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.

@kate7557 4 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.

@HeidiThompson7 3 жыл бұрын

So beautifully said!

@hexistenz Жыл бұрын

I would maybe just nuance it, and describe it more as a sense of being in a flow. The way I feel it, being hypnotized has a sense of being a puppet, completely controlled by the hypnotist. Being in a flow doesn’t have that sense of control/no control.

It's difficult to effectively illustrate the skill this conductor has at being able to hit a certain tempo when the metronome is started at some RANDOM PLACE IN BETWEEN HIS CONDUCTED BEATS. How did that part not get re-shot correctly? "Whatever, just slap a *ding* sound in and we'll pretend we made our point, regardless of the fact that we 100% didn't show what we set out to."

Great video. I appreciate music content explained by the musicians themselves, not journalists explaining music *coughcoughVoxcoughcough* One thing that should be noted- choral conductors for collegiate and professional ensembles may not conduct the beat at all. 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. :)

@Aaron-ou5mw 4 жыл бұрын

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.

@paran0ia7 Жыл бұрын

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.

1:09 this really explains why I, and the rest of my band play our songs up to 20 bpm faster live. It's obviously not any kind of formal/professional music setting since nobody cares about that in rock/metal/punk. Being faster would not negatively impact how a band playing these genres would sound. (unless it's doom/sludge metal, then it's important to be slow)

LMAO I see that John Philip Souza at 4:57 !! You can see him conducting the actual song, not just the bpm lol

Lol, I caught that too!! 😂 I knew there’d have to be at least one Souza reference, if not more, in this. 😅m Also, off topic, but you absolutely rock that sick hair color! It’s so flattering for your skin tone. Rock it, girl!!
