Repertoire Forum: Emily Dickinson

THREE-PART MIXED “Hope” Cynthia Gray (Heritage) Medium Easy Gray captures the lyricism of “Hope,” which is perhaps Dickinson’s most well-known poem. It has a wonderfully expressive piano accompaniment and the ranges work well for developing voices. Homophonic textures make this an accessible piece for younger singers. With such a famous text, don’t be afraid to spend time exploring its meaning with your students.

in opposition to the aesthetic of what the choir needs.

This is an expressive setting of an emotionally powerful text. Lush harmonies and rich dissonances portray the loss of a former love. Farnell switches between unison and polyphonic textures. The flowing triplets in the piano part ensure a sense of forward motion. Farnell’s composition works well for developing voices as it is both accessible yet expressive. Students will especially enjoy the climactic use of suspensions. “If You Were Coming in the Fall” Eugene Butler (Heritage) Medium Easy Butler captures the beauty of Dickinson’s poem.

firmly believe they can exist harmoniously, and to that point, let us examine some of the technical aspects of singing in popular music for both boys and girls. One exercise that starts creating the type of coordination needed for both traditional and modern choral styles is known as the pharyngeal voice, which dates back to the Bel Canto period, where it was called, “Voce Firingea.” For those who are unfamiliar with it, the pharyngeal voice can initially seem foreign and strange. However, it can serve as the missing link between pop and classical-oriented vocal studies. When taking on a role in the school’s musical theater production or a solo in a more pop-oriented song, many younger female singers struggle with the ability to successfully connect out of chest voice. There is either not enough chest voice involved (lack of thyroarytenoid involvement), which makes it sound too heady for the style, or the overuse of chest voice, with too much air pressure (subglottal pressure) building up under the vocal cords, which leads to strain, pitch problems, and usually an uncoordinated flip into a falsetto-based head voice at c#5. It is the second manner of use that also creates vocal health issues for younger females that like to belt but in a potentially hazardous manner. This condition of over-pressurized chest voice is also a common occurrence in young male singers. The lack of mixed voice in a male will also produce strain, and will severely limit their top range. A lot of younger males who have been classified as bari-

Columns

“Let Down the Bars, O Death” Samuel Barber (G. Schirmer) Medium Advanced Although quite brief, this hymnlike composition is stunning. The homophonic texture produces a calm, serene, setting. Scored for unaccompanied voices, “Let Down the Bars, O Death” has some unexpected harmonic shifts, which can pose some challenges in performance. However, the dramatic text and clearly emotional setting translate into many choral ensembles. Programming this piece would expose students to two great American masters: Emily Dickinson and Samuel Barber.

The female singer needs to learn to mix the voice (at around Bflat 4) and then create a coordinated connection into head voice at around e5. When this happens the quality of the mix is much more chest dominated than in classical singing, and the head voice seamlessly blends with the chest voice. If this sounds a bit familiar, it is. You are really getting the female voice to coordinate more like a male’s. Male voices connect from chest to head without

“Will There Really Be a Morning” Victor C. Johnson (Heritage) Medium Easy Victor C. Johnson’s original setting of this text is also available for SATB voices. The piece is majestic; it uses flowing lines, suspensions, and unexpected harmonies. Johnson’s setting captures the text’s sense of urgency. To hear male singers perform this piece with expressivity and heart would certainly be a fine musical experience.

Stand Up and Be Heard Dinah Menger’s high school choral program in Arlington, Texas is huge. Boasting 11 ensembles and over 300 students, the choirs of Arlington High School have received national attention as a part of a district recognized as one of the “Best Communities for Music Education” by the NAMM Foundation. And they aren’t alone. “It is an honor to bring music to our students in Washoe County,” said Terry Thompson, choir director at Galena High School, in a recent press release. Galena High School is part of Nevada’s Washoe ISD, another district named one of the “Best Communities for Music Education.” Thompson continues, “Having received this distinction once again this year is a testament to the hard work of our students, faculty, and administration. Students who excel in music are able to realize dreams and accomplish great things, musically and academically.” In all, 166 districts and 10 schools were honored as the “Best Communities for Music Education” in 2011 as a result of a survey conducted by the NAMM Foundation. While these communities share strong scholastic arts participation and community involvement, they also have in common educators and administrators who took “Standing up and the time to trumpet their successes and share their stories. While 166 may seem like a drop in the bucket of singing the praises of approximately 15,000 school districts located throughone’s own students, out the U.S., that number also represents about 60 perprogram, and district cent of the applicants for this status – those who submitcan have significant ted the required materials and completed the survey. Lest anyone goes ahead thinking that this distincand long-lasting tion is somehow hollow or less significant because of effects.” the broad acceptance rates, let me assure you, it isn’t. The guidelines are set by researchers at the University of Kansas, and the rubric for determining the cutoff line for this designation was formulated to specifically and accurately reflect a truly elite musical community without relying on vagaries like competitive results or affluence. In fact, a better conclusion to draw from the high success rate is that perhaps it is primarily educators and administrators who really have their act together that even take the time to fill out this web-based survey and compile the detailed information required to be recognized. It’s also worth noting that the NAMM Foundation’s BCME program is just one of many out there looking promote arts in schools; The Grammy Foundation, Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation, and a host of other foundations and institutions are also looking to spread the good word about the successes happening in music classrooms across the country. As most educators already know, standing up and singing the praises of one’s own students, program, and district can have significant and long-lasting effects. Recognition by a foundation, a local newspaper, or even members of the community can boost student participation and prove invaluable when budgets and schedules are being made. And for other tools to boost your program, take a look through this special Choral Director’s Resource Guide; be sure to seek out the organizations and companies listed within to help you achieve all of your program’s goals.

