MUS 936 - Chamber Singers

0 course unit
Chamber Singers is a small, select choral ensemble open to all students by audition or permission of the instructor.  Advanced musical skills are required.  Students are introduced to a wide variety of sacred and secular music in various styles and languages.  In addition to learning pieces for performance, students also investigate their repertoire in terms of historical context, social significance, religious and philosophical tradition, stylistic interpretation, textual meaning, poetic construction, and music compositional techniques.  Singers hone their musicianship skills (hearing, sight-reading, intonation, ensemble awareness), increase their musical vocabulary, expand their stylistic horizons, improve their abilities in diction and text interpretation, and develop a confident and professional stage presence.  The Chamber Singers rehearse twice weekly and perform several times each semester, including the annual Candlelight Carols services in December.
