This book of versatile, pedagogically based choral warm-ups helps conductors take full advantage of this important time in every rehearsal, providing tools for assessment, musicianship, and ensemble unity at the same time singers are warming up their voices. The exercises in Aligning Voices are organized into nine chapters, each focusing on a different area of choral technique: Rhythm Brilliance Intonation Balance Dynamics Consonants Beginning Consonants Diphthongs and Ending Consonants Vowels Each warm-up contains two or more parts, allowing the director to work toward improving choral sound in a texture similar to that of the repertoire. Moreover, author Dean Luethi provides every warm-up in three voicings—SATB, SSAA, and TTBB—and sequentially organizes them by difficulty level. In addition, each section begins by defining the objective for each exercise and offering practical solutions for many of the common challenges choirs face in each area. A companion student edition that contains only the music notation for each warm-up exercise is also available (G-9692S). These exercises go well beyond simply warming up the voice. This resource is a must-have for all choral directors looking to make the most of their warm-up time. Dean Luethi is Associate Professor and Director of the School of Music at Washington State University. In addition to his work at the university, he is a frequently sought after conductor, adjudicator, and clinician, and he has been published in the Choral Journal and Music Educators Journal.

Thank you, Michael, for offering your years of experience and your love for music making with this informative, happy guide. I know it will be of great help to the next generation of choral directors! (From the foreword by Philip Brunelle) Choral directors are frequently called upon to conduct various instrumental ensembles, from a few accompanying instruments to a full orchestra. This very practical and straightforward book provides insights and advice to those who haven’t studied instrumental conducting, who may be new to conducting instrumentalists, or those who are looking to hone or enhance their skills. Throughout this book, Michael Kemp explains the most beneficial ways for a choral conductor to hire, work with, and lead instrumentalists. The different approach needed to guide instrumental ensembles of varying skill levels is presented clearly and effectively. Helpful and perceptive accounts from Kemp’s wide-ranging experience as a conductor illuminate the material. Useful sample seating chart of various instrumental combinations are also included. Michael E. Kemp is the author of significant training books for choral directors and voice teachers. His goal is to pass on accessible, scholarly concepts to choir directors to enhance their ensembles. A conductor, choral clinician, author, composer, voice teacher, and violist, he is also the founding conductor of Philadelphia’s Academy Chorale and Orchestra.

'Astutuli' are the cheeky super-bright people who get taken all too easily by a clever con-man. Nobody wants to be the dumb one; thus, the audience first lose a healthy sense of truth, then they lose their clothes and their purses and eventually all their dignity. 'Everything is make-believe!' shouts the entertainer before disappearing with his accomplice and the loot. It's a rascal's tale, a story of deception, which is both fascinating and amusing. But behind all that - and unnoticeable until the very end - we find deceit, spoon-feeding and theft. All this is presented in Carl Orff's 'rootsy' and powerful Bavarian style - both linguistically and musically. - This recent DVD edition 'Carl Orff' presents a new view of the significant 20th-century composer Carl Orff (1895-1982).

Orff's Bavarian piece is about the love affair and eventual marriage which is not befitting their social positions of Duke Albrecht III and Agnes Bernauer, the beautiful daughter of a barber-surgeon from the city of Augsburg. Albrecht's father, Duke Ernst, feels that this marriage jeopardizes rightful succession and has Agnes declared a witch and drowned in the Danube River. Duke Albrecht III founded the Andechs Monastery in 1455 and is buried in the conventual church where Carl Orff is laid to rest as well. - This recent DVD edition 'Carl Orff' presents a new view of the significant 20th-century composer Carl Orff (1895-1982).

The director and film maker Peider A. Defilla devotes himself to Carl Orff again: WERGO is now going to release his film 'Oedipus der Tyrann' based on a production of the Darmstadt State Theatre. This DVD edition 'Carl Orff' presents a new view of the significant 20th-century composer Carl Orff (1895-1982). - According to the Delphic Oracle, Oedipus, ruler of Thebes, can only save his city from doom if he solves the murder of his predecessor Laius. In the course of the investigation, Oedipus himself is accused of regicide and realises that several years earlier, he unwittingly killed Laius, his own father, and married Jocasta, his mother. Thereupon, Oedipus blinds himself.

Print on Demand product is as close to the appearance of the original product as possible. Anthems include color covers and are stapled. Choral books also feature the original 4-color covers, and all books are perfect bound (flat spine) with no staples, regardless of page count. There is a subtle difference in print quality because of the scanning process, so POD titles may not have the same clarity when compared side by side to a press-printed book, but the difference is negligible and will not hinder the user.
