Stick Time: Clever Concert Presentation III

January 13, 2012 by Scott Dorsey Leave a Comment


One of the risks of adding movement to a choral performance is that the physical gesticulation could have a negative impact on the sound of the choir.  Sometimes, however, certain works almost cry out for movement, as in this performance of “War Song” from the 2007 ACDA National Conference.  Note how simple the movement is, yet how it enhances the performance.

    Fascinating, Scott!  Do you have any additional information about this song, or the conductor/performers?
    Thanks for sharing.

    Why is this referring to The Western Wind ensemble?  It isn’t, at least not that which I was able to find on-line.  Is there a misattribution here for the singing group?
