Recenzii
’... valuable for those interested in delving deeper into the study of conducting and the social and cultural issues that lead people to join the musical ensembles they do.’ Classical Music ’In this very well researched book, the relationship between conductor and choir is examined [...] from the perspective of gesture, meaning and across a variety of cultures.’ Singing
Descriere
It is a truism in teaching choral conducting that the director should look like s/he wishes the choir to sound. But how can these forms of physical communication be explained? Do they belong to a pre-cultural realm of primate social bonding, or do they rely on the context and conventions of a particular choral culture? Is body language an inherent part of musical performance styles, or does it come afterwards, in response to music? This book explores these questions at both theoretical and practical levels. Its findings will be of interest both to those engaged in the study of music as a cultural practice, and to practitioners involved in a choral conducting context that increasingly demands fluency in a variety of styles.
