Morna Edmundson, Artistic Director, takes us through two of her warmups, 1) using folk song melodies to encourage legato singing and natural phrasing and 2) "Umbrellas" to ease the top of a woman's range. Elektra's mandate is "to inspire and lead in the choral art form through excellence in performance and the creation, exploration, and celebration of women's repertoire." Your thoughts on the video?

This is footage from their concert at St Stephani, Bremen in December, 2010.
The text of this piece is really cool. It is about a mystical tribe of desert women who would stamp their feet into the dust creating beautiful clouds. Light would shine through and create patterns and rainbows. Men would be attracted by these clouds and come to the women's camp. The Wirindji women would cook for them, mate with them then kill them and eat them! You can hear the beautiful sounds of the desert landscape, the clusters of sunLight and the dangerous moral :-)

This is footage from The Australian Voices' concert at St Stephani, Bremen in December, 2010.
Gowned as a bride thou art
Caught with the glow,
Giving with ruddy heart
Blood to the snow.
Thou has come in to make
Dreams to the boy,
Lightly the girl will take
Omens of joy.
Thou hast the taste of all
Sweethearts in Spring,
Thou hast come out to call
Colours to sing.
Low rides the sun above,
Meek as the moon:
Thou art as moist in love
As a love tune.
Still as a bride thou art
In a bride's gown:
See! an uplifted heart
Beats in a clown.
