Music is the universal language. This we know is true. For us as choral musicians, however, there is an added layer of challenge and opportunity: WORDS! How many times have you heard a chorus sing and thought, “That was beautiful, but I have NO clue what they were singing about!” (Of course, NEVER with your own chorus' performances.) The Language of Music will take you from the most basic tools of delivering text to the overarching and magical communication that exists in choral singing. The book includes accompanying video clips that will guide you to a connection with your audience through your music that will touch everyone: singers and audiences alike!
