But what makes the sound, and in particular the sound of a professional group, so appealing? In this essay, I look at the science behind the notes to find out why choral Music sounds so good. ▶ Support my channel: https://www.patreon.com/listeningin ▶ Subscribe: https://bit.ly/2PlVaMS ____________________ ▶ Website: http://www.barnabymartin.com ▶ Twitter: https://twitter.com/BarnabyMartin FURTHER READING Choral Phonetics - when vowels control the intonation [Wolfgang Saus]: https://www.oberton.org/wp-content/uploads/ws-Choral-Phonetics-vh-2.pdf CHOIRS FEATURED IN THIS VIDEO Tenebrae Choir: https://www.tenebrae-choir.com/ Voces8: https://voces8.com/ Illuminare Choir: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnDCENlgvXo The Choir of Westminster Abbey: https://www.westminster-abbey.org/worship-Music/Music/the-abbey-choir-and-Musicians/the-choir The Kingdom Choir: https://ki...    less

Commissioned for the Combined Choirs of St. Joseph's School, Seattle, directed by Rick Boyle, who premiered the piece at Benaroya Hall's Nordstrom Recital Hall on May 6, 2004, in the second annual "New Works New Hope" concert for the benefit of Gilda's Club Seattle. The piece was revised in 2007 and the premiere of the revised score was given on November 16, 2007, by the Queens College Chorus, Cindy Bell conducting, at the Aaron Copland School of Music in New York. “Driven by a refreshing text of American naturalist John Muir, Bartholomew has created an accessible work that flows easily through both key and meter changes, and features expressive, lyric melodies contrasted by exciting rhythmic drive.“ - Cindy Bell  less

It is composed and directed by youths who though come from various sectors in society share the same passion….love for Music. They venture into old and contemporary Music, going through each piece in bits and pieces, in its history, in its interpretation, in its message! Their dedication and constant development, thanks to their Musical direct or Marouska Attard, has helped them establish as one of the most renowned choirs in Malta. In fact, on ‘The Guardian’ of November 16th, 2010, one of their major productions was listed with the top ten events in Europe, alongside internationally renowned producers and productions. Schola Cantorum Jubilate specialises in the sacred polyphony though on looking at its curriculum vitæ, one finds the choir’s participation in various concerts, operas and tours concerned with secular Music. Its repertoire includes pieces by great composers like Palestrina, Victoria, Purcell, Bach, Mozart and also contemporary ones like Per...    less

From the French, Hispanic and English ships, I landed in the Americas, the unfamiliar land. This is Haiti, this is my story. I come from Africa with my strong religion, With banbous, drums, with all my soul. Right when I debarked, the villains muted me. They swore a thousand times they would convert me. They did all they could to make me lose my mind, To forget my ancestors who are still in Africa. Thus I cut the chords with words of Liberty, Words of Equality, words of Dignity. I spent three hundred years under the chains of slavery; Night and day I struggled with work, Carrying loads on my head, loads on my shoulders, For others to rejoice in the metropolitan lands.

Individual song parts recorded by the choristers using their own equipment following lead videos made by our Director, Pierre. Pierre then put together the video using Final Cut Pro. A message from the Director: "Christmas 2020 is the first in our 43-year history where we haven’t been able to stage live concerts, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still sing. So, after planning, rehearsing and recording, we are proud to present All and Some, one selection from our Virtual Christmas Concert of 6 carols. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nstkQZ9-5Gs We hope you will enjoy our renditions of old favourites, some in new settings by our director, along with a few lesser known pieces from our carol archives. I cannot be more proud of my Musical colleagues for forging through the complex logistics of putting these videos together. I thank them for their loyalty to our fans and their fellow choir members, and for their diligence ...    less
