“I love the way that contemporary a cappella engages singers who might not necessarily see themselves as ‘choral singers' to be able to sing together and maybe discover a love of more traditional choral music. For me, it's all about engaging more singers. Group singing is such a beautiful community, and I've seen the ways it can really change lives, create beautiful spaces for self-expression, and do some good for the world in a time where we really need it."Rob Dietz is a multi award-winning singer and vocal percussionist who has been arranging, composing, teaching, and performing contemporary a cappella music for over twenty years. Based in Los Angeles, Rob is best known for his work as an arranger and group coach on NBC's The Sing-Off. His arrangements have been performed by top-tier vocal artists, including Grammy-winning groups Pentatonix and The Swingles, as well as VoicePlay, Kings Return, and many more.He earned his bachelor's degree in music with an outside field in business from Ithaca College in 2010. While at Ithaca, Rob had the honor of directing the all male-identified group, Ithacappella, with whom he twice advanced to the finals of the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella.As a performer, Rob is an internationally recognized vocal percussionist, with credits including Glee (FOX) and The Late Late Show with James Corden. Rob has a deep passion for a cappella education, and is a founding co-director (along with Ben Bram and Avi Kaplan) of A Cappella Academy. In 2016, he launched Legacy, a youth a cappella group in Los Angeles. In 2023, he transitioned Legacy into Academy Choir: Los Angeles, a larger ensemble blending contemporary a cappella with modern choral music.In addition to directing his own groups, Rob is a sought-after clinician and presenter, having conducted honor ensembles at regional and state festivals.

Så er det blevet tid til at vende tilbage til storhedstiden for eurodance, for i denne uges udsendelse har vi endnu engang fået besøg af vores gode ven og eurodanceconnoisseur Nick. Sammen går vi igennem Turn Up The Bass 10, en compilation der i år kan fejre 30-års jubilæum. 2 CD'er inddelt i 2 indbydende temaer. CD 1 med alle de hotteste hits (anno efteråret 1995) og CD 2 med det bedste fra 90-95 - altså alle de store eurodancehits (og nogle enkelte totalt ukendte). Det resulterer i vores hidtil længste afsnit nogensinde, men så er der også en gennemgang af alle 40 tracks, og det er med kunstnere som f.eks. 2. Unlimited, Corona, DJ Bobo, N-Trance, Baby D, Twenty 4 Seven, Fun Factory, Whigfield, Ice MC, Cappella, Outhere Brothers, Scooter, Maxx og danske Diskofil. Udover de mange eurodance ”klaskere” drikker vi et par hollandske øl, vi filosoferer over om Captain Hollywood blev døbt Captain Hollywood, vi namedropper Michel Belli, vi afslører hvilken eurodancekunstner der i dag er percussionist i Bon Jovi og hvad der kan få Nick på dansegulvet, vi prøver at finde definitionen på en fræk pizza, Andy lover spændende overraskelser i slutningen af nummeret Scatman, og så kommer vi desuden ind på så forskellige emner som bl.a. technosmølfer, syngende nonner, trancehippier, sexede evangelister, piratbukser, togture til Hillerød og Roy Lichtenstein.

En 1988, una canción sin beat, sin instrumentos y grabada en casa alcanzó el #1 en Billboard y ganó tres Grammys: "Don't Worry, Be Happy". ¿Casualidad o estrategia? En este episodio analizamos el “caso McFerrin”, cómo una anomalía rompió las reglas del pop de los 80 y, gracias a la sincronización en “Cocktail”, la conexión emocional y una apuesta de diferenciación (océano azul), terminó conquistando el sistema. Hablamos de propiedad concentrada y royalties, de minimalismo que maximiza margen y de por qué en 2025 —entre TikTok y las playlists por estado de ánimo— lo distinto puede llegar a ser más rentable que competir.

„Sjael" ist Schwedisch und bedeutet Seele. Beim A-cappella-Ensemble Sjaella aus Leipzig kommt hinten noch eine weiche Abrundung dran und fertig sind Name, Programm und künstlerisches Konzept. Dass die 7 jungen Frauen auch selbst jede Menge Seele haben, weiß man sofort, wenn man sie hört. Harmonisch ihr Klang, oft ätherisch und voll musikalischer Energie. Seit genau 20 Jahren singen sie zusammen, mit einem Repertoire von Bach über Jazz bis Avantgarde.

