Singing consists mostly of vocables, though recordings and reports from the early 1900s and prior indicate there were a great deal more lyrics or vocal texts. Blackfoot people see the profusion of words in European American music and African American music as lessening the importance and meaning of both words and music; and the same for the manner of listening to such music, that is, for entertainment or enjoyment, often while doing other things: if someone needed to say so many words, why didn't they just talk (p.69). Blackfoot music is not ...

Thompson once said he modeled his performance style on two simple words: "Scream it." He adopted the mantra from a Thai neighbor, who once asked him to sing "Oh! Darling" by The Beatles and "Scream it like you hate that bitch!" Indeed, Thompson's powerful screams were a signature of Pixies albums, which fit quite well with the band's typical song structure of quietly paced verses followed by thundering chorus lines and repetitive guitar staccato. His curr ...

The earliest roots of Sacred Harp singing are found in the American colonial era. At that time, singing schools were created to provide instruction in choral singing, especially for the use of churches. In 1801, a book called The Easy Instructor1 by William Smith and William Little was published for the use of this movement; it was the first book printed in shape notes. There was, however a rival shape system: Andrew Law (1749-1821) introduced a shape note system in his The M ...

Sacred Harp groups always sing a cappella, that is to say, without accompanying instruments. The singers arrange themselves in a square, with a row of chairs or pews on each side assigned to each of the four parts: treble, alto, tenor, and bass. The treble and tenor sections are usually mixed, with men and women singing the notes an octave apart. Typically, there is no single leader or conductor; rather, the participants take turns in leading. The leader for a particular round selects a song from the book, and "calls" it by its page number. Leading is done in an open-palm style ...

Choral singers vary greatly in their ability and performance. The best choral singers possess (among others) the following abilities: to sing precisely in tune and with a pleasing vocal timbre which blends with the other singers; to sing at precisely controlled levels of volume, matching the dynamics and expression marked in the score or prescribed by the conductor, and not sing so loudly as to be markedly detectable as an individual voice within the section; to sight-read music fluently; to sing solo ...
