n The Choral Warm-Up: Accompanied Canons
for ChoirsJames Jordan & Roger Ames.
This addition to the successful Choral Warm-Up
series provides one of the most important tools
in teaching elements of choral intonation: canons.
By singing canons, the ensemble can develop
(often for the first time) listening skills that require
"listening to someone other than yourself." These
modal canons extend the listening even further
by adding harmonically supportive and enriching
accompaniments. Choir directors seeking to
improve the musicianship, vocal skills and
intonation of their singers will find these modal
canons to be an outstanding addition to their library
of warm-ups!
