Choral/Vocal and Piano
Ear Training Immersion Exercises for Choirs
Choral Exercises in All the Modes James Jordan
In 2001, authors James Jordan and Matthew
Mehaffey introduced a new method of choral
ensemble solfege with the book Choral Ensemble
Intonation. The method, based on the premise
that instructors must teach singers what to hear
and what to listen to so that they can sing with
more beauty and less effort, was extremely well
received and now is used by scores of choral
directors.
In response to requests for more teaching
materials based on this aural learning method,
Jordan, along with accompanist/composer
Marilyn Shenenberger, went back to where it all
began—the classroom—to develop the exercises
found in this edition. Each exercise provides a
rich harmonic syntax for singers in all modes.
For each mode, this one-of-a-kind resource
includes exercises for intonation in the mode, intervals within the mode, modal tuning
exercises, and a modal choral example. In addition, a CD of full accompaniments is
provided to use as a classroom supplement or as an aural instruction resource. An
ensemble edition for use by choirs is also available. These exercises should be used as
an aural preparation for the music to be rehearsed as part of the choral warm-up.
This program is for use in conjunction with the book and video entitled Choral
Ensemble Intonation: Method, Procedures, and Exercises (GIA Publications). Performance
literature solfege editions can be found in the GIA Evoking Sound Choral Series.
James Jordan, Senior Conductor and Conductor of The Williamson Voices as well as
the Westminster Chapel Choir for more than a decade, both at the Westminster
Choir College of Rider University, is recognized as one of the nation’s preeminent
conductors, writers, and innovators in choral teaching.
Marilyn Shenenbeger, who has worked at the Westminster College Choir for the past
several years, presents aural awareness concepts as a clinician at seminars and summer
workshops.
