24th to 31st July
Workshops at the international choir meetings CHORALP 2021
The 10th edition of this International Singing Week will host two musical ateliers that you’ll enjoy discovering, implementing repertoires conducted by internationally renowned chefs.
Full choirs, as well as Individual Singers, are all welcome to register to these workshops.
Participants may choose between the music workshops:
The workshops
Workshop 1 - Arthur Honegger King David (1921)
A mixed choir, narrator, soloists and an orchestra of 17 instruments, form the three parts of this vast symphonic psalm whose choir part was written first to allow the amateur choir charged with this creation to have a sufficient number of rehearsals.
A major work of the choral repertoire, conductor: Valérie Fayet (Fr), who was already in charge of the Bernstein Atelier (Chichester Psalms) in 2014.
Workshop 2 - Sergueï Rachmaninov Vespers (1915) - (Extracts)
Night Vigils Op. 37, as per its original name, it is an a cappella composition as the tradition of orthodox liturgy requires. The first six movements correspond to vespers in the Liturgy of the Hours and are followed by Matins.
This 4 voices mixed choir is completed by a deep bass (deep b flat !). Some pieces provide for a division of voices.
The workshop will be led by a specialist in orthodox music: Marie-Claude Remy (BE). The Ljubljana Academy of Music Chamber Choir shall participate as a clinic choir in support for this workshop.
In each workshop, a pilot choir that is already conversant with the scores will assist the registered participants in the repertoire learning process.
Both ateliers are bilingual (French and English).
Rehearsals to be held every morning from 09:00 to noon and in the afternoon from 14:00 to 16:30.
One afternoon during the week is kept free so as to allow sight seeing of the city and surroundings.
