Renowned choral conductor and educator André J. Thomas has crafted a book that the conductor of any choral ensemble-be it church, high school, university, or professional-will want close at hand when preparing to program any concert spiritual. Understanding the Spiritual, the first of the book's two sections, includes an exploration of the beginnings of the spiritual, its role in society and its transition into art music. Issues of interpretation-text, diction, rhythm and tempo-are addressed in the second section, Performing the Spiritual. In addition to interviews with noted conductors Dr. Anton Armstrong and Prof. Judith Willoughby as to matters of performance and selection, the centerpiece of this section is Dr. Thomas's personal reflections on several spiritual arrangements, including his rehearsal techniques (with specific examples and measure-number references to the included scores), as well as an insightful look into his decisions of interpretation.
Tess will do anything and fight anyone to survive. This book is excellent but out of print still good source of weather phenomenon in the Lone Star State. I didn't know what it took to become a professional pilot. In fact, most of it gives an excellent, basic understanding of the various topics, like insect sensory organs. Also, this is a very good historical reference for weather patterns and records. If there was a rating higher than 5, I would rate the book at least a 10.. Before I read this book I liked the sound, but I didn't know too much about where it had come from. Over the counter products usually just makes the armpits smells good but in the long run it makes armpits darker and dangerous for our health. Most aren't too contrived and they mixed up the difficulty fairly well. Or if you don't have money. I started from the beginning and completed the entire workbook, drills and all. Its hard to find clever approaches to an overdone genre. It really gives you everything you need
