Choir Workshop - 07/22/11

In response to popular request, this workshop will explore the principles, key points, cues, and format of the Orthodox Hierarchical Liturgy from the standpoint of the choir
director/singer. Mr. Shipovalnikov, an eminently knowledgeable and experienced Orthodox musician, will describe in detail the differences between a ‘normal’ Liturgy and the Hierarchical Liturgy, so that choir directors can effectively prepare themselves and their choirs for such occasions. In addition, he will cover topics such as when the Bishop serves as a Priest and the order for ordinations, processions and other special events that occur during the service. Musical examples will be provided and rehearsed.
