A Survey Of Choral Ensemble Memorization Techniques, Margaret A. Alley

Phi Kappa Phi Research Symposium (Archived)

Choral ensembles memorize music for concerts and other performances. Previous research in memorizing musical material is mostly anecdotal and primarily applied to individual instrumentalists.

A survey was sent to choral directors and teachers in Southeast Georgia, collecting data on whether or not choral ensembles memorize their music and why, specific memorization techniques, and the aspects of memorization that present challenges for ensemble members. Fourteen choral directors and …

Theses and Dissertations

During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, composers began to use …
