Snell II, Jon M. Stapleton, Smith R.K. Waylett, Richard S. Webb   Musicianship: Improvising in Band and Orchestra provides philosophical, theoretical, and practical tools that have been desperately needed for band and orchestra teachers hoping to bring improvisation to their students. As Maud Hickey states in the Foreword, Improvisation should be as natural as drawing freely with crayons. Yet improvisation has remained elusive from most band and orchestra programs. This remarkable book contains practical lesson plans as well as all the necessary background information to help conductors incorporate improvisation into their work, with ensembles of any size or ability level. The lesson plans contain step-by-step instructions, including outlining prerequisites and detailed procedures that are flexible enough to apply to ensembles at a wide range of skill levels. Topics covered include: improvisation readiness strategies, working with large ensembles, a classroom case study, and teaching in a diverse environment. This book, edited by David A. Stringham and H. Christian Bernhard, is the latest in a pioneering series with dozens of other contributors. The Musicianship series editor Clint Randles has also produced a companion volume focusing on the equally challenging issue of composition. This important book will help band and orchestra conductors make improvisation a mainstay of their classrooms—as standards mandate—and will, of course, be of benefit to all students.

In addition to celebrating the history of male choirs in the United States, Conducting Men’s Choirs provides a thorough and practical guide for working with TTBB choruses of any age or experience. The chapters by Jerry Blackstone, Jefferson Johnson, and J. Reese Norris display knowledge gained from over seventy years of collective experience. Additionally, Trott has designed the book to be an outstanding repertoire resource and a window to future possibilities through the inclusion of Marques Garrett’s chapter ‘Composing and Arranging for Male Choirs’ and Gary Packwood’s chapter ‘From Entertainment to Social Justice: Examining Men’s Community Choruses in America.’ The content in Conducting Men’s Choirs represents theory and practice that will benefit all conductors of TTBB choruses. —Kevin Fenton     Florida State University Inspired by Debra Spurgeon’s pioneering book Conducting Women’s Choirs, this companion resource, compiled and edited by Donald Trott, brings together the expertise of eighteen acknowledged authorities on men’s choirs. Conducting Men’s Choirs addresses the unique challenges, considerations, and joys of making music with male singers. The book is organized into three major sections, the first of which contains historical essays on male choirs in the United States. The chapters in this section span a range of relevant topics, including glee clubs in colleges and universities, an examination of some of the nation’s most esteemed and accomplished male choirs, and the role of male community choruses in America. The second section explores key aspects of working with male singers that are vital to the success of any conductor of male choirs. Topics addressed include: How to start a male choir and recruit male singers. Working with middle school boys and the developing adolescent voice. Pedagogical considerations for male voices. Procedures for improving intonation. Standing formations. Warm-ups. Women conductors of male choirs. How to arrange and compose for men’s choirs. A thorough discussion of repertoire for men’s choirs rounds out this resource in the book’s third and final section. Chapter authors explore men’s choir repertoire from a variety of angles: Renaissance music, works by Schumann, Canadian repertoire, and the music of Veljo Tormis. Extensive repertoire listings with hundreds of titles for men’s chorus are also provided for quick and easy reference. Conducting Men’s Choirs is essential for anyone working with male choirs in any capacity. Equally suited for novice teachers and seasoned professionals, this collaborative resource is the culmination of decades of experience and wisdom by leaders in the profession. Donald Trott is Director of Choral Activities at the University of Mississippi (Oxford), where he conducts the Concert Singers, Men’s Glee, and University Chorus. He is also the director of the graduate program in choral conducting and is past president of the Southern Division of ACDA.

The text of Exsultate Justi in Domino compels the singer to sing with gladness and joy. Many choral compositions feature this text and it is often used in religious settings on feast days such as Easter and All Saints Day. The joyful conversation of the text is especially apparent in the middle section of this piece, as each phrase with one voice part, followed by the other voice part quickly echo and join together for the end of the phrase.With a chorus as catchy as this, students and teachers alike will likely find the melody playing over and over in their heads long after the concert!Latin vowels are pure, meaning there are no diphthongs:A=AW    E=EH     I=EE      O=OH (with AW color)  U=OOUPPER CASE syllables should receive more stress than those that are lower case.Exsultate                             justi          in       Domino,EHk-zool-TAW-t eh    YOO-stee een DOH-mee-nohRejoice, you righteous ones, in the Lord, Alleluia!aw-leh- LOO-yawPraise the Lord! Rectos             decet                   collaudatio.REHK-tohs     DEH-cheht    KOH-lAWoo-DAW-tsee-ohIt is fitting for the upright ones to give praise. Confitemini� �                                    Domino,KOHN-fee-TEH-m ee-nee    DOH-mee-nohAcknowledge the Lord,Cantate                       hodie,            canticum                   novum.kawn-TAW-teh� �   OH-dee-eh  KAWN-tee-koom NOH-voomSing a new song to him today. from Psalm 32:11; Psalm 33: 1-3.
