Growth in the Choral Tone

Abstract:

This module represents a discussion of the concept of growth in the choral tone, sometime also referred to as stretching the tone.. It allows for warmth in the sound of the choir and for a tone that seems to ride on the breath easier. It comes from an open throat and a relaxed jaw. The concept provides for a forward movement to the phrase and for a lyric sound with the choir. Several examples are given to assist in the development of this tonal concept.
