What do Singers Say About the Effects of Choral Singing on Physical Health? - Findings from a Survey of Choristers in Australia, England and Germany
2009
This paper presents evidence on choral singers’ perceptions of the physical health benefits of choral singing. It is based on a thematic analysis of answers given to a single open question included in a questionnaire survey of over 1,000 choral singers in Australia, England and Germany: ‘What effects, if any, does singing in a choir have on your physical health?’ The question was carefully worded to be as open as possible, to allow respondents to say that singing has no effects or to identify both positive and negative effects on health. Four findings stand out from this study. Firstly, many respondents did not answer this question or expressed a belief that singing does not have effects on…
Quality of life (QOL) of older adult community choral singers in Finland.
2013
ABSTRACTBackground: Enhancing quality of life (QOL) of older adults is an international area of focus. Identifying factors and experiences that contribute to QOL of older adults helps promote optimal levels of functioning. This study examines the relationship between perceived benefits associated with choral singing and QOL among community-dwelling older adults.Methods: One hundred seventeen older adults who sing in community choirs in Jyväskylä, Finland, completed self-report measures of QOL (WHOQOL-Bref), depressive symptoms, and a questionnaire about the benefits of singing in choir. Correlational analyses and linear regression models were used to examine the association between the bene…
Le metamorfosi del corale "Vom Himmel hoch da komm ich her" fra Lutero, Bach e Stravinsky
2020
Il corale matalizio "Vom Himmel hoch da komm ich her" (Dall'alto dei cieli io giungo) è stato realizzato da Martin Lutero sulla base della melodia popolare "Ich komm aus fremden Landen her" e fu pubblicato per la prima volta a Wittenberg nel 1535. Assai diffuso in tutta l'area culturale tedesca, questo brano è stato ripreso, tra gli altri, anche da J.S. Bach, sia nel "Weinachts-Oratorium" BWV 248 che nelle "Canonische Veraenderungen" per organo BWV 796 e 796a. Il saggio ricostruisce il contesto in cui vide la luce la versione originale del canto natalizio e si sofferma sull'interesse di Bach per la numerologia e sulle "citazioni nascoste" in molte sue opere, incluse le "Veraenderungen" sul …
Musica e architettura. Le opere di Igor Stravinsky per la basilica di San Marco a Venezia
2019
Il 13 settembre 1956, Stravinsky diresse nella basilica di San Marco a Venezia la prima esecuzione del "Canticum Sacrum" (1955), insieme con le "Variazioni-corali sulla canto natalizio Vom Himmel hoch…" (1955-56). Il "Canticum" era stato realizzato su commissione del Festival delle Biennale e costituisce un esempio dell'approccio del compositore alla tecnica dodecafonica. Le "Variazioni-corali" presentano quasi il medesimo organico del "Canticum" e sono invece da considerarsi come una sorta di ripensamento creativo delle "Variazioni canoniche" BWV 796-796a di Johann Sebastian Bach. September 13th 1956, Stravinsky conducted at the basilica of St. Mark in Venice the first performance of the "…
Le "Choral-Variationen" Bach-Stravinsky per la basilica di San Marco: simbologia e Quadrato magico
2020
Eseguite per la prima volta nella basilica di San Marco il 13 settembre 1956, le Choral-Variationen uber das Weinachtslied “Vom Himmel hoch...” (1955-56) di Stravinsky sono una reinvenzione originale e creativa delle Canonische Veränderungen BWV 796 di J.S. Bach, che presenta una profonda relazione con la struttura architettonica e i simboli della basilica, ma anche - in maniera più segreta - con il quadrato magico SATOR / AREPO / TENET / OPERA / ROTAS and e con la musica di Anton Webern. First performed in the Basilica of St. Mark on 13th September 1956, Stravinky’s Choral Variations on the Christmas Carol “Vom Himmel hoch...” (1955-56) are an original and creative reinvention of the Canon…
Metamorfosi di un corale: Lutero, Bach, Stravinsky
2021
Nel 1535 Martin Lutero scrive il corale natalizio "Vom Himmel hoch da komm' ich her", basandosi sulla melodia di un'antico canto popolare tedesco. Questo brano ricorre varie volte nell'opera compositiva di J.S. Bach e costituisce il presupposto delle "Canonische veraenderungen" per organo BWV 796 e 796a (1748 ca.). Nel 1955 Igor Stravinsky realizza una versione per coro e orchestra dell'opera bachiana che costituisce un esempio emblematico di "musica al quadrato" e di ripensamento creativo di un'opera del passato.

Choral conducting education: The lifelong entanglement of competence, identity and meaning
2020
Choral singing is one of the most widespread musical activities, and choral conductors work in a variety of social settings that involve every imaginable type of choir and musical genre. The conductor role draws on a number of skills and competencies that are partly acquired through education but, equally importantly, through experience. Choral conductors shape their practice in highly individual fashions as amalgamations of background, formal education, career development and working situation. The present qualitative study seeks to uncover how choral conductor practices arise and unfold, by using Etienne Wenger’s theory of communities of practice and situated learning as the key analytic…
In viaggio con Stravinsky, gli ultimi anni di tournée e le "Choral-Variationen" sul canto natalizio Vom Himme hoch..." (1955-56)
2022
The text takes up in organic form the speeches held on June 3, 2021 as part of the conference "Stravinsky in/and Italy. Day dedicated to the memory of Igor Stravinsky in the fiftieth anniversary of his death (1971-2021)" and the subsequent round table. The first paragraphs have the character of a reconstruction of the life of Igor Stravinsky ‘as an old man’, dealing above all with the theme of the trips to Italy made by the Maestro together with his wife Vera de Bosset, the conductor Robert Craft. The second part of the text is about the "Choral-Variationen on the Christmas carol “Vom Himmel hoch...”, written in 1955-56 to be performed with the Canticum Sacrum in the St. Mark’s Basilica in …