The announcement of the 2012 Best Communities for Music Education campaign comes during a crucial time as school districts nationwide finalize budgets. The Best Community designation is a distinction worthy of pride, but is also a call to action for local music education advocates to help preserve and potentially expand access to their current music education programs. Each school receiving the “Best Communities” designation scored in the 80th percentile or higher in the survey’s grading process. The complete Best Communities for Music Education roster can be viewed at www.nammfoundation.org.

Some 35 US choral directors visited Cuba in May to participate, along with Cuban colleagues, in a symposium that served to continue exchanges in this field started in 2011 between the two countries. The symposium, held in Havana and part of the International Choral Exchange Program (ICEP), included workshops, concerts, meetings and visits of representatives of the US Association of Choral Directors to the Higher Arts Institute and the National Music School. Participating in the workshops will be seven of the most important Cuban groups, among them the National Choir, the Exaudi Chamber Choir and Schola Cantorum Coralina, the Cubadebate website reported. The program is designed to “develop exchange possibilities for US choral conductors with other countries and bring choral musicians from those countries to the US during the division

Headlines Syracuse Children’s Chorus Hits the One-Year Mark of New Diversity Initiative

A long-running youth choir with a reputation as a trendsetting figure in choral music education, the Syracuse Children’s Chorus recently capped a year operating under a new mission to reach diverse new pockets of students throughout the region. The chorus was recently take over by Stephanie Mowery, who began pursuing her new goal for the group by partnering with the Imagine Syracuse Young Musicians Project, an organization run out of the Cathedral Academy in Pompei, N.Y. That program, which is aimed at daily classical music training for young inner-city students, was based on the world-famous music/community service program in Venezuela, El Sistema. Before becoming artistic director of the SCC last year, Mowery had worked as director of children’s and youth music in Pasadena, California. She’s also worked with several other choral programs, including conducting a student ensemble in New York City in performing Michael Gordon’s piece “Exalted” with accompaniment by the renowned string quartet, JACK Quartet (the performance was given a rave review from the New York Times’ Anthony Tommasini). The SCC wrapped up its 2011-2012 season this spring with a concert that combined its chorus of nearly 150 members with 17 vocalists and drummers from Imagine Syracuse, a collaboration dubbed “Visions of Peace.” To learn more, visit www.syracusechildrenschorus.org.

Zipcar, Ford Grant $300,000 to Choral Students

Zipcar and Ford Motor Company recently announced the conclusion of the first year of their grant program, “Students with Drive.” The companies donated a total $300,000 to student organizations at universities across the US. Choral Activities at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) was recognized last Monday as the grand prize winner.

During the Students with Drive grant scheme, which was introduced last October, Zipcar and Ford provided free Zipcar memberships and driving credits to student organizations at eligible colleges and universities to support their campus and local community activities. Five in every category – student life, athletics, community service, arts and academics – were awarded $5,500 each in Zipcar credits every month. The automobile companies also recognized ten runner-ups, who were awarded $1,000 each in credits. Choral Activities at UCLA is a group of vocal ensembles with an outreach program growing in the community, which serves inner-city schools in the state and throughout the country. It will receive $5,000 in Zipcar credits and $10,000 to support their cause, while another $10,000 will go to UCLA. With the money from Zipcar’s and Ford’s grant scheme, the organization plans to boost its outreach program, which seeks to inspire and encourage students to pursue artistic and musical achievements, as well as higher education. The grand prize will go to providing honor choirs, free clinics and quarterly choral outreach concerts in participating schools and on campus.

