Rehe arsals should be structured in a way that trusts that human beings are truly the miracle workers and that if we work on being human, the magic of this thing called “moral acoustic” will resonate in a powerful, honest, and compelling way. For at the very end of the day, our goal in harnessing the energy contained in a moral acoustic is to create the most honest and direct communicative voice possible—a voice that can change lives and enrich our humanness just by hearing it, feeling it, and being touched by its ‘moral acoustic.’ —James Jordan, from Chapter 4 This volume is a continuation of the journey James Jordan began in his now iconic book The Musician’s Soul. In The Moral Acoustic of Sound, Jordan explores and defines those factors that create a “moral acoustic”—th ose human resonances among and between musicians. This book delves into the nature of authenticity and honesty in choral sound and how conductors and teachers, through these new understandings, can draw forth that which is living within each ensemble of musicians no matter their age or experience. Using the power of metaphor, this book attempts to provide answers to unlock the magic and mysteries in music making and human expression. Specific to the journey of The Moral Acoustic of Sound: Understanding trust between and among musicians The relationship of intonation and color as a function of moral acoustic Humility and its role in music making Thatching within an ensemble Enfleshment as a vital part of music making Metaphors that guide conductors to deeper listening Fostering generosity in music making Grammy-nominated conductor and music psychologist James Jordan is Professor and Senior Conductor at Westminster Choir College in Princeton, NJ, where he conducts the acclaimed Westminster Williamson Voices and the Westminster Schola Cantorum.

This five-movement work for piano, string quintet, oboe, horn, mezzo and soprano soloists, and SATB choir was commissioned in 2020 by Gary Packwood, director of choral studies at Mississippi State University, and dedicated to the Mississippi State University State Singers for the opening of the new music building. The piece is based on Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood by the English Romantic poet William Wordsworth. These writings, along with others, represent the greatest lyrics of his maturity. In these poems Wordsworth presents a fully developed yet morally flexible picture of the relationship between human beings and the natural world. When Wordsworth completed this work in 1804, he called it simply Ode, and the poem carried this title when it was published in 1807. In 1815, when the poem was republished, Wordsworth expanded the title to Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood. Intimations means hints, inklings, or indirect suggestions. Track Listing: Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood The glory and freshness of a dream Ye blessed creatures, I have heard the call Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting Full soon thy Soul shall have her earthly freight Of the eternal silence A cappella works by Michael John Trotta Justitiae Domini Ubi Caritas Dies Irae.
