Extended Information: Effects of Chorus:

Some experts believe that choral singing is a collective and harmonious art, and it is a form that is difficult to replace other educational work. Through the extensive establishment of choirs in poverty-stricken areas and areas inhabited by ethnic minorities, the artistic accomplishment of young people can be strengthened and their physical and mental health can be promoted.

In the view of Li Ling, a teacher of the Sanle Dream Sound Choir of Shaanxi Yongshou Middle School, all walks of life help children from poor families to form a choir, which not only gives them the opportunity to feel the beauty of art, but also allows them to open their horizons and plant the seeds of love in their hearts.

Li Jinsheng said that in the future, he will continue to mobilize all walks of life to participate in choral public welfare undertakings by giving full play to the role of the choral festival as a public welfare platform, so that choral singing will become one of the important forms of cultural targeted poverty alleviation and cultural education.

In the chorus, the vocal parts are soprano, contralto, tenor, and bass, and the letters are s, a, t, and b. Specifically, soprano represents the letter S, alto represents the letter A, tenor (Tenor) represents the letter T, and bass represents the letter B.

Choral singing is a collective singing art that includes simultaneous and mixed voices, turns, leads, duets, harmonies, branches, polyphony, accompaniment or a cappella singing. Common choruses include simultaneous choruses (male, female, and children's) and mixed choruses (male-female, children's and male-female).

Mixed choruses are generally a mix of male and female voices, such as soprano, alto, tenore, and bass. Soprano: Bright, soft, soft.

Alto soprano: full, solid and rounded. Tenor:

Soft, bright, clear and solid. Bass: Solid, powerful, abundant and generous.

Extended Materials. 1. The human voice can be divided into six categories according to the vocal range: soprano, mezzo-soprano, alto, tenor, baritone and bass.

There are also special distinctions in each register, such as the flowery soprano (coloratura

soprano) and lyrical tenor (lyric

tenor) and so on.

2. Generally speaking, the mixed chorus is composed of four basic voices: soprano (S), alto (A), tenor (T) and bass, so it is also called a mixed four-part chorus.

Each basic voice can be divided into sections.

1. The second two sub-voices (or even more), such as the soprano part (1st soprano voice S1, 2nd soprano voice S2), the contralto voice part (1st contralto voice A1, 2nd contralto voice A2), the tenor voice (1st tenor voice T1, 2nd tenor voice T2), and the bass voice (1st bass voice B1, 2nd bass voice B2).

There are many mistakes, one-sided, and even made-up choir voice divisions on the Internet, and today I will standardize the correct division for you.

The correct division of voices should be based on timbre, range, and other situations.

The voice is bright, slender and soft, with a high pitch and easy to sing high notes to E'The above is the high voice. The voice is deep, thick, and the vocal area is low, and generally only the low voice can be sung below the flat E (a group of small characters).

In between, the vocal characteristics are less pronounced, and the younger ones can be placed in the middle or low voice to avoid their voices being "too exposed", which also protects their voices. Older voices can be placed in the middle voice, or in the low or high voice, depending on the need for balance of each voice. The vocal range of the middle voice is B flat f (small character group 2).

Although children's choir is a type of simultaneous chorus, the timbre and volume of boys and girls are still different. The boy's voice is strong and powerful, and the girl's voice is slender and bright, and the combination of boys and girls should be properly considered when dividing the voice, and boys should not be concentrated in one voice or even standing together, which will cause imbalance and disharmony in the timbre volume.

Regarding the division of voices, the following methods are unscientific: some can sing to a certain pitch for the high voice, and the rest for the low voice; Some let all the girls sing the high part and all the boys sing the low part; Some even have students from some classes singing high voices, students from other classes singing low voices, and so on. These are wrong""Simplified methods" must be eliminated.

On the whole, the relationship between the various parts of the choir is like a building, and the basic part below and the part used above are equally important. It cannot be said that the person in one voice has a high level of singing, while the person in the other voice sings at a low level. Instructors and students should have a clear understanding of this.

According to the requirements of vocal balance, there is an approximate proportion of the number of people in each voice in various types of choirs.

For a two-part choir, the ratio of the high and low voices is about 8:7.

Taking 40 people as an example, there should be 21 people in the high voice and 19 people in the low voice; Taking 30 people as an example, there should be 16 people in the high voice and 14 people in the low voice.

For a three-part choir, the ratio of the number of high, middle, and low voices is about 5:3:4

Taking 40 people as an example, there should be 17 people in the high voice, 10 people in the middle voice, and 13 people in the low voice.

Taking 32 people as an example, there should be 13 people in the high voice, 8 people in the middle voice, and 11 people in the low voice.

Due to the difference in individual volume, the proportion of the above number of people is not static, and should be appropriately increased or decreased according to the needs of the equalization of each voice.

