May this book serve to mend with gold our individual lives, and collectively to sing together toward the future. —Makoto Fujimura, from the Foreword Twenty years after the publication of his landmark work The Musician’s Soul, James Jordan returns to themes of musicianship, human connection, and artistry—but with depth and insight only possible with twenty years of additional perspective. Jordan explores our need for humility in music making and the importance of “slow art†for all musicians and teachers in this fast information age. He reflects on the loneliness of musicians and draws on yoga concepts to explore our deepest places. And he advocates, with contributions from Dominic Gregorio and Mark Moliterno, the gift of abundances and learning to breathe “as†another. The Musician’s Being, like its predecessor, is filled with inspiring, thought-provoking quotations, enlightened ideas and insights, and a contagious passion for the art of music making. Jordan has written another profound guide to musicianship and to “being†that miracle of artistry and human experience. James Jordan is Professor and Senior Conductor at Westminster Choir College in Princeton, New Jersey, where he conducts the acclaimed Westminster Williamson Voices. He is also Artistic Director and Conductor of the professional ensemble The Same Stream Choir (thesamestreamchoir.com), and Co-Director of the Choral Institute at Oxford (rider.edu/Oxford). He has published over 60 books and resources for music educators and conductors that are read around the world. Dominic Gregorio (1977–2019) served as Associate Professor and Director of Choral Activities at the University of Regina in Canada. He collaborated with James Jordan on several notable publications, including Discovering Chant, The Musician's Spirit, and The Musician's Being. Mark Moliterno is an accomplished professional opera singer, voice teacher, yoga teacher, IAYT-certified Yoga Therapist, workshop leader, and author who is known as a specialist in helping people understand and uncover their authentic voices.  Enjoy this discussion of The Musician’s Being featuring Makoto Fujimura, Irene Gregorio, Alec Harris, Mark Moliterno, and Mike Scheibe. The hour is filled with enlightened, thought-provoking ideas and insights, and a contagious passion for the art of music making.

Jaso n Max Ferdinand's book Teaching With Heart is the first book to directly help us address the societal issues in our choral rehearsals. Not attempting to separate the music from social issues, this new tool in the classroom uses musical examples to address uncomfortable topics and hopefully 'open minds and hearts.' Built to ask singers to read, watch, listen and then to respond and discuss, this resource has been developed with the help of nine outstanding contributors and ten composers and arrangers.

By Jeffery L. Ames, Hilary Apfelstadt, Lynne Gackle, James Jordan, Jo-Michael Scheibe, and Phillip A. Swan. Compiled and edited by Hilary Apfelstadt and Jo-Michael Scheibe. Choosing repertoire is one of the most important and time-consuming tasks choral conductors undertake. And the Teaching Music through Performance in Choir series remains one of the most important resources for choir directors looking for quality repertoire that has been vetted by a distinguished panel of educators. Each volume in the series contains Teacher Resource Guides for 100 works, organized by difficulty. Selected by a team of leading choir directors, the repertoire in Volume 5 balances SATB literature with works for women’s and men’s choirs, and includes a healthy mix of selections aimed at bringing greater attention to the rich choral culture in Canada. Featuring the same team of authors as Volume 4, this volume also includes chapters that cover: “More than Spirituals and Concert Gospels: Choral Music in the Western European Tradition by Contemporary African American Composers†by Jeffery Ames, “North of the Border: Accessible Choral Music by Canadian Composers†by Hilary Apfelstadt, “Engaging the Voice, the Mind, and the Spirit: An Effective Approach toward Literature Selection with Treble Voices†by Lynne Gackle, “The Blueprint of Ensemble Musicianship Contained within Chant†by James Jordan, “It’s All About the Up: Journey, Text, Gesture, Music, and Motion†by Jo-Michael Scheibe, and “Community Collaboration: Relevant Programming that Moves Beyond the Classroom and into the Community†by Phillip Swan. Indexes by title, publisher, and composer/arranger for all five volumes of the series are included, and an extraordinary companion recording of all selections is also available. There is simply no better way to find and prepare the best choral literature available for achieving excellence in choral music education at all levels. The Teaching Music through Performance in Choir series continues to make a significant contribution to the choral arts.
