I’ve been teaching this technique (actually several techniques involved in overtone singing) for 20 years. I am a composer of overtone music for choir. I direct my own overtone choir…See More

yodeling and overtones

I'm currently creating some very specific notated exercises for combining yodeling with overtones (SATB), using 2 completely different approaches. The best I've heard in this area is Christian Zehnder, who has cleverly woven his national Swiss tradition into it.Anyway,in a yodel surfing expedition, found this completely amazing blog site 'Yodel Heaven', which has a huge amount of rare (downloadable!) mp3s from all over the world, including a bunch of overtone and throat singing tracks.

I am a conductor and composer for overtone choirs, directing my own 'Auralia' in Prague. The music is contemporary, experimental, pop/ nu-jazz/ new classical/ world beat. It is not based in esoteric new age music. There is a lot of advanced polyphonic movement in the overtone singing (2 pitches from a single voice). I teach this online via Skype.

The Threshold Bookcast : Chapter 13 : Keys To Ascension

Chapter 13 : Keys To AscensionRahu Lüli, the teenage monk from Kõrgus, is once again the central character of the weekly instalment of the Threshold Bookcast. This time, we find the novice reminiscing as he explores unknown territory uphill, following a hunch that has occurred to him prior to the morning ritual. « « Gazing up, the apprentice had detected an odd detail. Something was decidedly wrong about the view, and it couldn't but have a meaning. Over the years, the pitch black walls of…See More

Rossini: Feminist Crusader

Taconic Opera will be presenting a fully orchestrated mass in June by the famed composer, Gioacchino Rossini, widely known for his comedic operas like The Barber of Seville and, of course, the universally recognizable overture from his opera William Tell.  However, this is not just any Mass: it has a very remarkable historical component that would be of interest to both music historians and women everywhere.  The Petite Messe Solennelle (small solemn mass) was originally written to feature…See More

Maryland Choral Society: Dona Nobis Pacem at Mount Calvary Catholic Church

May 20, 2012 from 4pm to 7pm
Ralph Vaughan Williams's Dona Nobis Pacem, written in the years just prior to the outbreak of World War II, blends the poetry of Walt Whitman with the cry for peace ("Dona nobis pacem") embodied within the Agnus Dei of the traditional Latin mass. It is a piece of tremendous drama, emotional scope, and eloquence, and it has much wisdom to offer to us and the world in which we live. The Maryland Choral Society will perform the piece in the rarely-heard version for strings and piano, a reduced…See More
