Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) was formed in Kansas City, Missouri, on February 24, 1959, by 35 choral directors from around the United States. They aimed to create an organization that would meet the professional needs of all choir directors. To achieve this goal, they made the promotion of excellence in choral music through performance, composition, publication, research, and teaching their central purpose. In addition, ACDA strives through arts advocacy to elevate choral music's position in American society. From the original steering committee to today's leaders, this central purpose continues to drive ACDA's development. Among the ways that ACDA has promoted excellence in choral music are national and division conventions featuring the best choirs in the world, awards given to individuals who have in some way contributed to the art of choral music, state workshops and clinics, and honor choirs and commissioned works. Each generation that has passed through ACDA has left its indelible mark. The first generation built the foundation and gave ACDA its purpose. The second generation gave ACDA its independence and voice. The third generation leads the organization into a new and more globally connected world. And through it all, ACDA remains true to promoting choral music excellence.

Download or read book The Choral Editing Standards Committee of the American Choral Directors Association written by Cody Shane Goss and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document chronicles the history of the Choral Editing Standards Committee of the American Choral Directors Association from its beginning in 1966 until the end of its activity in 1983. The historical narrative is based on data collected from documents contained in the Walter Collins II Collection from ACDA's International Archives of Choral Music in Oklahoma City. Additional data was obtained from Choral Journal and through interviews with former members of the Choral Editing Standards Committee. Articles published in Choral Journal prior to 1966 show that some members of ACDA were concerned about editing practices, particularly in the area of early music. The Choral Editing Standards Committee was created as a liaison between ACDA and music publishers to encourage dialogue between the two parties for the purpose of implementing editing reforms. During their active years, the committee produced two documents that contained suggestions for terminology and standards for editorial practice. Early music editions were cited to demonstrate some of the editing shortcomings the committee sought to address. The committee did much of their work in collaboration with the Music Publishers Association. Interviews with former committee members suggested that choral music editing did improve after the committee was created; however, committee members had differing opinions about whether or not their work directly impacted editorial practices. In general, early music editions are more historically accurate today than they were when the committee was active. These improvements may be related to sociological changes in the academic community.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Choral Music written by Melvin P. Unger and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-08-14 with total page 699 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Library Journal Starred Review (March 2024) praises the book as a "remarkable resource that will please both musical professionals and amateurs, along with teachers and their students, and conductors and singers.” Throughout the ages, people have wanted to sing in a communal context. This desire apparently stems from a deeply rooted human instinct. Consequently, choral performance historically has often been related to human rituals and ceremonies, especially rites of a religious nature. Historical Dictionary of Choral Music, Second Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 1,300 cross-referenced entries on composers, conductors, choral ensembles, choral genres, and choral repertoire. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about choral music.

Download or read book Chanting the Hebrew Bible Student Edition written by Joshua R. Jacobson and published by Jewish Publication Society. This book was released on 2005-08-05 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The e-book edition does not include the audio CD that's included with the paperback edition. The most authoritative guide on cantillation. Joshua Jacobson?s masterpiece?the comprehensive 1000-page guide to cantillation?is now available in this e-book edition. It is an ideal instructional guide for adult and young-adult students of Torah, for b?nai mitzvah students, and for cantors, rabbis, and Jewish educators of all denominations. Like the original edition, it includes an explanation of the tradition and a description of the practice of chanting, with all its regional variations and grammatical rules. There is detailed instruction, with musical notation, on chanting of Torah, and shorter instructions for chanting the haftarah, the megillot, and readings for the High Holy Days. Joshua Jacobson, professor of music and conductor of the acclaimed Boston-based Zamir Chorale, has been Torah chanting since he was 10 years old. That life-long experience, combined with an unquenchable desire to reconnect the art of cantillation with the most convincing and accurate treatment of the ancient text possible, led him to create this indispensable teaching tool. Using Jacobson?s highly acclaimed approach, the ancient words come alive in a new, deeply emotional and most accurate way.
