The Carus Choir Coach offers choir singers the unique opportunity to study and learn their own, individual choral parts within the context of the sound of of the entire choir and orchestra. For every vocal range a separate CD containing each choir part is available. The CD is based on recorded interpretations by renowned artists who have performed the work from carefully prepared Carus Urtext editions. Each choir part is presented in three different versions:
- Original recording
- Coach: each part is accompanied by the piano, with the original recording sounding in the background
- Coach in slow mode: the tempo of the coach slows down to 70% of the original version – through this reduction passages can be learned more effectively.
Saint-Saëns’ delicate-sounding Oratorio de Noël, in the tradition of the Catholic rite, offers a few lyrical, expressive movements in which the chorus has a dialog with one or more of the soloists. A few sudden tempo changes also demand confident entries from the performers. When the ensemble works, everyone is rewarded through the beautiful, finely-shaped and attractive harmonies.
