Getting the Most out of your Amateur Choir
Suggestions for becoming a strong and inspiring leader
while getting out of the way of the MUSIC
Daniel Bara, R&S Chair, Community Choirs
Nearly all conductors of adult community choirs and church choirs engage in the activity
of rehearsing so-called amateur singers for regular concerts and/or musical offerings for
a church service. Many of these singers assume the responsibility of choir membership
in addition to their countless other roles as parents, professionals, community leaders,
volunteers, as well as many other meaningful endeavors. Individual reasons for joining
a community or church choir are widely divergent, but almost always include affection
for music and a love of collaborative singing. Nearly as varied as the range of motiva-
tions for singing, is the level of vocal and musical ability present in these types of
choirs.
Despite the different needs and motivations found within the mixture of singers found in
any amateur choir, the conductors approach to teaching and music-making should re-
main incredibly positive, incredibly energetic, and incredibly professional, and always
with the firm belief that any choirs limitations are found first and foremost in the con-
ductor. If we as conductors believe that any choirs success is completely a product of
our ability to recruit effectively, teach musicianship, teach beautiful singing, and inspire
a commitment to excellence, then we empower ourselves to take responsibility for the
growth and development of all aspects of the ensemble. Beware of the temptation to
blame the budget, the singers, the board of directors, or anyone else for deficiencies that
may lurk in the mirror. My teacher at the University of Michigan, Jerry Blackstone, al-
ways recited to his students, There are no bad choirs, only bad conductors. This is a
tough pill to swallow, but an important part of an excellent conductors philosophy.
I have found that the fundamental ingredients for success that a conductor achieves with
amateur singers are passion, a positive attitude, and most of all, professionalism.
PROFESSIONALISM
While your choir may not be made up of professional singers, there probably is a large
contingent of career professionals in the choir that sing for personal enrichment, social
fulfillment, or religious stewardship. These professionals (teachers, business persons.
doctors, and lawyers) undoubtedly know and respect strong management and interper-
sonal skills, particularly when it comes to efficient use of their time.
Therefore:
Learn what good management skills are and use them.
Meticulously abide by the rehearsal schedule that you set. Avoid going beyond the re-
hearsal time at all costs. When you respect your singers time, they will be more will-
ing to approach choir rehearsals with a professional attitude.
Let your employees (choristers) know what the goals are for a given rehearsal or set of
rehearsals so that they always know where they are heading, and how they are measur-
ing up. As in business, it is important that everyone have a personal stake in achieving
a common goal.
Inform them (teach) what the criteria is (i.e. your expectations) for excellent and pro-
ductive rehearsals, and excellent music-making / performing, and give them the tools
for self evaluation during the rehearsal process. Good singers, like good employees,
want to know how they are being evaluated and want to know how they are measuring
up at all times.

Latin octavo, Daemon Irrepit Callidus (HMC-1537, pub. 1997). You may even consider
it a break-out hit in the choral world. Available in both SATB and TTBB voicings, the
work demonstrates stylistic characteristics that frequently appear in Orbns choral writ-
ing: tonally centric harmonies, energetic rhythms, chromaticism, and lyrical melodic
lines. What you may be surprised to know is that Orbn has a growing body of English
language settings. The earlier English settings - Farewell (HMC 1560, pub. 1997) and
his set of three madrigals all published in 2000, Dramolett (HMC 1767), O Pan (HMC-
1765), and Orpheus With His Lute (HMC-1766) - also exhibit these characteristics that
cause some conductors to dismiss his works as possibly too complex or rangy for
their ensemble.
from Shakespeares Twelfth-Night in which Orbn incorporates the best of the afore-
mentioned characteristics. In the first work, O, Mistress Mine! (HMC-1898, pub. 2002),
Orbn limits his use of the vocal ranges, chromaticism and intricate rhythms. As seen in
figure 1, the ranges for each voice part are not extreme.

The most important part of any work is its beginning. This is especially true for the
education of young children . . . then we shall have a salubrious climate in which our
young may dwell and benefit from all their surroundings, where works of beauty are
conveyed to eye and ear like breezes bringing health from wholesome places. In this
way, from early childhood on, they would easily live in harmony and friendship with
beauty and reason, coming finally to resemble them. That is why education in poetry
and music is first in importance. Rhythm and harmonies have the greatest influence
on the soul; they penetrate into its inmost regions and there hold fast.

Two New Fresh and Accessible Settings of Shakespearean Texts

(Continued from page 6)
The most intricate rhythmic interplay occurs between the lower three voices as they accompany the soprano melody
(figure 2). Orbn replaces the traditional Fa-la-la refrain with Di-ri-di-don.

Figure 2. O, Mistress Mine, rhythmic interplay, mm. 4-6

Copyright 2002 by Hinshaw Music, Inc., used with permission

This playful setting is enjoyable to sing and to hear. The second work, Come Away (HMC-1918, pub. 2003), has simi-
lar ranges, with the exception of the bass vocal line which briefly settles on the F below the staff, and a divided alto
line. Like O, Mistress Mine!, Orbans use of chromaticism and rhythmic interplay is limited. Figure 3 illustrates how
Orbn juxtaposes lyric melodies that encourage beautiful singing above a rich accessible jazz harmonic language that
illuminates the sentimentality of the text. The jazz influence is a musical characteristic that appears more frequently
in his recent works.

Figure 3. Come Away, jazz harmonic language, mm. 72-77

If you have not seen or heard these madrigals or the set of three earlier settings mentioned above, you may have missed
repertoire that would challenge and delight your ensembles and audiences. These settings also represent the range of
Orbns writing. In the performance notes to O, Mistress Mine!, the difficulty level targets advanced Junior High
(Middle School), High School or Advanced Adult ensembles. There are no ensemble recommendations given for
Come Away, however, it is accessible to Advanced High School or Adult ensembles. A program that combines Ren-
aissance settings with these more contemporary settings will add a freshness and variety to the traditional secular
program.
