Emotion in
Choral Singing explores
what it truly takes to
experience the
transcendent power of
choral music and achieve
genuine emotional
connection between
composer, performer, and
listener. With unmatched
detail and authority,
legendary conductor
Jameson Marvin surveys
the history of singing,
effective rehearsal,
score study, repertoire
selection, and the
relationship between a
composer’s
intentions, music
notation, and expression.
Specifically, this book
looks at six
complementary areas:
Musical Gesture and
Emotion: A Guide to
Teaching and Performing
The Historical Roots of
Singing: Notation and
Expression Performing
Polyphony in the 21st
Century Style and
Expression in Renaissance
Choral Performance The
Conductor's Process
Mastery of Choral
Ensemble A particularly
noteworthy feature of
this book is its emphasis
on polyphony, which,
Marvin reminds us,
encourages an individual
expressivity and
musicality in singers
that can be applied to
all styles of choral
music, making it as
relevant and vital today
as ever. Links to
recordings included
within this book provide
a range of examples from
throughout
Marvin’s career.
Emotion in Choral Singing
offers a new perspective
on the choral art. It is
chock-full of practical
ideas, tips, and wisdom
that will empower and
inspire choral directors
and musicians of all
levels to achieve
authentic emotional
connection in their work.
