Philippe Lazare - Musichorus
Most choirs spend a lot of time to learn individual voices, with singers having variable abilities to read and sing music. Choir conductors are used to send files, midi extracts, links, to help choir singers to progress between rehearsals.Musichorus is dedicated to shorten this process, providing a dedicated tool for learning. Based on real voices, the singer may choose voices to be heard, tune volume, change tempo, see scrolling score, record his voice and listen it with others, and have access to support material (such as pronunciation audio) in a single place. Learning curve is shortened drastically, and choir conductors may focus on group cohesion and music! Choir conductors may also create their own songs, with their own files, and share with their choir.
Jean Claude Wilkens
Musica International is a project aiming at gathering in a single tool the description of the choral repertoire of the world. It is available in 4 languages at www.musicanet.org and describes comprehensively about 200,000 titles, biographies of 33,000 composers…After a small overall description of the project, the presentation will show through examples how to to build a concert programme, for instance according to a given theme, and focus on tricks allowing to optimize the use of the virtual choral library, according to various concerns, targets, repertoires, choirs, to find helps like translations of the text, its pronunciation, listen to good in terpretations…
It will also show how music librarians are now able to manage their holdings directly inside Musica.
