SANTA
FE WOMEN'S SACRED WORLD MUSIC CHOIR - Directed by Madi Sato
World Music and Jazz vocalist and songwriter
Madi Sato is offering a new Women's Sacred World Music Choir to
Santa Fe!
In an ongoing series of six-week
class sessions, learn sacred and traditional repertoire from around
the world including ancient Baltic polyphonic chants, Afro-Brazilian
invocations, Japanese Nihon Minyo, Celtic sean-nos, American gospel
hymns, and medieval and modern liturgical music. Experience the
powerful art of group devotional singing with world harmonies
and beats.
The intention is to direct
this choir in a different way from the standard and usual western
choir method. We work with a contemplative basis and invite all
voices to participate in the devotional art of the voice, creating
spontaneous group compositions.
We have road maps for each
chant and learn and practice the harmonics of nature, which are
found in the music of rain to the symphony of the wind. We also
employ simple laws of harmony utilized by contemplative chanting
traditions from the Gregorian chant tradition, as well as mantra
tradition from Tibet and improvisational vocal techniques that
induce a state of meditation and liberation.
Through listening, intention,
tone, breath and community as a basis for creating music, voices
will be free to sing in many registers rather than limiting the
voice to one range for an entire composition. Instead of working
with set and complex choral arrangements we will utilize sacred
text, mantra and seed syllables as the foundation or point of
entry into a choral piece.
We will prepare ourselves for offering a performance in early
December 2010. And rather than a traditional choir recital these
concerts invite full audience participation into the mystic and
contemplative art of devotional singing and the yoga of the choir.
$350 Early Registration
$400 after August 1st.