Performance: Technique

Finding the Pharyngeal Voice By Randy Buescher

t is with great honor that I write to a community of choral directors, the gatekeepers of many young careers. As you probably already know, the

musical aspirations of many members of your chorus fall outside of the realm of classically-based music, in-

cluding musical theater or other forms of popular music. The aesthetic needed for these genres can often be in opposition to the aesthetic of what the choir needs. Must these needs be exclusive or can they coexist? I firmly believe they can exist harmoniously, and to that point, let us examine some of the technical aspects of singing in popular music for both boys and girls. One exercise that starts creating the type of coordination needed for both traditional and modern choral styles is known as the pharyngeal voice, which dates back to the Bel Canto period, where it was called, “Voce Firingea.” For those who are unfamiliar with it, the pharyngeal voice can initially seem foreign and strange. However, it can serve as the missing link between pop and classical-oriented vocal studies. When taking on a role in the school’s musical theater production or a solo in a more pop-oriented song, many younger female singers struggle with the ability to successfully connect out of chest voice. There is either not enough chest voice involved (lack of thyroarytenoid involvement), which makes it sound too heady for the style, or the overuse of chest voice, with too much air pressure (subglottal pressure) building up under the vocal cords, which leads to strain, pitch problems, and usually an uncoordinated flip into a falsetto-based head voice at c#5. It is the second manner of use that also creates vocal health issues for younger females that like to belt but in a potentially hazardous manner. This condition of over-pressurized chest voice is also a common occurrence in young male singers. The lack of mixed voice in a male will also produce strain, and will severely limit their top range. A lot of younger males who have been classified as bari10

tones or basses could actually blossom into tenors, once they find their mixed voice and connection into head. What is the solution to this? The female singer needs to learn to mix the voice (at around B♭4) and then create a coordinated connection into head voice at around e5. When this happens the quality of the mix is much more chest dominated than in classical singing, and the head voice seamlessly blends with the chest voice. If this sounds a bit familiar, it is. You are really getting the female voice to coordinate more like a male’s. Male voices connect from chest to head without

a break, if the middle or mixed voice is mastered. Females are capable of doing the same thing. Male singers need to induce mixed voice at somewhere around D4-E♭4. When younger male singers try to sing something out of the classical realm, they usually start singing on the call of the voice (a polite term for yelling) because they are pulling pure chest up into the area where a mixed voice or connected head tone should be used. While this may be satisfying to the singer, it is not to the audience or to their vocal cords. The culprit of this is usually too much air pressure, and vowels that are going wide. Vowels (in the male and female voice) at the point where they are approaching mixed voice need to narrow, not widen. For example /o/ takes on a hint of /u/ with the end result sounding like /o/ the way it would be pronounced in Minnesota. This may sound odd to the singer, but to the audience, it sounds very speech like. Open vowels absolutely need to narrow as they come out of the chest. Narrower versions of open vowels promote vocal fold lengthening and thinning via cricothyroid involvement, balance the air pressure below and above the vocal cords, and realign the formants (pockets of acoustic strength in the overtone series) to make them sound speech like. Not only does this produce a wellbalanced voice, it makes the text intelligible. Once this is accomplished, the singer can then create different colors in the voice that fit the style or genre of the role or piece. This is accomplished by modifying the vocal tract in length and width. When the female singer has mastered this, even the more difficult high belt roles can be accomplished with ease, while not giving way to vocal issues such as laryngitis, a problem many younger female singers encounter when attempting to take on music that in some ways is contrary to their typical experience or training. When the male singer does this, genre hopping is very easy. The sound of the pharyngeal voice is often described as bright, brassy, or witchy in nature. By imposing a “witchy” quality on voice and using phonemes such as /ne/ or /nae/, the female singer experiences a fully connected, acousti-

Repertoire Forum: Emily Dickinson

Choral Settings

to Emily Dickinson’s Poetry

By John C. Hughes

ickinson’s poetry easily lends itself to music. Her themes of love, devotion, and loneliness have inspired many composers. Here, I’ve collected some of my favorite settings of Emily Dickinson’s works. It’s a diverse group of pieces, ranging from loud and raucous to flowing and lyrical

or even quiet and reflective. I hope you enjoy exploring these pieces, as well as finding other settings. Themed concerts revolving around the poetry of Dickinson and other American poets will certainly interest your students and audiences.

UNISON “Bee! I’m Expecting You!” Emma Lou Diemer (Alliance) Easy Emma Lou Diemer expertly sets this whimsical poem that was written in the form of a letter from a fly to a bee. Singers will enjoy the dissonant piano part, as well as the staccato and accented vocal lines. Students can discover changing time sig-

Choral Director’s Annual Resource Guide 2012

natures, repeat signs, and a D.S. marking. This upbeat setting is not only a great way to end a concert, but also has opportunities to discuss form and other music concepts. Enjoy the surprise ending!

