Chorus

Chorus is a Humanities, Arts and Cultural Studies class taught by Elaine Ginsberg.

This course satisfies Division I requirements.

Course Description
The Chorus is a performing ensemble in which students will learn skills of choral singing and sight-singing. They will be exposed to a wide variety of choral literature through rehearsal and performance, including a cappella and accompanied music, medieval through 20th century, ethnic, world music and folk. Several performances are given throughout the year, both on campus and off, including The Five College Choral Festival in late February. While this course is open to all and the ability to read music is not required, students are expected to have reasonable proficiency in aural learning (e.g. able to sing on pitch). Auditions will be held during the first class meeting.
