No one is alone: singing with other performers (Here I am: finding your starting note ; I'm part of that: consonance and dissonance with the piano accompaniment; piano conductor scores ; Do you hear the people sing?: choral singing and score layouts) -- 14. The writing on the wall: musical markings, repeat structures, and other score "road maps" (Be Italian: tempo marking ; Loud: dynamic and articulation markings ; Stop, time: pauses and held notes ; Speak low: other expressive markings and spoken text ; Back to before: repeats, D.C., D.S., and codas ; Ah, but underneath: underscoring and vamps ; On the street where you live: rehearsal numbers and letters ; Do it again: AABA form and other song structures) -- 15. Hey, look me over: close score reading for dramatic and character analysis (Mama, look sharp: every mark is a choice ; The wrong note rag: analyzing dissonance and contour to color your performance ; Watch what happens: dramatic inspiration from the piano accompaniment ; A change in me: reading key changes and altered notes for textual insight) -- 16.

I've got your number: intervals and scale degrees (Go the distance: basic interval sizes and names ; Home: the tonic and scale degrees ; Do-re-mi: the Kodály method) -- 7. You do something to me: accidentals, key signatures and transposition (I am changing: accidentals and the black keys of the piano ; Ring of keys: the major scale, key signatures and the circle of fifths ; They just keep moving the line: transposing songs) -- 8.

Hold on: ties and dots (Married: ties ; Stay with me: dots).Singers and actors who can learn music quickly and accurately have an enormous advantage in today's increasingly competitive field. Award-winning composer and music director Andrew Gerle has written a music theory text especially for singers, focused exclusively on topics and techniques that will help them in the rehearsal room and on stage. Gerle leads readers step by step through every aspect of written music, using over one hundred real-world examples from Broadway scores. His common-sense, methodical approach demystifies abstract concepts, and his unique 1-STARRT method teaches singers to read musical "words" instead of single notes, enabling confident sight-singing of any score. Drawing on his years of experience as a Broadway vocal coach, Gerle also shows readers how to use music theory to think like a composer, analyzing scores for dramatic clues to create a more detailed and powerful performance. Each chapter is accompanied by downloadable audio examples and exercises to lock in newly learned concepts. - Provided by publisher.

Histories of Southern hymns : especially those in the Old Red Book. by McKinley, Janie Mae Jones,author.(CARDINAL)299935;

"When we sing the old hymns, we may not know why they were written. A happy song might have been a hymnwriter's determination to find hope in sadness. During grief or joy, we can relate. Of particular interest are songs in the 1951 Church Hymnal by Tennessee Music and Publishing Company, now Pathway Press, Cleveland, TN, and the nearby Red Book display at the Museum and Cultural Center at 5ive Points. The Church Hymnal remains popular with Shape Note singers, and many Southern churches enjoy nostalgic Red Book Singings. These hymn histories, along with memories of homecomings and Saturday-night singings, are dedicated to church organists, pianists, guitar players, song leaders, quartets, and choir members who love and enjoy Southern gospel songs. Ours is a great musical heritage, and we have fond memories of the Old Red Book" -- back cover.Nearly 75 years after its publication in 1951, the Church Hymnal remains a popular choice in Southern churches. Fondly known as The Old Red Book or the Red-Back Hymnal, it contains both traditional hymns and four-part harmony songs favored by Shape-Note singers. Enjoy reading the history of many of these songs, as well as the stories of some quartet-style Gospel songs that could not be included in the 410-page publication in 1951. In the Histories of Southern Hymns, Volume 1, Janie Mae Jones McKinley recalls the early days of Southern Gospel Music. Before television, people in mountain communities walked miles to attend Saturday night singings. Local groups who sang Shape Note songs were honored guests at annual homecomings, and traveling quartets pioneered by James D. Vaughn were popular. Traditional hymns were also enjoyed, especially those written by Fannie Crosby. Blessed Assurance from the 1800s was always a favorite, along with John Newton’s Amazing Grace and Rev. A.M. Toplady’s Rock of Ages from the 1700s. Janie Mae especially recalls the 1951 Church Hymnal. The comprehensive songbook has remained a popular standard nearly 75 years later because it includes both traditional and quartet-style songs. Janie Mae has compiled the histories of over 70 songs in Volume 1. Hymnwriters often wrote of hope and happiness during difficult times in their own lives. Those songs become more meaningful to us as we understand the histories behind them.
