THAT VOICE

STREET RHYTHMS
18-10-2016

*THAT VOICE*

That voice which sings through the microphone while the choir is leading a congregational hymn.

Either the voice of the liturgist or the MC or the Osofo.

That voice mostly sings off pitch. It drags the song; and sometimes counter the flow of the music. It also distorts the vocal production.

We can politely inform that voice not to sing through the microphone during congregational singing, which is being led by the choir.

That voice that also holds the microphone and sings alone through it when the choir is singing (a chorus) alone;
The choir master's voice; the past leader's voice; etc.

Although this voice does not necessarily sing off pitch, but it may drag the song; it may also control the flow of the music and also distort the vocal output/production.

We can position the microphone to pick the whole choir's voice or majority of the voices we need.

THE RIGHT PLACE OF THE CHOIR

 INTRODUCTION: Many Christians are well used to having a choir sing in their church services and today, the singing of a choir has been a fixture of the worship in many churches; this is understandable as choirs feature in the Bible’s own description of divine worship. Their singing complements the spoken word of God that is given by the clergy. The role of the clergy is widely known; what about the role of the church choir; and where can they be positioned in the church to play their role very well? All churches have designated sitting places for their choirs in the temple; but which part of the temple should be the best place for the choir in other to perform their role very effectively? This is the problem that was examined.

MISMATCH OF MUSIC

STREET RHYTHMS 06-02-2017 *MISMATCH OF MUSIC* Many a times, choirs sing the 'nice music' at occasions and you (if you really understand music) will realize that the song, though nice, has nothing to relate to with the occasion. One possible cause is that some choir leaders don't find the meanings of song text (especially, in languages they don't understand) before teaching them.

ROBING AND DISROBING IN PUBLIC

Most of our choirs use choir robes as their uniform for every divine or full service. These robes are either sewn in the American robe style (the academic gown/single gown style) or the British robe style (the cassock & surplice style). Some choristers are always found robing and disrobing outside the vestry; this practice is not good.
