Par HAENDEL GEORG FRIEDRICH. Messiah occupies a unique position in Handel ’s work. Even if it does not represent the absolute zenith – several other oratorios could challenge it in this respect – its strongly universal character and directness of expression, which appeal to men of all creeds, make it the most renowned work in the whole of the composer’s monumental output. That this oratorio is unquestionably a work of individual character is shown by all its features: its material, which presents liturgical traditions alongside popular elements; its structure, which combines an ever-changing variety of elements from opera, cantata, concerto and anthem; its musicalorganization, which at once unifies and dramatically juxtaposes the various styles. All are united in an extraordinary manner, with great artistry, most accomplished technique and superb invention.

This book is part of an Ebook , an online learning environment app, which contains digital tools like instructions, 3-step video's, scores and extra features. The theme of this Ebook is Mother Earth and Father Time based on a poem written by Panda van Proosdij. It points out that humanity is part of a greater whole which takes care of us, feeds and supports us if only we love and nurture our beautiful planet in return. Panda van Proosdij invented the word 'Choireography', which means movement created for (choir) singers. She develops motion which enhances the quality of sound and increases the ease of singing. The supportive movements Panda creates also contribute to flow, dynamics, phrasing and pitch and leads to a homogene choir sound. Tom Johnson is a conductor and violinist and has worked with Panda and her method 'From Voice and Physique to Choireography' for quite some years now. He has experienced the work as a singer and conductor and believes strongly in this way of involving the whole body in singing and approaching music from the embodied learning point of view. Tom and Panda will guide you through this joyful journey of musical embodied learning. What the body learns, the body never forgets. / Date parution : 2022-03-05/ Recueil / Choeur Mixte
