In this book, originally published in 1973, she sets out clearly and concisely--and often amusingly--a wealth of practical information that will be of particular interest to the amateur conductor. She gives precise and detailed advice on the technique of conducting, how to form and train a choir, the presentation and rehearsal of music, and how to approach public performances and competitions. Her final chapter offers suggestions for the actual rehearsal of choruses from Purcell's \u003cem\u003eDido \u0026amp; Aeneas\u003c\/em\u003e, Handel's \u003cem\u003el'Allegro\u003c\/em\u003e, and Britten's \u003cem\u003eRejoice in the Lamb\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.47 x 7.46 x 5.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 03, 2002\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42135475454087,"sku":"9780193134072","price":97.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/6d9de69394763ca581f4de664ed72d77_57737f1e-c32c-4dfa-a729-252a8799277a.webp?v=1732649876","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/conducting-a-choir-a-guide-for-amateurs-paperback-1","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
