(GI.G-10678). ISBN
9781622776436. Draw
ing from his five decades
of success as a conductor
and educator in the
choral field, Will
Kesling has compiled a
comprehensive choral
methods resource that
addresses every necessary
fundamental for achieving
artistry in the choral
art. Written in clear and
conversational language,
this resource covers:
Building a healthy and
beautiful choral sound
Dealing with vocal issues
Selecting repertoire and
programming concerts
Developing score study
skills and interpretive
insights Understanding
the characteristics of
musical periods and
composers Planning,
preparing for, and
running rehearsals The
Voices I Hear also
explores important but
often overlooked topics,
including a discussion of
performing sacred music
in secular education
settings, techniques for
performing
choral-orchestral works,
choral versus orchestral
conducting, and how to
become a true
“maestro.â€
Individual chapters also
function as standalone
topics of study. A
valuable read for
emerging and seasoned
conductors alike, The
Voices I Hear is an
expert study of the
aesthetic, intellectual,
and practical aspects of
the choral art. Dr. Will
Kesling is Professor of
Choral and Orchestral
Conducting at the
University of Florida,
where he has taught for
two decades. He has
conducted hundreds of
choral ensembles and
nearly fifty of the
world’s finest
symphony orchestras. His
ensembles have received
international attention
for their excellence and
musical expression. Â
Thank you, Dr. Kesling,
for the decade you gave
of yourself to write the
most complete and
comprehensive writing on
the topics of choral
techniques, methods, and
conducting I have seen.
It is in-depth yet
practical, to the point
of being a valuable
resource for both the
young conductors entering
the choral field to the
well-established
professionals. You have
given us a solid
foundation in all
significant areas of the
choral art, including,
among many others, the
production of beautiful
vocal tone, detailed
physical vocal
production, textual and
physical components of
English diction,
repertoire programming,
appropriate style,
interpretation and
phrasing, and a pathway
to successful conducting
of combined choral and
orchestral forces. Your
enormous and highly
successful career, with
worldwide performances
and numerous awards and
honors, has enabled you
to bring validity and
integrity to the entire
writing. —Donald

For more than 50 years,
Dr. Will Kesling has been
and continues to be a
prominent figure and
voice in the
International and
American choral
profession. His new book,
The Voices I Hear, is the
distillation of his long
and distinguished career
as a conductor and choral
music educator. The
driving and consuming
passion throughout
Kesling’s life is
the preparation and
performance of the
world’s rich and
diverse choral and
orchestral repertoire and
the education,
development, and growth
of those who perform and
conduct it. This book is
a summation of a lifetime
immersed in the choral
art and all its many
aspects. It overflows
with insights into the
choral art that will not
only instruct the
beginning conductor but
also will enlighten and
entertain the seasoned
professional conductor
and educator. It is
filled with wit, wisdom,
and practical advice to
all practitioners of the
choral arts. I
enthusiastically
recommend
Kesling’s
enlightening new book as
an important addition to
the choral pedagogy
bibliography and for use
as an invaluable new text
for choral practicum
classes for both graduate
and undergraduate
students. Dr. Kesling has
brought to the choral
profession significant
new insights to all
lovers of the choral art.

Kesling’s book,
The Voices I Hear, is
practical and
philosophical, useful and
inspirational, focused
and comprehensive. The
observations and advice
are based on his vast
personal experiences on
the podium with choirs
and orchestras, and the
book is a monumental
resource for both the
young conductor and the
veteran. Containing a
broad spectrum of musical
styles, composers, and
topics, Kesling’s
direct and practical
writing connects
immediately with
today’s choral
musician. Keep The Voices
I Hear nearby as there
will be many times down
the road where the
information and opinions
in Dr. Kesling’s
book will answer the
questions you have, as
well as the ones you
didn’t even know
to ask! —Jerry

textbook I wish had been
available when I was
beginning my studies. It
is comprehensive in
scope, practical and
helpful in its
suggestions, and, perhaps
most surprising in a book
from an academic,
superbly written in clear
and powerful English.
Kesling speaks with
conviction, clarity, and
polish, and he finds
colorful and memorable
ways of making his points
and presents the material
from the perspective of
one who has done all
these things for decades
at a highly professional
level. I give this volume
the highest possible
recommendation.

