“There's three things we have in music: the choir, the rehearsals, and the concerts. We put the people first, not the product. There's a lot of coaches who have this collateral damage thing about winning, and we choral directors have this collateral damage thing about getting a superior rating. It just doesn't work that way. I put the kids first, and it's amazing how my rehearsals changed.”Dr. J. Edmund Hughes [b.1947] retired from the Music Faculty of Chandler-Gilbert Community College in August, 2011 after a teaching career which began in 1971.  While at CGCC, he taught choir, music theory, conducting, and organized two on-campus choral festivals per year.

Most recently he was an Adjunct Professor at the University of Puget Sound (Tacoma, WA), where he directed the Chorale. His choirs have had the distinction of performing at ACDA, NAfME, and Arizona MEA conventions. In April, 2017 he directed “Requiem” by John Rutter, in his Carnegie Hall debut. He has also presented lectures and demonstrations on special interest sessions at ACDA and AMEA conventions. In 2002 he received the Arizona Outstanding Choral Educator Award by ACDA, and in 2005 he was honored as the Arizona Music Educator of the Year by AMEA.  He received the first Lifetime Achievement Award granted by the University of Arizona Choral Music Department (December, 2011) and the Lifetime Achievement Award from AMEA (February 2012). Most recently (2024) he received the Distinguished Alumni Award from the University of Arizona School of Music, and in 2026 the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Arizona Choral Educators.Dr. Hughes is a past President of Arizona ACDA, has served AMEA in numerous capacities.

"I have to say that the best experience was to conduct choirs on many levels, with amateurs who loved what they did, it was a pleasure working with them just because of that, and also working with higher-level groups and being able to do other things. I started teaching children from 6 years old up to 20. I had non-auditioned groups and more advanced students. That for me was my best teaching experience."Tiago Marques studied Piano, Guitar, Singing and Choral Conducting at the Academia de Amadores de Música (AAM) and the Escola Artística de Música do Conservatório Nacional (EAMCN), Portugal's largest and most prestigious school in primary to secondary music education.

In this episode of The Choral Director's Toolbox, Dr. William Baker reflects on the vital role of mentorship and leadership development in "Choral Interns." Drawing from more than four decades of experience, he outlines how thoughtful internship programs can shape the next generation of choral conductors, emphasizing meaningful podium time, comprehensive artistic involvement, and the responsibility of today's leaders to invest in those who will carry the art forward. In today's listener question, a conductor grapples with how to respond to an unfair concert review. Dr. Baker offers practical and gracious guidance, encouraging professionalism, perspective, and proactive communication with members of the press. Today's inspiration is "Easter Morning" by Olaf Christiansen, performed by The St. Olaf Choir under the direction of Kenneth Jennings. Enjoy a simple and elegant anthem well suited for the Sunday following Easter. Join us for a thoughtful discussion on mentorship, leadership, and the long view of building a lasting choral legacy.

Pastoral ministry seeks to include all those who feel called to offer their talents for praise and service to the Church. Music is a unique ministry in that, while we want all to join us, those who participate must have some sort of experience in music. It doesn't necessarily need to be professional experience - singing in the shower can count as experience for a new potential choir member, and a simple handbell workshop can familiarize a music minister with starting in the handbell choir. But when it comes to instrumental ensembles, how do we make sure that all those who join us with their instruments in hand feel rooted in an ensemble and confident to work within it?Today we speak to Luke Rosen about just that. Since 2019, Luke Rosen has served as the Director of Choral Music at Evergreen Local Schools, where he has taught middle school and high school choir, music theory, songwriting, and voice class. For 15 years before that, he served as Director of Choral and Liturgical Music at St. John's Jesuit High School. In addition Luke is a published composer with multiple companies, including ECS, Santa Barbara Music Publishing, OCP, Liturgical Press, and GIA/WLP. Today we speak from compositional, directorial, and ministerial viewpoints, all focused on arranging for the unexpected. It's a great conversation as we approach Holy Week.

