Ascending Voice IV Printed Program.Indd THE ASCENDING VOICE IV AN INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM OF SACRED A CAPPELLA MUSIC Malibu, California | May 12-14, 2016 WELCOME! Pepperdine University proudly welcomes you to The Ascending Voice IV, the fourth international symposium of sacred a cappella music. A decade ago we first conceived of a great gathering of people who love sacred a cappella music. We could not have imagined then that this triennial gathering would appeal to so many people beyond national, ethnic, cultural, and denominational boundaries. Each time we convene we re-experience the great truth: a cappella music is truly universal in its appeal. Of course, all great music has the potential to uplift and entertain; but unaccompanied human voices, when joined together in song to express the great themes of Scripture, can inspire the soul unlike anything else. Such music can transform lives, shape movements, and revive communities. Ascending Voice is more than a conference to stimulate the intellect or satisfy the appetite for virtuoso performances, though wonderful lectures, workshops, and concerts will be in abundance. Singing is above all something God calls us to do. So this year’s event is especially focused upon practice. This is the time for singing! Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love; The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above. Connecting to our theme from Psalm 96:1, Cerulean (our very own choir- in-residence) and the Festival Choir have programmed a diversity of a cappella sacred Christian music from around the world. As we listen, learn, and sing together may our “kindred minds” join together before the fount of every blessing. May our hearts be tuned to sing his grace. And may each one find refreshment of the spirit through conversation, worship, shared meals, and singing. In the words of poet-musician-theologian George Herbert, may divine music be “the way to heaven’s door.” Darryl Tippens, Ryan Board, and N.

The name connects to the purpose of The Ascending Voice and evokes the notion of voices of praise offered up to the heavens for God’s glory. Working within the parameters of the triennial symposium The Ascending Voice, Cerulean performs high-quality public concerts and serves as a resource to workshop and lecture presentations, singing examples of various a cappella worship styles. Cerulean also advances the cause of new Christian art music by commissioning and performing new sacred a cappella concert works. Cerulean’s members include professional singers, composers, and church musicians from across the U.S. who love sacred a cappella music. Performing a cappella singing at its highest level, Cerulean is especially pleased to include Pepperdine alumni in the ensemble. TAKE 6 Take 6 is one of the most pioneering and influential contemporary Christian a cappella groups of all time. Six virtuosic voices unite in crystal clear harmony, against a backdrop of syncopated rhythms, innovative arrangements, and funky grooves that bubble into an intoxicating mix of gospel, jazz, R&B, and pop. Praised by such luminaries as Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Brian Wilson, Ella Fitzgerald and Whitney Houston, the multi-platinum-selling sextet has toured the globe, collaborated across genres, and is recognized as one of the preeminent a cappella groups in the world. Quincy Jones called them the “baddest vocal cats on the planet!” Since their 1988 debut, Take 6 has received 24 Grammy nominations in four genres: gospel, jazz, R&B and pop—winning 10 Grammys in three categories. In addition, they have won 10 Dove Awards, and one Soul Train Award. The group, originating

  • Playing the Sacred Harp: Mennonite Literature As Confession (The
    Playing the Sacred Harp: Mennonite Literature as Confession Ann Hostetler Borrowed hymnal in hand, I walk into the one-room white clapboard church that vibrates with loud singing, past dozens of onlookers and would-be participants hovering at the doors like honeybees. My daughter and her partner and their two-week-old baby, and a friend of theirs, follow me as we squeeze into the standing room at the back of the sanctuary next to a row of Old Order Mennonites. Sacred Harp music is sung a cappella and needs a body of singers to come to life in a corporeal act of worship, creating what an alternative healer might call a highly-charged energy fi eld. One of my more worldly friends who is a Sacred Harp devotee describes it as a form of yoga, centered on breathing. Surrounded by the fi erce organ of many voices, I have visions of seraphim and cherubim vibrating with the music of the spheres. Someone less inclined to ecstatic merger might recall Huck Finn’s opinions of Aunt Polly’s heaven – that if the saints were singing for eternity, he would rather spend his time elsewhere. We have chosen to stay for the day. Sacred Harp singers travel. They come from many places, denominations, even faiths to gather at conventions or at singings in many parts of the country. They hold local sings and long-distance sings. The only rule is respect for the music and each other. The content of the songs, sung fi rst by rural Southerners and then Midwestern pioneers during the nineteenth-century singing school movement, is profoundly religious, focusing on death and salvation.

