Where is the passion in choral music?!
I have been singing for many years and I continually find it so hard to sing under the multitude of conductors who seem to treat the singers like machines! I AM NOT A MACHINE! Is the goal just to sing the right notes at the right time.... or is it to convey something of meaning and worth to the audience (AND TO ME!) oyie! How is it possible that a profession has been created where some older white guy gets up and waves his arm around with no purpose besides keeping time?
Obviously, I am not the first to notice this....but most amerature musicans seem silent on the topic. Are they not alive? CRAZY!
my personal message to all conductors who"live" without experienceing: ENJOY YOURSELF, you have this opportunity to create such beauty, what will you do with it?
