Choir

On December 5, 2015 I attended the Living Christmas Tree. The play was held at Park Avenue Baptist Church located on 900 Park Ave in Mt Vernon, IL. The play started at 7 pm and lasted for an hour and a half. The entire time the church was filled with holiday spirit in preparation for the approaching Christmas day. The church was filled with people, there was not a seat left in the house. The church pews on the ground floor and the balcony were packed tightly with audience members. The…

principle is the reciprocal distinction of the unmistakable timbre of each”1. By embracing this understanding of voice as a primary intersubjective medium and elaborating on the concept of the resounding and listening subject as a relational subject, “Choirs. Voices of Collectivity and Plurality in the Contemporary Arts” explores the potential of notions of chorality, polyphony and collective voice in the arts of the last ten years and surveys how group singing has become a recurring theme or a…

The Choir Originally, in Yiddish, Der Mitteler Rebbe's Kapelye), a nigun composed by the Mittler Rebbe's choir. The nigun was endeared by the Rebbe.. The Mitteler Rebbe was very fond of the choir and was involved in managing its affairs through various instructions regarding their playing, and even used it several times to carry out spiritual activities. There choir had two divisions: vocalists, and musicians. When they played on weekdays, it was similar to the service of the Leviim in the…

Street Choir. This group of people got noticed so much, that they were able to perform at Carnegie Hall, which is a place where the world’s elite artists perform. The show brought in one of the biggest diverse groups of people that Carnegie Hall has ever seen and they were all united under one roof. Jonathan Palant is the one who founded this great group of people one day when he volunteered at a homeless organization and got the idea of putting a group of singers together. Even though this…

I joined my first choir in seventh grade. It was the school’s seventh grade choir and it had about a hundred kids in it. I enjoyed being there so much that the thought of the arts just stuck. Since then I have been in four choirs (all school funded) and two musicals. Though I know I do not have the most experience and my abilities are still shaky, music continues to be a big part of my life. Joining choir was a big deal for me because I never thought of being in choir as an option, I was always…

Women’s Ensemble, an all female choir of high school students from grades 9 to 12, and we had decided to spread a little joy in our community by going Christmas caroling. We only sang one song at each door, but it was a marvelous 3 part medley of classic Christmas songs that we sing together as a choir every year, and have truly grown to love. Our passion for both this song in particular, and music in general…

I went to the Spring Choral concert. I had never been to an actual choir concert, but my school choir often performed at pep rallies and had other performances throughout the year so I had a basic idea of what was going to happen. When I arrived I was surprised by how full the concert was. The first concert that I had gone to was probably only a third to a half full, but this one was completely packed from top to bottom. It’s a very different atmosphere with a full house. Everyone seemed really…

I was in the beginning choir class. Just as the bell rang to start the period, a line of fourteen high schoolers walked into the classroom. Impeccably dressed, confident, and impossibly cool, they were exactly what I hoped to be when I grew up. My choir teacher, Mrs. Gaddis, introduced them as Vocal Fusion, a pop a capella group at the high school, and explained that they would be performing a few pep rally songs. It was then that I realized I needed to be in that choir no matter what. From…

career by simply dropping out from the choir program in anger of not getting into my choir of choice. But if I went through with this choice, I would have felt empty. With the help of my brother who was a senior and has been in the program all four years, I was not only put in my choir of choice later that week from exemplifying stellar job work, but also continuing the beginning of my musical journey. I am now a vocalist who has been happily singing in a choir for four years. This is my first,…