Latin - German. On
letting go(Concerning the
selection of the texts)
In the selection of the
texts, I have allowed
myself to be motivated
and inspired by the
concept of 'letting go'.
This appears to me to be
one of the essential
aspects of dying, but
also of life itself. We
humans cling far too
strongly to successful
achievements, whether
they have to do with
material or ideal values,
or relationships of all
kinds. We cannot and do
not want to let go,
almost as if our life
depended on it. As we
will have to practise the
art of letting go at the
latest during our hour of
death, perhaps we could
already make a start on
this while we are still
alive. Tagore describes
this farewell with very
simple but strikingly
vivid imagery: 'I will
return the key of my
door'. I have set this
text for tenor solo. Here
I imagine, and have
correspondingly noted in
a certain passage of the
score, that the
protagonist finds himself
as though 'in an ocean'
of voices in which he is
however not drowning, but
immersing himself in
complete relaxation. The
phenomenon of letting go
is described even more
simply and tersely in
Psalm 90, verse 12: 'So
teach us to number our
days, that we may apply
our hearts unto wisdom'.
This cannot be expressed
more plainly.I have begun
the requiem with a solo
boy's voice singing the
beginning of this psalm
on a single note, the
note A. This in effect
says it all. The work
comes full circle at the
culmination with a repeat
of the psalm which
subsequently leads into a
resplendent 'lux
aeterna'. The
intermediate texts of the
Requiem which highlight
the phenomenon of letting
go in the widest spectrum
of colours originate on
the one hand from the
Latin liturgy of the
Messa da Requiem (In
Paradisum, Libera me,
Requiem aeternam, Mors
stupebit) and on the
other hand from poems by
Joseph von Eichendorff,
Hermann Hesse,
Rabindranath Tagore and
Rainer Maria Rilke.All
texts have a distinctive
positive element in
common and view death as
being an organic process
within the great system
of the universe, for
example when Hermann
Hesse writes: 'Entreiss
dich, Seele, nun der
Zeit, entreiss dich
deinen Sorgen und mache
dich zum Flug bereit in
den ersehnten Morgen'
['Tear yourself way , o
soul, from time, tear
yourself away from your
sorrows and prepare
yourself to fly away into
the long-awaited
morning'] and later: 'Und
die Seele unbewacht will
in freien Flugen
schweben, um im
Zauberkreis der Nacht
tief und tausendfach zu
leben' ['And the
unfettered soul strives
to soar in free flight to
live in the magic sphere
of the night, deep and
thousandfold']. Or Joseph
von Eichendorff whose
text evokes a distant
song in his lines: 'Und
meine Seele spannte weit
ihre Flugel aus. Flog
durch die stillen Lande,
als floge sie nach Haus'
['And my soul spread its
wings wide. Flew through
the still country as if
homeward bound.']Here a
strong romantically
tinged occidental
resonance can be detected
which is however also
accompanied by a
universal spirit going
far beyond all cultures
and religions. In the
beginning was the sound
Long before any sort of
word or meaningful phrase
was uttered by vocal
chords, sounds,
vibrations and tones
already existed. This
brings us back to the
music. Both during my
years of study and at
subsequent periods, I had
been an active
participant in the world
of contemporary music,
both as percussionist and
also as conductor and
composer. My early scores
had a somewhat
adventurous appearance,
filled with an abundance
of small black dots: no
rhythm could be too
complicated, no register
too extreme and no
harmony too dissonant. I
devoted myself intensely
to the handling of
different parameters
which in serial music
coexist in total
equality: I also studied
aleatory principles and
so-called minimal music.I
subsequently emigrated
and took up residence in
Spain from where I
embarked on numerous
travels over the years to
India, Africa and South
America. I spent repeated
periods during this time
as a resident in
non-European countries.
This meant that the
currents of contemporary
music swept past me
vaguely and at a great
distance. What I instead
absorbed during this
period were other
completely new cultures
in which I attempted to
immerse myself as
intensively as possible.I
learned foreign languages
and came into contact
with musicians of all
classes and styles who
had a different cultural
heritage than my own: I
was intoxicated with the
diversity of artistic
potential.Nevertheless,
the further I distanced
myself from my own
Western musical heritage,
the more this returned
insistently in my
consciousness.The scene
can be imagined of
sitting somewhere in the
middle of the Brazilian
jungle surrounded by the
wailing of Indians and
out of the blue being
provided with the
opportunity to hear
Beethoven's late string
quartets: this can be a
heart-wrenching
experience, akin to an
identity crisis. This
type of experience can
also be described as
cathartic. Whatever the
circumstances, my
'renewed' occupation with
the 'old' country would
not permit me to return
to the point at which I
as an audacious young
student had maltreated
the musical parameters of
so-called contemporary
music. A completely
different approach would
be necessary: an
extremely careful
approach, inching my way
gradually back into the
Western world: an
approach which would
welcome tradition back
into the fold, attempt to
unfurl the petals and
gently infuse this
tradition with a breath
of contemporary
life.Although I am aware
that I will not unleash a
revolution or scandal
with this approach, I am
nevertheless confident
as, with the musical
vocabulary of this
Requiem, I am travelling
in an orbit in which no
ballast or complex
structures will be
transported or intimated:
on the contrary, I have
attempted to form the
message of the texts in
music with the naivety of
a 'homecomer'. Harald

you are holding is a
vivid testimony …to
the value of examining
this variety and dynamism
from multiple,
overlapping points of
view …to the value

the value of articulating
wisdom. From the foreword
by John D. Witvliet,
Calvin Institute of
Christian Worship Since
the publication of the
first volume of Readings
in African American
Church Music and Worship,
public and academic
interest in the music and
worship in black churches
has significantly
increased. This second
volume makes available
the most recent
scholarship on
twenty-first-century
developments and trends,
through a representative
number of articles,
essays, and chapters
written by brilliant
musicians, authors, and
theologians of our time.
The list of contributors
includes some of the
finest emerging scholars,
whose voices we will be
hearing for years to
come, as well as
offerings from seasoned
authors, whose research
and writings are well
regarded by peers and the
worshiping community at
large. The significant
contributions—from
names new and
familiar—greatly
broaden the field of
study. The 43 chapters of
this volume are divided
into 7 categories:
Worship and Liturgical
Practices Perspectives on
Praise and Worship
Liturgical Theologies Hip
Hop and/in the Church
Proclamation of the Word
Perspectives on Women and
Gender Hymnody: Sound and
Sense Insightful,
thought-provoking,
challenging,
hopeful—this
volume will be a source
of knowledge, a stimulus
for discussion, and a
call to (re)consider the
many and varied
viewpoints of the African
American church.
