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. Mark Sirett ( http://www.marksirett.ca ); Sheet music: Kelman Hall 04/20MMP29 (Music Plus) (http://musicpluscorp.com/KELMAN%20HALL/88/0); Audio recording available on iTunes and on "Pure Elektra" CD (http://elektra.ca/store/products/pure-elektra/ and http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/elektrawomenschoir2)  less

So tret ich hie auf einen Stein: Gott grüss mirs zart Jungfräuelein! Und grüss euch Gott allsamt geleich, sie seien arm oder reich, Gott grüss euch all in einer G’mein, darzu auch die klein! So ich ein grüss, die ander nit, so wär ich kein rechter Singer nit! Right pleased am I to join this dance, I hope a beautiful young maiden will give me a garland Then I will be her own So I step up here upon a stone Tender maiden may God greet you and may God greet all here the same, be they poor or rich God greet everyone together here, even the little ones! Because if I greet one and not the other, I would not be a true singer!  less
