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.

KALYPPO

STREET RHYTHMS 07-10-2016 *KALYPPO* In the streets of Ghana today, politicians are talking about *kalyppo*. *Kalyppo* a brand name of a fruit juice that contains no preservatives. It is pasteurized and packed in aseptic, disposable/environment friendly packing, under strict controlled conditions as certified by HACCP. This ensures that *Kalyppo* juices reach you in near natural condition. HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points; and it is a systematic preventive approach to food safety from biological, chemical, and physical hazards in production processes that can cause the finished product to be unsafe, and designs measurements to reduce these risks to a safe level. As music lovers, it may interest us to know that  *Kalyppo* and the other fruit juices contain vitamins and other nutrients that are good for our vocal health. However, a lot of these fruit juices are chemicalized and turn to make the juices irritants. They irritate our throats whenever we ...

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.
