Download or read book Rounds Plus written by Roger Emerson and published by Hal Leonard Publishing Corporation. This book was released on 2017-05 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Choral Collection). Rounds are wonderful ways to introduce harmony to young singers! However, traditional rounds are often too wide of a range for the changing voice, hence this collection was created with the young male voice in mind. Easy-to-sing ostinatos for the changing male voice accompany 10 familiar rounds sung by treble voices. Each round is presented in two keys to accommodate both the cambiata, mid-voice and new baritone range comfortably. Experiment with other keys until you find your choirs' "sweet spot" vocally. This will give you a good idea of the range and tessitura that will be effective when choosing your choral literature. These unaccompanied rounds may be taught entirely by ear, or duplicated for sight reading purposes. Songs include: Dona Nobis Pacem, Down by the Bay, Heigh Ho Nobody's Home, Jubilate Deo, London's Burning, Music Alone Shall Live, and more. Suggested for grades 6-9.

Download or read book The Book of Voices written by Joseph Zitt and published by . This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In ancient Judaea, a prophet who has lost her memory channels the voices of people from the Hebrew Bible. Seeking to rediscover her true self, Elisheva discovers the unexpected nature of God. Elisheva not only brings forth the voices of the well-known people of the Bible, such as Adam, Abraham, Moses, and King David, but also those whom the Bible quickly passes over. People such as Moab (bastard child of Lot and his daughter), Zimri (who lasted one week as King of Israel), and Jushab-Hesed (a child at the rededication of the temple) speak of moments in their lives, as do women that the Bible did not bother to name: the Wife of Cain, the Daughter of Jephthah, and the Shulammite. The voices cover thousands of years of mythic history, from the creation of the universe to the end of the Prophetic Age. Angels and prophets move through space and time, travel the branching paths of possible histories, step into the world of dreams, and cross the border between life and death. Throughout the lives of those who discover, defend, and oppose the faith in one God, often guided by the workings of a hidden school of prophets, the Sisters of Sarah, they face what it means to be human and to do what's right, as they help people to be better people and help God learn to be a better God.

Download or read book A History of Western Choral Music Volume 2 written by Chester L. Alwes and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-08-03 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Western Choral Music explores the various genres, key composers, and influential works essential to the development of the western choral tradition. Author Chester L. Alwes divides this exploration into two volumes which move from Medieval music and the Renaissance era up to the 21st century. Volume II begins at the transition from the Classical era to the Romantic, with an examination of the major genres common to both periods. Exploring the oratorio, part song, and dramatic music, it also offers a thorough discussion of the choral symphony from Beethoven to Mahler, through to the present day. It then delves into the choral music of the twentieth century through discussions of the major compositional approaches and philosophies that proliferated over the course of the century, from impressionism to serialism, neo-classicism to modernism, minimalism, and the avant-garde. It also considers the emerging tendency towards nationalistic composition amongst composers such as Bartók and Stravinsky, and discusses in great detail the contemporary music of the United States, and Great Britain. Framing discussion within the political, religious, cultural, philosophical, aesthetic, and technological contexts of each era, A History of Western Choral Music offers readers specialized insight into major composers and works while providing a cohesive understanding of choral music's place in Western history.
