It is a valuable resource for choral conductors, no matter the age or experience of their ensembles. The Anatomy of Tone explores essential aspects of anatomy, physiology, and acoustics, and describes their impact on choral teaching and rehearsal. In addition, this book reviews groundbreaking scientific information on spacing of singers and its effect upon intonation and vocal health. This volume contains pedagogical information pertaining to: Breathing Resonance Formants in the Choral Rehearsal Structuring the Choral Warm-Up The Use of Breath as a Foundation of Expressive Choral Singing The Use of Legato as a Primary Tool in the Choral Rehearsal Choral Spacing for Balanced Resonance Teaching of Specific Vowels and Their Internal Architectures Use of Harmonically Based Warm-Ups Piano Accompanying to Support Good Vocalism and Building Listening Skills   Though knowledge of vocal anatomy/physiology and acoustical theories have existed for centuries, technology now enables singers to see their voices in action, to measure sound pressure levels in performance/rehearsal spaces, and to understand resonance frequencies within the human instrument in ways we never have before. Take advantage of this information! Put it into action to create choirs whose singers do not have to pay the price of over-singing. Enable singers to sing throughout their lifespans with joy and freedom, thereby producing the most exquisite music of which they—and you—are capable. —Kathy Kessler Price, from the Foreword GRAMMY-nominated conductor James Jordan is Professor and Senior Conductor at Westminster Choir College, where he conducts the Westminster Schola Cantorum and the internationally acclaimed Westminster Williamson Voices. Baritone Sean McCarther serves as Assistant Professor of Voice at Westminster Choir College, where he teaches studio voice and voice science. Soprano Kathy Kessler Price is Associate Professor of Voice at Westminster Choir College, where she teaches graduate voice pedagogy courses and applied voice, and directs the Westminster Presser Voice Laboratory.

Songs of the Ice is an orchestral work about ice. In the Arctic region, the ice breathes with the seasons, swelling in winter and shrinking in summer. Its age-old movement sings a song of its own: slowly surging, unrelenting and covering all beneath it. It tinkles and rumbles, squeaks and laments as our ever-warmer climate breaks Nature's time-honored laws, forcing the ice to give way. When I composed the piece, I was expecting our second child, due to be born in the heart of winter when the bitter cold strengthens the ice, making it powerful and solid again, and I was vividly reminded of the time after our first-born. Songs of the Ice also describes the emptiness and reclosing process that begins in a woman's body when she parts company with the life inside her in giving birth.
