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. He is also Artistic Director and Conductor of The Same Stream (thesamestreamchoir.com). He heads two of the leading programs in the world for mentoring conductors, serving as Director of the renowned Westminster Conducting Institute and Co-Director of the Choral Institute at Oxford, held annually at St. Stephen’s House, Oxford, UK.

Maja S. K. Ratkje's A Dismantled Ode To The Moral Value Of Art for 6 Part Chorus.

It was performed under the direction of Leonard Bernstein at a concert to mark the fall of the Berlin Wall, it appears in Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange. Hitler celebrated his birthdays with it, and the government of Rhodesia made it their anthem. And the prisoners in German concentration camps played it. It also figured prominently at Mitterand's 1981 investiture. In 2012, we celebrate the Ode to Joy's 40 years anniversary as National Anthem of the EU.

Die Geschichte von der alten Lokomotive, die aus ihrem Museum 'ausbricht', ihrem Freiheitsdrang im wahrsten Sinne 'freien Lauf' lasst, eingefangen und verurteilt wird und zum Schluss wieder an ihren angestammten Platz im Museum zuruckkehren muss, lebt von der Moral 'Alles auf der Welt hat seine Zeit' - eine im Grunde einfache Schlussfolgerung, die in den Urauffuhrungskritiken auch interpretiert wurde als 'Moral des technischen Fortschritts' und der 'irdischen Verganglichkeit' (L. Wismeyer, Munchner Merkur). Viel wichtiger aber als solche interpretatorischen Ansatze ist, dass Bresgen mit dieser Kantate eine Spielvorlage gelungen ist, die mit ihren mannigfaltigen facherubergreifenden Angeboten (z.B. Kunst- und Werkunterricht; Musikunterricht) gerade fur Schultheatergruppen vielseitige Gestaltungsmoglichkeiten bietet.

Die alte Lokomotive bricht aus ihrem Museum aus, lasst ihrem Freiheitsdrang im wahrsten Sinne 'freien Lauf', wird aber rasch wieder eingefangen und muss zum Schluss an ihren angestammten Platz im Museum zuruckkehren. Die Geschichte lebt von der Moral 'Alles auf der Welt hat seine Zeit' - eine im Grunde einfache Schlussfolgerung, die in den Urauffuhrungskritiken auch als 'Moral des technischen Fortschritts' und der 'irdischen Verganglichkeit' interpretiert wurde. Bresgen hat mit dieser Kantate eine Spielvorlage geschaffen, die mit ihren mannigfaltigen facherubergreifenden Angeboten (z.B. Kunst- und Werkunterricht; Musikunterricht) fur den schulischen Bereich (ab Grundschule) vielseitige Gestaltungsmoglichkeiten bietet. Der Klavierauszug liefert fur diese Zwecke ausfuhrliche Spielanweisungen.
