Choral Concepts

About this book

Choral Concepts captures the essence of nearly 70 years of expertise from one of America's most esteemed choral conductors, Donald Neuen.
This comprehensive guide offers clear, practical, and empowering teachings in choral methods and conducting on such important topics as breath support, ensemble sound, vowels, warm-ups, rhythm, phrasing, diction, score preparation and analysis, rehearsal techniques, the role of the conductor, and more.
The second edition enhances this foundational text with a new section focused on conducting major choral works and an expanded chapter on conducting techniques, making it a crucial tool for graduate conducting courses and both aspiring and seasoned conductors.
