other texts based largely on instrumental music, this book focuses entirely on the demands, problems, and talents involved in vocal music. It is divided into three parts. Part one, for the very beginning student, covers physical gestures and the basic study of the musical score. Part two examines advanced conducting techniques. And part three deals with the knowledge required of the conductor--audition procedures and rehearsal techniques, music selection and programming, vocal exercises, intonation balance, and blend."--Publisher's description.
