Giovanni Paisiello/arr. Liebergen. Set entirely on
"Alleluia," this trio from the opera "Nina" reveals
Paisiello's ability to compose tuneful melodies and
simple harmonies with traditional cadences. It's a
straightforward round, requiring little more than a
one-octave range from any voice part.

us lights the way..."

4 The Cloths of HeavenVictor Johnson. One of
Yeats' best-loved poems from his third volume of
poetry, The Wind Among the Reeds, is exquisitely
set in this thoughtful choral work of romance and
dreams. Careful painting of the text throughout
creates a musical landscape for developing choirs
as well as more advanced ensembles. "Tread
softly, you tread on my dreams." This is truly
stunning! Highly recommended!

n Come and Be With MeHerb Frombach/arr.
Vicki Tucker Courtney. Lyrical melodic lines and
lush harmonies invite the treble choir to share the
love and life found in the beauty of nature. The
music captures the imagery in the text: "See the
cloudless sky and hear the early sounds of spring,
come be with me when the winged whimbrel
sings..." Singable, with easy voice leading and a
very effective piano accompaniment, this is very
nice for spring!

VIDEO MASTER
CLASSES
Body, Mind, Spirit, Voice—Anton Armstrong &
Andre Thomas.
In September 2002, an extraordinary
musical event took place. At the 14th annual National
Choral Conference, hosted by the American Boychoir,
two of the world's top choral directors worked with young
members of The American Boychoir and the Newark Boys'
Chorus and made music together before an audience
of choral musicians from around the world. Body, Mind,
Spirit, Voice shows how Dr. Anton Armstrong of St. Olaf
College in Minnesota and Dr. Andre Thomas of Florida
State University melded this group of young people
into an amazing musical instrument. This marvelous
video illustrates how the arts can inspire and instruct,
helping young people to learn the values of hard work,
responsibility and self-confidence. (90 minutes)

studio voice teachers, and young singers the opportunity

process might be approached within the choral ensemble.

The Collaborative Choral Rehearsal (Inspiring
Creative Musicianship)—Dr. Leslie Guelker-Cone.
This excellent DVD stresses the importance of involving
choir members in the rehearsal process and the reasons
behind the director's musical choices, as opposed to the
choir merely following the director's instructions. It features
multi-sensory, student-centered rehearsal techniques that
encourage the development of critical thinking and musical
problem-solving skills. Incorporating a combination of
kinesthetic, cognitive, and affective approaches, students
make musical decisions about topics including choral
tone, musical phrasing, thematic balance, dramatic intent,
and poetic meaning. Using a variety of learning modalities
results in more fully engaged students and also produces
stronger, more creative musicians who will be better
prepared if their goal is to become tomorrow's conductors
and teachers. Topics include: The Big Picture; Color
and Character; Motivic and Textual Structure; Pulse and
Meter; Telling the Story; Phrase Length and Shape and
Formal Hierarchy and Macroshape. This DVD is not just a
lecture, but an interactive experience with the teacher and
her students, giving you the feeling that you have been
personally invited into the choral rehearsal in progress with
the Western Washington University Concert Choir.