TWO-PART TREBLE “Two Poems of Emily Dickinson” Neil Ginsberg (Santa Barbara) Medium Easy This octavo contains settings of “There is no frigate like a book” (unison) and “I never saw a moor” (two-part). Each piece is rather short but, they are both musically satisfying. Ginsberg writes well for young voices. Choirs will enjoy the interesting piano part and the rhythmicality of this setting.

“Will There Really Be a ‘Morning’?” Craig Hella Johnson (Alliance) Easy Craig Hella Johnson, the esteemed conductor of Conspirare, sets this poem with great sensitivity. His setting is simply beautiful. The two parts work well in parallel harmony, especially with the flowing piano accompaniment. The expressive melody will make for a poignant moment in any concert or festival.

SSA “Heart, We Will Forget Him!” Laura Farnell (Hal Leonard) Easy This is an expressive setting of an emotionally powerful text. Lush harmonies and rich dissonances por-

forward motion. Farnell’s composition works well for developing voices as it is both accessible yet expressive. Students will especially enjoy the climactic use of suspensions. “If You Were Coming in the Fall” Eugene Butler (Heritage) Medium Easy Butler captures the beauty of Dickinson’s poem. His use of duet structures works well, but the musical climax is reached through full, rich sonorities. Butler uses the piano extensively in this setting; as the piece develops, the piano part becomes more intricate. The meaningful text, interesting harmonic language, and climactic moments will be enjoyed by both audiences.

TTBB “Will There Really Be a Morning” Victor C. Johnson (Heritage) Medium Easy Victor C. Johnson’s original setting of this text is also available for SATB voices. The piece is majestic; it uses flowing lines, suspensions, and unexpected harmonies. Johnson’s setting captures the text’s sense of urgency. To hear male singers perform this piece with expressivity and heart would certainly be a fine musical experience.

SATB “Heart! We Will Forget Him!” James Mulholland (Colla Voce) Medium A mournful, yet lush setting of a poem about loss. Mulholland uses

chromaticism to show pain and anguish. Scored for piano and horn, the instruments add a powerful sense of richness to the piece. Typical of a piece by Mulholland, “Heart! We Will Forget Him!” comes to a crashing climax – something the choir will look forward to singing. It is also available in TTBB and SSA voicings. “The Moon is Distant from the Sea” David N. Childs (Santa Barbara) Medium David N. Childs set this text to a haunting melody. Childs paces the work by building and releasing harmonic tension, divisi, tempi, and dynamics. His attention to detail enables the performers to convey the text’s meaning. Although not an easy piece, choirs will enjoy the rehearsal process and be rewarded in the end. Childs has alsorecently released an SSAA version. “Let Down the Bars, O Death” Samuel Barber (G. Schirmer) Medium Advanced Although quite brief, this hymnlike composition is stunning. The homophonic texture produces a calm, serene, setting. Scored for unaccompanied voices, “Let Down the Bars, O Death” has some unexpected harmonic shifts, which can pose some challenges in performance. However, the dramatic text and clearly emotional setting translate into many choral ensembles. Programming this piece would expose students to two great American masters: Emily Dickinson and Samuel Barber.

CAN A BETTER CHAIR HELP DEVELOP A BETTER MUSICIAN? Introducing the new Nota conBRIO™ Posture Chair from Wenger!

A design that responds: An innovative new design that flexes, allowing motion in the hips, trunk and spine. The result: more dynamic play, improved blood flow, and more focused attention.

Based on the same back and seat design as our traditional Nota chair.

Scan with your smart phone to see the conBRIO in action.

Perfect playing posture: conBRIO (like all our posture chairs) improves musician posture for better airflow, greater comfort, and improved performance.

Stack and store: Open front:

conBRIO stacks just like our other chairs and can stack with our standard Nota 4-leg chairs. They easily store on our Move & Store Cart.

for unobstructed foot placement and better range of motion.

Nota conBRIO™ is the next generation of Wenger Posture Chairs and the first chair to give music students the undeniable advantages of dynamic seating. Nota conBRIO flexes with the student, creating a direct kinetic connection to the chair and for the first time a fluent foundation that encourages aspiring musicians to engage in the music they’re playing. Instead of stiff, static performances, Nota conBRIO frees students to feel the music – and wait until you see what that does for their focus and enthusiasm. So, can a better chair help develop a better musician? Nota conBRIO is already doing it. Are you ready to put your students in the seats that move them to create better music? Your Wenger representative is a specialist in helping programs choose their own perfect fit, making sure students are always in perfect position to succeed. Please call us today.

