(Complete Item Description)

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 Vibrato and Choral Singing

(Complete Item Description)

Abstract:: This module represents a discussion of the use of vibrato in choral singing. References are made to so-called "straight tone" singing that is use by some choirs. Reference is made to the successful St. Olaf choir the early 20th century that used a tone based on an organ sound. This type of tone virtually disappeared in the late 20th century. But, now in the beginning of the 21st century a similar movement is occurring based on an Easter European sound and compositions that use static, tone clusters, creating a new harsher straight tone. Suggestions are made here to assist in creating a warm, lyric, beautiful tone that has a vibrato.
