The Voices I Hear by Will Kesling
Drawing from his five decades of success as a conductor and educator in the choral field, Will Kesling has compiled a comprehensive choral methods resource that addresses every necessary fundamental for achieving artistry in the choral art.
Written in clear and conversational language, this resource covers:
• Building a healthy and beautiful choral sound
• Dealing with vocal issues
• Selecting repertoire and programming concerts
• Developing score study skills and interpretive insights
• Understanding the characteristics of musical periods and composers
• Planning, preparing for, and running rehearsals
“The Voices I Hear” also explores important but often overlooked topics, including a discussion of performing sacred music in secular education settings, techniques for performing choral-orchestral works, choral versus orchestral conducting, and how to become a true “maestro.” Individual chapters also function as standalone topics of study.
A valuable read for emerging and seasoned conductors alike, “The Voices I Hear” is an expert study of the aesthetic, intellectual, and practical aspects of the choral art.
