*THE PHYSICAL EXPRESSION*

Apart from the _language expression_ we attach to our performances, our physical expression of the pieces we perform counts a lot.

It is possible that your physical expression of a piece can aid somebody who doesn't know the piece or who doesn't understand the language to get an idea/gist of what you are conveying/communicating.

While some people do well to physically express pieces they perform, others overemphasize their gestures; while the gestures of others are contrary to what they are performing, others remain rigid throughout the performance.

You can't perform the hymn _'how sweet the name of Jesus sounds'_ with a 'thick or a heavy' facial expression throughout; neither can you perform Handel's _'The Trumpet shall sound'_ with a 'soft and smiling' face.

When people always say 'smile while you sing', that is not the case for every piece.
What you must do is to physically express the piece you are performing.

Express what you perform.

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.

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.
