Choir Essays

Choir Fest was an original, fun, and inclusive opportunity that gave incoming Freshman interested in choir a chance to showcase their skills, and learn from current choir participants what the fine arts program at Barrington High school has to offer. The choir that I am proudly a part of is Select Women’s Ensemble, which is an audition-based, all girls choir. This concert was conducted by Brandon Pemberton, and accordingly, took place on March 9th, 2018, in the Barrington High school Auditorium,

Usually I’m not upset to go to choir everyday, but this year has been one of the worst choirs I’ve ever been in. The past two years of choir was the best choirs we’ve ever had. First off I’m going to start by saying Ms. Kruth does not try to enhance our singing voices at all. This past fall concert we did on October 3rd, 2016 honestly a mess and very unprofessional. She did not fully prepare us for this concert we did. The first few days of school usually we jumped right into knowing each other and

Jack is the leader of a choir that was on the plane. He is very serious and commanding. He is tall, skinny, freckled, and he has red hair and blue eyes. He wants to be chief, so when he is not chosen, he is mortified. While exploring, they come across a trapped pig. Jack could easily kill it, but he doesn't. “Next time there would be no mercy. He looked around fiercely, daring them to contradict”(31). Jack wants to be the chief, and he will do anything to try to be the chief. Even when a boy describes

voice as my family members would say. Yes, yes indeed I had stage fright. I was a thirteen year old seventh grader going to Burton Middle School. I absolutely have a love for music, but I somewhat couldn’t express that publicly. That is why I chose choir as an elective, to see if the class can get me out my comfort zone and for the start of it….it was not going at all well. I was still somewhat the shy type. Apparently, my mom had a discussion with my choral director about me. That’s when everything

Contest Pieces In choir we have been singing a variety of songs. Each song has it’s different tempo and lyrics. The songs “We Are the Voices”, “Whispering Pine”, and “Herbstlied” each are unique songs which are all different styles. We sang “We Are the voices” by Jim Papoulis, edited by Sophia Miller and was copyrighted in 2014. This is a unique song as it has many quick changes of the tempo and the overall mood of the song. This song is interesting as it was originally written by students at

Immaculate Heart of Mary church, the Asap gospel choir arose and prepared to sing. The fairly new choir stood in their rich purple t shirts which read, “Always Singing and Praising” and simultaneously let out the first of many musical notes that would fill the church with a pleasant sound of praise. Amidst their singing one could hear the beautiful resonance of a Grand piano, the rhythmic strum of a guitar, and the tuneful beat of a drum. The somewhat small choir seemed to exude confidence and managed to

Wichita State School of Music The Wichita State choirs not only sang correct rhythms and pitches, but they conveyed a story, a message, and impacted the crowd. Just as Hans Christian Anderson said, “Where words fail, music speaks,” the WSU choir delivered on October 8th in Wiedemann Hall at 7:30. Wiedemann Hall is truly a room built for music, because of the fact that it is acoustically sound which can be noticeably heard. WSU has two choirs: A Cappella Choir—conducted by Dr. Tom Wine—and Concert Chorale—directed

The word “choir” comes from the Greek χορός, khoros in Latin – a group of performers dancing, acting, singing and commenting in unison the actions of plays in theatre. Its function was to give background information and insights to the audience, often suggesting them how to react to the plot on stage and impersonating an anonymous mass (which was in sharp contrast with the heroic protagonists of the Greek tragedy). Accordingly, the voice of this form of choir was non-individualized and homogeneous

curriculum, some school have two choirs, one auditioned and the other volunteer. Teachers should pay attention to the feeders schools, whose students are more likely to continue choir. There are several high school choirs that students can participate in either by audition or a choir of their choice. Some of the most common choirs are concert choir, chamber singers, a mixed choir, and choral union. Other include a mixture, such as a men’s and women’s choir, show choirs, small groups, such as trios,

Seth Wall Agamah English 8 A 3 November 2017 Jack is our hero but to be honest, he's not much of a hero, at least at first. Jack is skinny, a sergeant, and sneaky. He is a skinny twelve-year-old with a tendency to get nosebleeds and not much of a backbone. Okay, we don't know for sure that he's skinny but we imagine he is. For one thing, Jack does some dumb stuff for a brainy kid. For instance, shooting his dad's sniper rifle before making sure it's not loaded. That Shmoopsters, is

Personal Statement 2) Every person has a creative side, and it can be expressed in many ways: problem-solving, original and innovative thinking, and artistically, to name a few. Describe how you express your creative side. Because of the bedtime stories my dad would read my siblings and me, the love for books and the scenes the authors could create began to feed my imagination. Nonetheless, my creative side actually emerged in Seventh Grade English/Creative Writing class. This one assignment impacted

In William Golding's, Lord of the Flies, a group of power hungry boys struggle to hold together their own society while maintaining their own ideas and values, that will soon be stripped away. As the boys began to plunge deeper into the isolation of the lone island, the boys soon realize this is no longer a waltz. Soon leadership, ideals, morals, and their own sense of right and wrong will be put to the most extreme test. Who will they be when the density of the petrifying environment gets to them

Christ Lutheran choir has produced over the years. The choir works very hard each year to present a show that the school will enjoy, but the choir should not be the one performing the shows. CLS would benefit from having a drama class that is separate from the choir class. Many people have said that they would like to take part in the school productions, but they are not interested in joining choir. Because of this, a new drama class could reduce the amount of students that join choir. In response,

beginners. If you wanted to be in the elite chorus group, you have to complete the Singers class. My sophomore year, I was finally in Concert Choir. I was surrounded by all the top singers in the school. All of them knew the basics of music theory as I felt like I knew very little. I had to have known a diminutive amount of music theory to be in Concert Choir right? My high school chorus teacher, Mr. Hall, connects to his students on an emotional level. Before teaching us music, he shows us that

How has the Classical tradition (the art of Greece and Rome) continued to affect art through the 1700s? The Greek and the Roman culture perfectly understood the combination of philosophy, arts, and literature to create a sense of overwhelming feelings and admirations on ancient cultures. Even though these two civilizations no longer have the preeminence, yet many years later, the world continues to remember their accomplishment in the world of art. One element that would not be forgotten about the

During July 19-22 of 2012, Twin Lakes, Wisconsin. It was a very hot day about 90 degrees. We were like in a middle of a hay field. I was with my best friends. There were trucks everywhere and a lot of adults and younger people drinking and dancing to country music. There were a lot of police there too. This was Country Thunder. Country Thunder is a very big music Fest for country music and it's about the same week as Country USA. I had a 4-day pass and I can see all the people who were singing

"Math Autobiography" The importance of Math has been emphasized over and over by countless people. Although I am aware of its importance, I have never allowed myself to see the importance of it. Math, however, as I know, is a very important subject. It is a prerequisite for almost every area of life. This essay presents an overview of my personal experiences with Math, both positively and negatively, along with my overall attitude towards the subject and lastly, it will share how confident I am with

In the novel Lord of the Flies, Golding unknowingly uses Simon, Piggy, Ralph, and Jack to illustrate id, ego, and superego. The id is the set of uncoordinated instinctual trends; the super-ego plays the critical and moralizing role; and the ego is the organized, realistic part that mediates between the desires of the id and the super-ego. Golding shows the id, ego, and superego with Jack being the id, Ralph being the ego, and Piggy as the superego. Firstly, Jack represents id within the allegory
