Description:

This companion video to Evoking Sound: The Choral Rehearsal is a personal master class on conducting and rehearsal technique with James Jordan. Using the Pennsbury High School Chamber Choir as a model, Dr. Jordan illustrates the major points found in The Choral Rehearsal text. The movie cross-references The Choral Rehearsal (Volumes 1 and 2), so those who study this can read further about the highlighted points demonstrated in the books, including:

  • The spirit of the rehearsal
  • Rehearsal preparation and planning
  • How to listen
  • Conducting gesture as a rehearsal technique
  • The accompanist and the rehearsal
  • Skill teaching within the rehearsal
  • How to teach artistic phrasing
  • Rehearsal accountability

James Jordan is recognized and praised from many quarters in the musical world as one of the nation’s preeminent conductors, writers, and innovators in choral music.
