I was in choir for 6 years, and I suddenly came to the realization at some point that as an attentive singer, you are essentially volunteering for a sort of hypnosis. Every gesture the director (conductor) make effects the volume, timbre, intensity, emotionality, and so many other factors of your singing. For example if the director was gesturing palm up versus palm down somehow changed the sound coming out of your mouth because you instinctively sort of know without knowing that's what is being called for. Your body as a singer is your instrument, but the choir is the conductor's instrument.
@kate75575 жыл бұрын
Yes! Exactly! 7yrs of choir for me, and you explained it very well. I would even get an asmr/goosebumps/tingly feeling when everyone is properly flowing together with the director. I always thought of it as the same sort of deep concentration as when you're trying to see those 'magic eye' 3d images that were so popular in the mid 90s, but you're right it's more like hypnosis.

@@hexistenz flow describes it really well. I mean you can call the flow everyone (in a best case scenario) enters during a performance a trance or even hypnosis, but after trying conducting as a hobby, because our choir was up to it and our teacher was a professional conductor, I personally also went in a kind of trance. I feel like it needed a little bit more active attention, having more people in front of you, but it feels not that different except for the obvious absence of a physical instrument. Just another cog in the machine that makes it go. But really fun, yet also really challenging. Didn’t really pursue it, but those 2 years were fun and taught me a lot.

A lot of choral music is phrase-based and rubato so there's not a set tempo, which gives the conductor and the ensemble freedom to express how they see fit. It's also why instrumentalists hate us. :)

mapezaid If you tell 100 musicians in an orchestra to do an accelerando, ritardando, or add rubato to/in a phrase, good luck having them all match without a conductor. Tempo changes, and even dynamics can be hard to change in unison with many players. Some players like dramatic dynamics and tempo changes in romantic music while others prefer subtle changes. You don’t need a conductor for a solo, solo + accompaniment, string quartet, etc, but you need one for stuff like large symphonies and concertos by late classical/romantic composers, and even smaller ones the slightest lagging of a musician can be heard. On top of providing the pulse during temple changes, some people *cough* percussionists, might not count their 100 bars of rest, so they need to be given a cue by a conductor.

Conducting is a straight up art form that is easy to overlook, but it really is just as much a part of a performance as any of the musicians. I used to play bass in quite a large orchestra, and being in the back off to one side could get VERY disorienting if I started accidentally focusing too much on what the violins were doing up front; that tiny time delay can really mess with your head. But glancing up to the conductor is all it took to know I was still good, and that absolute confidence he provided made everything else so simple and enjoyable.

Does anyone know what the piece is at 1:36?

What I love the most about 4:58 is that he's thinking of Stars and Stripes Forever for 120 BPM. Me, my conductor buddies, and professors have all used this universal trick 😂

i was in an orchestra and i just went with the flow/rhythm according to the conductor didn’t think that deep into his exact hand motions

It's still the same, every conductor have their own way of delivering instructions. At its most basic structure they're pretty much just guides for music. Because it's easy to get lost in music with enough people

Super random, but I’ve sung the song he was conducting around the 1:40 mark, “Os Justi”, such a gorgeous song ❤️
