“It’s important to ask yourself if your choir can actually perform a piece well before going ahead with it. This may sound obvious, but it’s not always easy to practice. We’ve all heard church choirs where a single alto is valiantly plowing through her part while twelve sopranos sing the melody. A beautiful unison sound, while perhaps less ambitious than the scenario described, would be a more suitable goal in this kind of situation. This approach takes humility; the conductor must be willing to sacrifice the goal of independent part-singing for the less glamorous goal of an integrated, blended sound.
