Morna Edmundson, Artistic Director, takes us through two of her warmups, 1) using folk song melodies to encOurage legato singing and natural phrasing and 2) "Umbrellas" to ease the top of a woman's range. Elektra's mandate is "to inspire and lead in the choral art form through excellence in performance and the creation, exploration, and celebration of women's repertoire." YOur thoughts on the video? Let's start a conversation! Repertoire referenced in Episode One: Un Canadien errant, QueBec folk song, arr.

The evangelist tells the story, arias convey the inner feelings of us humans as we gaze upon the Golgotha scene and choruses and chorales reflect on Our own place in the drama. Bach's incredible work of art stands alone in its complete telling of the crucifixion story in a manner which stirs and moves the soul of the performer and listener. This is a mountaintop experience not to Be missed.  less
