Conducting as a Spiritual Power and the Flow of Energy
The conductor creates the perfect performance in their mind’s ear through score study and preparation. Through a combination of spiritual power and energy and meaningful gestures the conductor then brings the piece to life and creates a flow of energy from conductor to singer to audience. This workshop will explore the many ways conductors can shape musical expression on multiple levels and through the flow of energy.
Questions to be discussed:
•How do we create music spiritually? If we don’t, what could happen?
•How do we create the ideal performance, the perfect rendering of the composer’s own creation?
•What is Creation / re-creation – one eternal round We are in a constant search for truth.
As we reflect on the great power of choral music, we should be mindful of using this power wisely in every aspect of our lives and let it be for good, for peace, and for love. We have been blessed with special talents, musical talents—even a creative power. May we use it to create unity, harmony, and oneness.
