Three Chorales

These three short chorales (G Major, G Minor, G Major) are excellent warm-up exercises and are also very useful for training ensembles to listen for pure intonation. Vibrato and tone quality can also be emphasized, as well as watching the conductor for pauses and upbeats. Dynamics are suggested, to assist with the shaping of phrases. Each chorale can stand alone as a processional or recessional for special occasions.
