Abstract
Description
The conductor's study of a choral score requires a great deal of expertise. Prior to studying the actual score, each conductor will have to undertake several compulsory phases, as follows: the first phase is the analysis of the musical work, which comprises three important stages: Stage I – The Syntactical – Morphological Analysis of the work (Stg I -SMA); Stage II – The Vocal - Choral Analysis of the work (Stg II – VCA) and Stage III – the mental approach on the score (MA), which, in its turn, comprises the technical mental approach (TMA) and the interpretative mental approach (IMA). This latter stage is the practical one, which entails the actual study of the musical score. It requires a few vital steps, particularly the first one – the study of the score by the inner pulsation, involving intent. This study develops, reveals and explains the necessity and importance of all the other stages.