The most basic organizational unit in a chorus is the voice, which is combined according to the category of the human voice, so each voice has its own unique vocal characteristics. The mixed chorus uses S, A, T, and B as code names for the soprano, aito, tenore, and bass, respectively. At the same time, according to the needs of the performance of choral works, each voice can also be divided into two parts to form eight parts.

Therefore, the more complete mixed chorus is generally a choral organization with eight voices, which are:

First soprano (S1).

The characteristics of this voice are that the voice is clear, light and soft. It is the highest part of the chorus, so it is often sung as the main theme. Its commonly used vocal range is: C1-A2 (i.e., C A-RH) and the second soprano (S2).

This voice is characterized by being more powerful, broad, and mellow than the first soprano, with a relatively wide timbre in the soprano voice, and often serves as an auxiliary melody. Its commonly used vocal range is: B-F2 (i.e. C Zj-RF

First Contralto (A1).

This part is characterized by a solid and rounded voice. Its commonly used vocal range is: C1-F2 (i.e. C A-RF).

Second contralto (A2).

This part of the voice is characterized by a gentle, solid and generous voice. Its commonly used vocal range is: A-C2 (i.e., C Zh-Ra).

The first tenor (T1) is a voice that is bright and warm. Its characteristics are very similar to those of the first soprano, but one octave lower than the first soprano.

In mixed chorus, some cadenza fragments are often sung 3-5 degrees higher than the female voice (the actual pitch is 6-4 degrees lower than that of the female voice), and its timbre characteristics are obvious. Its commonly used vocal range is: C1-A2 (i.e. C A-RH).

In terms of notation, it has the same range as the female one, but the actual pitch is one octave higher than that of the female one.

Second tenor (T2).

This part is characterized by a fuller and more solid sound than the first tenor, and it plays a prominent role in the lower tenor range. Its commonly used vocal range is: B-F2 (i.e. C Zj-RF

In terms of notation, it has the same range as the soprano, but the actual pitch is one octave higher than that of the soprano.

First bass (B1).

This part of the voice is characterized by its vigorousness, richness, richness and clarity. Its commonly used vocal range is: A-E2 (i.e. C ZH-RD).

Notationally, it has a similar vocal range to the female one, but the actual pitch is one octave lower than that of the female one.

Second bass (B2).

This part is characterized by its deepness and solidity, acting as a harmonic bass. Its commonly used vocal range is: E-C2 (i.e. C Zd-Ra).

The actual pitch of the second male is one octave higher than that of the second female.

In addition, there is a lower bass, which plays the role of the reed to sing a subordinate voice octave lower than the second bass. However, because it is very rare for people to have this kind of voice, it is rarely used. In a chorus, each part not only maintains its own vocal characteristics, but also cooperates with other parts to create the overall sound of the chorus.

The chorus is generally composed of four basic voices: soprano (s), tenor (a), tenor (t) and tenor (b). 1. The ratio of high and low tones in the two-part chorus (male chorus or female chorus) is 3:3 (at least 3 people in each voice), and the ratio of high, middle and low in the three voices is 9:

8：8。(Choir of 50 people, each number).

2. Mixed chorus: refers to the choral chain organized by a mixture of female (or children's) and male voices.

There are probably the following types that are often encountered, and in general, the proportion of the number of voices is roughly as follows:

Two voices: female soprano, male low. The scale is 10:

8. The ratio of three voices: high (female), medium (female), and low (male) is 8:7:

6。Female high, male middle, male low, the ratio is 10:6:

7. Four voices: soprano (s), soprano (a), tenor (t) and tenor (b), with a ratio of 8:7:

3. Among the children's chorus, the most common are: lead singer + chorus, two-part chorus, three-part chorus, lead singer + chorus: one or two lead singers, and the rest are chorus.

Two-part chorus: high, low 6:5 three-part chorus:

High, Medium, Low: 4:3:

3. Adjust according to the specific situation of the chorus.

1. Soprano (Soprano, S) Soprano: Bright and sharp, soft, soft.

2. Alto, A. Alto: Abundant, solid and rounded.

3. Tenor, Tenor Tenor: soft, clear, clear, solid.

4. Basso, B) Bass: Solid, powerful, abundant and generous.

The forms are: children's chorus, female chorus, male chorus, mixed source shirt chorus.

1. Children's chorus. A chorus organized by children and adolescents who have not yet changed their voices. It includes choruses organized by male and female students in elementary schools and choruses organized by male and female students in the lower grades of junior high school who have not yet changed their voices or are in the early stages of voice changing.

2. Female chorus. A chorus organized by a female classmate after changing her voice.

3. Male chorus. A chorus organized by male classmates who have changed their voices.

4. Mixed chorus. A chorus composed of a mixture of female (or children's) and male voices. The first three choruses are composed of the same kind of vocals, so they are also called simultaneous choruses.

Simultaneous choruses have two basic voices, high and low. According to the singing needs of specific choral songs, each basic voice can also be divided into sections.

1. The second two voices.
