This weeks Choral Cacophony Podcast is a wee lecture from our director Pierre on "getting away from the book".
Besides the fact that The Stairwell Carollers are known for connecting with the audience in a way that many choirs don't - we sing to the audience, rather than at them, knowing your music by heart is a great strategy to improve performance and musicality in general.
Here is the first page of the sheet music for El Grillo - a fun 15th century Italian madrigal which celebrates the Cricket. This song was Pierre's jumping off point for the discussion.
Speaking personally, I memorize my parts as best I can. My performance is always better when I am most familiar with the music.
