Evoking Sound Choral Series
James Jordan
James Jordan, Executive Editor
The Evoking Sound Choral Series offers highquality
performance literature by acclaimed
composers. Each octavo in this series is
selected and edited by conductor and author
James Jordan and includes indispensable
rehearsal and performance notes along with
full translations when applicable.
Mostly a cappella, these titles include keyboard reductions for rehearsal use. All editions
are attractive, easy to read, and affordable. The Evoking Sound Choral Series provides
excellent choral literature for choirs—both for performance in concert and worship
settings—and will enhance your choir’s intonation and vocal technique.
Many of the editions in this series are fully solfèged by Marilyn Shenenberger so
conductors can easily apply the concepts of harmonic immersion solfège, an approach
that uses the sounding of all parts to improve choral intonation. These octavos, marked
as “Solfège Editions,” also include a solfège analysis guide, solfège syllables, and they
indicate the points at which the modality changes. The practice of harmonic immersion
solfège provides ensembles with...
• The ability to focus on their own part within the broader harmonic context
• Choral literacy training through the development of the ear
• An understanding of moveable “do” solfège, “la”-based minor, and modal
familiarity
• Improved intonation
• Faster and more accurate music learning regardless of an ensemble’s collective skill
and/or ability
