Naropa Chorus

Catalog description

In an atmosphere of discovery and experimentation, students explore the fundamental human experience of singing in a group. The class will determine what music to perform, generating arrangements and pieces through collaboration and improvisation. In addition, music from different periods of history and vocal styles will be introduced. Naropa Chorus has an emphasis on the deep listening of one's intuition and expressing it through the voice in the greater context of a group; we will pay close attention to what is going on both internally and externally and respond to both. Participants must be able to carry a tune. The ability to read music is helpful, but not essential.
