Section Description

The University Concert Choir is a large mixed chorus open to all comers that sings repertory from throughout the history of choral music, including major works of the European and American traditions, choral arrangements of songs and music from many lands and cultures, and newly composed works by composers from all around the world, and especially Vermont. We rehearse weekly and perform at least one full concert every term ... sometimes more.

Section Expectation

This is a performing ensemble. Our meetings are rehearsals in which everyone is expected to participate fully (unless they are sick). A significant amount of time is spent standing by those for whom standing is comfortable. And concerts call for specified concert dress. Some time should be spent outside rehearsal working on learning the music and words. There are typically no required materials, but singers should always bring a pencil to rehearsal. In addition to scheduled rehearsals, there are a number of extra meetings, including dress rehearsals and performances. Some travel to and from off-campus concert venues is often also necessary.

NOTE: Students should enroll for TWO credits. The registration system will default to one credit, but students should choose TWO-credit option. If that put the students over the 19-credit limit, there is a ZERO-credit option available. Email the instructor at nlew@smcvt.edu for information.

Evaluation

Grades are based attendance, engagement, and performance on a parts test.