NOW IT’S YOUR TURN! DCINY, a concert production company with the mission of “The Art of Performance, The Power of Education”, will handle all of the details of your concert experience while allowing you the freedom to focus on the music and travel as you wish (with or without travel assistance). Audition recordings and proposals for creative programming are being accepted NOW for upcoming seasons. Join the roster that includes special guest conductors and guest artists like Eric Whitacre, Karl Jenkins, Rene Clausen, Jonathan Willcocks, Francisco Nunez, Rollo Dilworth, Geoffrey Boers, and many of the finest choral ensembles from around the world. What people are saying about the DCINY Experience: Director Timothy Seelig (San Francisco, CA): “DCINY is the most organized, thoughtful, amazing group with whom I have ever worked. I have heard from many of the singers who have immediately said, ‘When can we do this again?’ followed by, ‘We’ll never go without DCINY again!’” Director Bradley Ellingboe (Albuquerque, MN): “It was my pleasure to work with DCINY as the University of New Mexico choral program gave the New York City premiere of Rene Clausen’s Requiem. We found the entire staff of DCINY to be friendly, courteous and professional throughout all our dealings. The orchestra was first-class and we had a nearly sold out house in Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall. It was an excellent experience from start to finish.”

Our work is widely used by choirs, universities, schools, churches and cathedrals in most countries of the world, but chiefly in North America and Europe. We try to make our rehearsal training aids to be accessible to everyone from individuals to whole choirs in a cost effective way. Our aim is to provide a means of learning the notes in a manner that is easy to grasp and enjoyable, providing CDs and downloads with the music having a specific voice highlighted on piano for choirs, and on wind instruments for soloists. By continual listening to the notes, learning them in advance and identifying them with the score, the listener can prepare themselves to sing their part competently from the start. Every purchase carries a license to copy our recording to members of their choir without further cost. Choirs can benefit by the discount scheme that is automatically applied according to the value purchased. www.noteperfect.com.

New Products Tone Tiles from Acoustics First

As a follow up to the recent PhaseFOAM systerm, the Acoustics First design team has invented a new wall panel system named Tone Tiles. Tone Tile acoustical panels are now ready to be shipped and deployed into any application requiring sound control. The white soft drywall texture appearance of the tile allows users to install them right out of the box or paint with a matte finish spray paint to complement colors on site. These sound absorbing panels are covered with a paintable / printable finish, allowing you to match any design scheme. The unique 2’x1’ size of the panels allows useres to create diverse wall tile patterns and mount around existing room obstructions. Optional 2” Stand-Off Mounting Brackets further acoustical control by creating an air gap, increasing absorption and improving low frequency response. The 2” space behind the panels also presents an opportunity for back lighting effects. Employing optional Corner Mounting Clips permits the installer to construct one foot wide or two foot wide custom bass traps in room corners.

Cubik Speakers from Palo Alto Audio

www.paloaltoaudio.com 44

Ghostly Psalms is a 50-minute live performance for large chorus, organ, and unusual instruments that evokes the ruined abbeys, streams of consciousness, and planetary motions of composer Philip Blackburn’s days as a Cambridge chorister. The album’s music has roots in experimental composers such as Oliveros, Partch, Brant, Ives, and Ligeti as well as English Tudor music. It includes the raucous piece “Gospel Jihad,” which pits two rival choirs against each other – one distand a tranquil, the other spitting fire and brimstone based on gospel hymn texts. This piece is performed (with choreography) by the Choir of Clare College, Cambridge. Blackburn mixes powerful choir traditions with esoteric instrumentation on this, the first Innova album devoted entirely to his original music. www.innova.mu

Designed by Inno Design (winners of the Red-dot, International Forum of Design, Good Design and Idea awards) these speakers feature lossless Full-digital USB streaming and fulldigital amplification technology. The Cubik uses a high-end Danish designed Peerless speaker unit that is rarely found in computer speakers. The 2.5” metal cone full range driver produces unbelievable bass and crisp high frequency sound comparable to multi-way speaker systems.

Chiming in Tune “My middle school students (especially non-instrumentalists) need lots of practice singing their scales in tune, so I give them tone chimes for each step in their scale. I ask them to arrange them properly, then play them with a mallet while they sing, matching pitches, on solfege syllables. Later on (especially if they are practicing for region choir auditions) they try it while sustaining the vowel ‘ah.’ And finally, they do it without the chimes.” Marilyn Rabbai West Deptford Middle School West Deptford School, N.J.
