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

Recorded live on March 16, 2015, at First Presbyterian Church in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Performed by the Radcliffe Choral Society of Harvard University. Director: Beth Willer. The composer writes: "I wanted to make a piece about the creation story but I didn't want to highlight one religion's or culture's narrative over another." "It was important for me to try to find something universal, something present in all stories, or common to all cultures. I hit upon the idea of making a kind of checklist of everything that needed to be created to get the world to this point, without each individual culture's stories or myths or exoticisms.

This mixed-voice Choral ensemble varies in size depending on the project from 16 to 40 auditioned singers and performs a diverse repertoire ranging from the Renaissance to the 21st Century.