  • Producing an a Cappella CD and Development of a Pitch Detection Program
    A Guide to Producing An A Cappella CD and Development of a Pitch Detection Program A Senior Project submitted in partial fulfillment of requirements for the Bachelor of Arts Degree in Liberal Arts and Engineering Studies By Jacob Ray Stringfellow Liberal Arts and Engineering Studies Department College of Engineering California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo Spring Quarter, 2012 Abstract An in-depth look at the steps required to produce a CD for an a cappella group. From what microphone and preamplifiers to use, to what steps to take during the editing, mixing, and mastering processes. Finished with a look at pitch detection algorithms and how they work, and a little bit of experimentation with my own algorithm and program. 1. Introduction We live in a world that is filled with music. This music comes in different varieties ranging from hip-hop and rap to country and classical. One genre of music that seems to be on the rise now a day is that of a cappella, or singing without instruments. With shows such as America’s Got Talent showcasing collegiate a cappella groups, and shows like the Sing Off that focus on a cappella singing, it seems that collegiate a cappella groups are reaching a peak in popularity. With a cappella groups being formed, and music being performed, there is also a rising demand to record their music. This presents an interesting challenge. Getting your a cappella group’s song recorded professionally can be costly, and on college student budgets it can be hard to afford. That being said, I suggest that there is a solution to this problem.

Denton, Texas December, 1991 Carnes, Tara Barker, Hartley Wood Day: Inventor of Numeral Notation and Adversar of Lowell Mason. Master of Arts (Music), December 1991, 128 p. 4 tables, bibli- ography, 47 titles. Ignorance of the basic principles of music reading was one of the primary obstacles to the improvement of congregational singing in nineteenth-century America. Six separate numeral notation systems arose to provide a simple way for the common man to learn the basic prin- ciples of music. Hartley Day developed his own numeral notation system and published six tune-books that enjoyed modest success in the New England area. This thesis exam- ines Day's numeral notation system as it appeared in the Boston Numeral Harmony (1845), and the One-Line Psalmist (1849). It also studies Day's periodical, The Musical Visitor, in which he continually attacked Lowell Mason, possibly leading to Mason's dismissal as Superintendent of Music of Boston's public schools.

  • Leading Congregational Singing Song/Hymn Leading Is an Important
    Leading Congregational Singing LEADING AS A VOCALIST - Joyce Poley DEVELOPING A STYLE Song/hymn leading is an important skill that can make an enormous difference to the way a congregation sings. If the song leader is primarily a vocalist, there are a number of qualities that are important for success: having enthusiasm for singing; being able to establish a good rapport with the congregation; being comfortable with your own voice; having accurate pitch and a pleasing vocal quality; being excited about introducing new ideas and repertoire. These attributes will help ensure a good singing experience for both the leader and the congregation. Song/hymn leaders use a variety of approaches when leading the congregation, and no single approach or style is “right”. What is important is to develop a style that is unique to your own personality and comfort level. The following are some things to consider: • Energy & enthusiasm Probably nothing affects your success as a song leader as much as your own energy and enthusiasm. People respond to those who love what they do; enthusiasm truly is contagious. Those who already enjoy singing will simply become even more enthusiastic; those who are more reluctant, or feel they can’t sing, will want to be a part of all this positive energy. The more encouragement they get from the leader, the better they will sing. The better they sing, the more confident they become, and the more willing to try new things. Enjoy yourself and be at ease, and they will journey almost any distance with you into the music.

  • Barbara Allen
    120 Charles Seeger Versions and Variants of the Tunes of "Barbara Allen" As sung in traditional singing styles in the United States and recorded by field collectors who have deposited their discs and tapes in the Archive of American Folk Song in the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. AFS L 54 Edited by Charles Seeger PROBABLY IT IS safe to say that most English-speaking people in the United States know at least one ballad-tune or a derivative of one. If it is not "The Two Sisters, " it will surely be "When Johnny Comes Marching Home"; or if not "The Derby Ram, " then the old Broadway hit "Oh Didn't He Ramble." If. the title is given or the song sung to them, they will say "Oh yes, I know tllat tune." And probably that tune, more or less as they know it, is to them, the tune of the song. If they hear it sung differently, as may be the case, they are as likely to protest as to ignore or even not notice the difference. Afterward, in their recognition or singing of it, they are as likely to incor­ porate some of the differences as not to do so. If they do, they are as likely to be aware as to be entirely unconscious of having done ·so. But if they ad­ mit the difference yet grant that both singings are of "that" tune, they have taken the first step toward the study of the ballad-tune. They have acknow­ ledged that there are enough resemblances between the two to allow both to be called by the same name.
