Fun Friday - Choral Speaking

This must be at a festival of some kind.  Although this is a long video, you can move it along to watch.  If you watch any other choral speaking of this type you will see they all wear gloves and the clapping of the conductor is always done.  Check out the movement.  Whew!

Please note, no words in front of them for 8 minutes but don't notice that the conductor also does it without notes.  Wow!

That was cool. I liked how their actions co-ordinated as well. The white gloves against the black robes were very effective.

I was so taken by the amazing discipline. Their ability to work so well in unison is quite marvellous.

I was especially taken with the fact that they spoke in their real voices and those voices blended quite well into a melody.

I agree that their voice do create a melody. It is a wonderful sound isn't it?
