The Georgetown University Concert Choir studies, rehearses and performs sacred and secular masterworks from all periods of music history. The Concert Choir teaches the physical and mental aspects of vocal production and development, proper breathing and breath support, aspects of ear training and sight singing, correct posture, and vocal range, flexibility and quality. Also studied and stressed are correct choral diction in various languages - English, German, Russian, Latin, Italian, Hebrew and French, which includes the study of vowels, voiced and voiceless consonants, diphthongs, placement of sounds within the mouth, and the sound and stresses of singing in each language. Also explored are musical phrase, nuances, mood, and the history, politics, human suffering, adversity and joy that went into each composition. The Georgetown University Chamber Singers are a select group of mixed voices organized to perform small choral masterworks from the Renaissance through the Twentieth Century.
Emphasis is placed on the art of singing a cappella.