Last fall, I met Francesco Galgani and tried his wines and I was completely blown away. I always think of Vernaccia as a more historical Pinot Grigio -- light on flavor, boring, and not anything to get excited about. But then I visited Cappella Sant'Andrea. HOLY CRAP!! This is the BEST Vernaccia on earth. Francesco and Flavia, the owners and winemakers, are truly the Masters of Vernaccia di San Gimignano. You will never taste Vernaccia like this.    In the show Francesco and I discuss the long history of Vernaccia, wine in San Gimignano, why there is so much crappy Vernaccia, and how they do it right. Their Rialto and Prima Luce, especially are stunning. I can't sing their praises more.   Two things mentioned in the show:  Follow Francesco on IG, he's a brilliant artist: @francescogalgani If you want to order directly from Francesco, and have the wine shipped from Italy, please visit their website: https://www.cappellasantandrea.it/chi-siamo1 and you can contact them for orders and pricing!      Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon. Join the community today! www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople _______________________________________________________________   This show is brought to you by my exclusive sponsor, Wine Access – THE place to discover your next favorite bottle.

“We had 10 sopranos, 4 altos, 2 tenors, and 1 bass, and they were all volunteers. We were spending hours trying to learn this music that we didn't have the numbers for, so I ended up writing almost 100 church arrangements, and I made the voice leading very stepwise. Being that close to the music made me a better writer because I'm not just writing for ensembles I don't hear regularly. I'm there in the rehearsal process, and I know what's hard and what might be easier to grab onto.” MaryAnne Muglia (she/her) is a composer, vocalist, and educator based in Arizona. She arranges and writes contemporary choral music, vocal jazz, and indie-influenced original songs. Her music has been performed by ensembles across the country, including Lyyra, Chanticleer, The King's Return, Säje Voices, and more. Recent commissions include works for community choirs, professional vocal groups, and student ensembles of all levels.​MaryAnne's arrangements and compositions have been published by Alfred Music, Graphite Publishing, Anchor Music, Hal Leonard, and Shawnee Press, and she has self-published over 25,000 copies of her work to date. She is the founder of Red Letter Daze, a professional vocal group with over 200,000 followers online and multiple Contemporary A Cappella Recording Award (CARA) recognitions. With Red Letter Daze, she has headlined major events including the NAU Jazz Madrigal Festival and the BOSS Festival (Boston Sings), sharing her original work and signature vocal arrangements with audiences nationwide. Her viral videos—including harmony breakdowns and arrangements of “The Parting Glass,” “The Sound of Silence,” “Carol of the Bells,” —have garnered millions of views across platforms. She also directs the Vocal Jazz and A Cappella programs at Chandler-Gilbert Community College and teaches at A Cappella Academy, a premier summer intensive for young vocalists founded by Avi Kaplan, Ben Bram, and Rob Dietz.​To get in touch with MaryAnne, you can visit her website (maryannemuglia.com) or find her on Instagram (@maryanne.muglia).Email choirfampodcast@gmail.com to contact our hosts.Podcast music from Podcast.coPhoto in episode artwork by Trace Hudson

Giuliano Pisani"L'ignoranza e la scelta"Etica per un'umanità disorientataRonzani Editorewww.ronzanieditore.itGli uomini hanno smarrito la conoscenza e sono in balia di una propaganda vile e abietta, di messaggi fuorvianti, folli, criminali. L'ingiustizia prepara terreni fertili alle sementi dell'odio. Il nemico mortale è l'ignoranza, l'amathia. È qui che attecchisce il fanatismo. La conoscenza dei fatti e la capacità di interrogarli possono cambiare il mondo. Abbiamo il dovere di provarci.L'etica si nutre di libertà. In una società disorientata come l'attuale, che impone ogni giorno scelte complesse, nessuno di noi può permettersi il lusso di non saper distinguere il bene dal male, di non saper tracciare un confine netto tra informazione, propaganda e manipolazione. Qual è il rischio dell'inconsapevolezza? L'ignoranza etica – l'amathia del pensiero greco – è agli antipodi dell'insegnamento socratico, che muove dal dubbio metodico (“so di non sapere”) e ha come fine il rispetto del primo motto delfico: “conosci te stesso”, che interroga il nostro ruolo sociale e ci mette in condizione di prendere decisioni. L'amathès, convinto di sapere ciò che non sa, è facile preda di ideologie e alienazioni e mina alla base, con la sua acriticità, l'obiettivo sociale per definizione: la pacifica convivenza. Come evitare, ciascuno di noi, di cadere vittima della stessa sirena? È lungo il lavoro da fare per riuscire a costruire un nuovo modo di pensare che ci configuri comunità consapevole; ma sarà bene provarci, tenendo a mente che essere coerenti non significa vedere sempre le cose nello stesso modo, ma agire in conformità a ciò che è giusto e doveroso in quel preciso momento, di fronte a quella specifica scelta.Giuliano PisaniFilologo classico e storico dell'arte, è autore di studi, edizioni e traduzioni dal greco e dal latino (Platone, Plutarco, Marsilio Ficino). Ha fornito un'interpretazione innovativa della Cappella degli Scrovegni (I volti segreti di Giotto, Milano, Rizzoli, 2008; La rivoluzione di Giotto, Milano, Skira, 2020) individuandone la chiave di lettura negli scritti di Sant'Agostino. Studi innovativi ha dedicato anche a Orazio, Raffaello e Canova. Ha tenuto seminari e conferenze in molte università e centri culturali europei (spesso in collaborazione con le ambasciate italiane). Ha pubblicato il romanzo Raphael (Milano, GMlibri, 2019) e promosso con Antonia Arslan il progetto “Padova. Casa dei Giusti”, nel cui ambito si inserisce il “Giardino dei Giusti del Mondo di Padova”. Socio effettivo dell'Accademia Galileiana di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti e di altre prestigiose istituzioni, è dal 2017 Cavaliere dell'Ordine al Merito della Repubblica Italiana. IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Marco Ansaldo"La morte di Papa Francesco"L'annuncio della morte di Papa Francesco è stato dato nella Cappella di Casa Santa Marta dal camerlengo, il cardinale Kevin Farrell. Accanto a lui il cardinale Segretario di Stato Pietro Parolin, il Sostituto mons. Edgar Pena Parra e il Maestro delle Cerimonie mons. Diego Ravelli: “Carissimi fratelli e sorelle - le parole di Farrell - con profondo dolore devo annunciare la morte di nostro Santo Padre Francesco. Alle ore 7:35 di questa mattina il Vescovo di Roma, Francesco, è tornato alla casa del Padre. La sua vita tutta intera è stata dedicata al servizio del Signore e della Sua chiesa. Ci ha insegnato a vivere i valori del Vangelo con fedeltà, coraggio ed amore universale, in modo particolare a favore dei più poveri e emarginati. Con immensa gratitudine per il suo esempio di vero discepolo del Signore Gesù, raccomandiamo l'anima di Papa Francesco all'infinito amore misericordioso di Dio Uno e Trino.” Emorragia cerebrale possibile causa della morte. Ieri, a Pasqua, l'ultima apparizione davanti a 35mila fedeli. Bandiere a mezz'asta a Palazzo Chigi, Camera, Senato e Quirinale. Ma anche ambasciate e caserme.

La riflessione di Andrea Candiani al ritorno dalla sua visita alla Cappella degli Scrovegni di Padova.

A touring singer, custom songwriter & music arranger who performs as the high tenor for the R&B/Soul/Pop A Cappella group Ball in the House which as been featured on America's Got Talent and in Cool Whip Commercials. In high school Wallace participated in All-State choirs, Solo and Ensemble competitions, and even had the opportunity to share his talents overseas in Europe. He pursued a degree in music at Florida State University where he was introduced to contemporary A Cappella music. He joined Reverb, a start-up, all-male a cappella group. Later he joined the United States Air Force, an experience that instilled in him the values of leadership, discipline, and the pursuit of excellence. As he transitioned from military life, he found a home in West Palm Beach, Florida, with his beloved wife, Angie. He continued to share his vocal talents with the community, through serving as a cantor for local churches and serenading patrons in restaurants and nightclubs as a crooner. It was during that period that he stumbled upon Ball in the House. Nearly 9 years later, through singing with Ball in the House he has found a way to showcases his talents that allows him to connect with a diverse and appreciative audience. He feels honored to be part of such a storied group where his passion for music can shine.

Perhaps no executive order of President Trump’s has so far been met with as much confusion and consternation as the one issued two weeks ago freezing federal funding for grants and loans. Although it has been blocked temporarily by federal courts, nonprofits and organizations are still reeling from the effect it’s had on grants they’ve won from agencies like the National Endowment for the Arts.  That’s especially true if you’re a nonprofit like Portland choir Cappella Romana, which won a $35,000 NEA grant last May for the premiere of a work about racial reconciliation that fuses Orthodox music with African American gospel. As first reported in Oregon ArtsWatch, the choir was uncertain its NEA grant money could be accessed for performances of Canon for Racial Reconciliation in Seattle and Portland after the federal funding freeze was announced. But a direct appeal to donors, who gave more than $20,000 in 48 hours, has ensured the shows on Feb. 28 and March 1 will go on. On the morning of Feb. 11, the NEA funds appeared in Cappella Romana’s accounts, according to executive director Mark Powell. He joins us to talk about the Canon for Racial Reconciliation, and how the evolving guidance for NEA grants may close the door to works championing racial diversity or marginalized communities.