“If we want things to stay as they are, things will have to change.”Costume designer Jenny Beavan joins hosts Andy Nelson and Pete Wright to discuss The Leopard, directed by Luchino Visconti—the landmark 1963 epic that showed her what period design could be.A three-time Oscar winner whose career spans A Room with a View, Mad Max: Fury Road, and Cruella, Beavan traces The Leopard back to a Soho cinema in the late sixties and the influence of a mentor who kept returning to what Piero Tosi achieved there. "He was obsessive, Piero Tosi. I don't think he was happy because it was never perfect enough. But he was one of the most incredible costume designers ever." The conversation also moves through her recent Nicholas Hytner film The Choral and the challenge of building an authentic world on nearly nothing—which turns out to be its own kind of craft lesson.Watch the conversation on YouTubeWatch & Stream The Leopard — Apple TV · Amazon · Letterboxd · TrailerAbout Jenny Beavan IMDb · InstagramReferenced in This Episode Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius — 1968 recording, Adrian Boult, Coventry CathedralSource Material The Leopard by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa — AmazonIf You Enjoyed This Conversation The Next Reel — Mad Max series The Film Board — Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga Movies We Like — Costume Designer Deborah L.

“This is a way to understand how the voice operates in all its parts – perceptually, physiologically, and acoustically -- so that we can learn to stop doing things that are unnecessary for a particular outcome. A lot of people get worried when they hear anything talking about muscles or working the voice or effort, that we're talking about doing it all all the time. Why do we do what we do in this profession, and how can we utilize some of this science- and evidence-based knowledge to help ourselves not eliminate the things we say but inform them?”Dr. Brian J. Winnie is the Director of Choral Studies at Western Illinois University, where he supervises the graduate choral conducting program, teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in choral conducting and choral literature, and conducts the Chamber Singers and the flagship ensemble, the University Singers. He previously served as the Director of Choral Activities & Voice and was chair of the music department at Southwestern College in Winfield, KS. Prior to his tenure in higher education, Dr. Winnie was the Artistic Director of ChoralSounds NW, a community choir based in Burien, WA, and he taught for seven years in public education at both the middle and high school levels.An active festival conductor and adjudicator, Dr. Winnie has been artist-in-residence in Ekaterinburg, Russia and has worked with festival choirs throughout the United States. He is a frequent guest lecturer/workshop leader and has presented on "Contemporary Vocal Technique in the Choral Rehearsal," "Redefining the Choral Warm-Up," and "21st-Century Choral Pedagogy." Dr. Winnie has published articles in the Voice and Speech Review, Choral Journal, Voice Foundation Newsletter, International Choral Bulletin, and ChorTeach, and he is the editor and contributing author to The Choral Conductor's Companion and The Voice Teacher's Cookbook: Creative Recipes for Teachers of Singing both published by Meredith Music Publications and distributed by GIA Publications.Choirs under his direction have performed at state conventions and received accolades in both international and national competitions. A native of Pennsylvania, Dr. Winnie received his B.S. in Music Education from the Pennsylvania State University, Master of Music Education from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and his Doctor of Musical Arts in Choral Conducting from the University of Washington.

In this episode of The Choral Director's Toolbox, host Dr. William Baker reflects on "Choral Accessibility for the Visually Impaired," sharing a personal story from his years directing a large suburban church choir. Through the experience of welcoming blind singers into the ensemble, Dr. Baker explores practical strategies and resources that allow visually impaired musicians to participate fully in the choral experience. With thoughtful preparation, creative rehearsal practices, and the use of services such as the Library of Congress National Library Service for the Blind, choirs can become more inclusive communities where every singer's gifts are valued and supported. Contact information for the National Library Services for the Blind is 888-657-7323 or nlsm@loc.gov. This week's listener question comes from Wayne, a community chorus director in Ohio who is struggling with negative comments from his predecessor. Dr. Baker offers steady counsel on professionalism, patience, and leadership, reminding directors that graciousness and consistent artistic excellence are the most effective responses to criticism. Today's inspiration blends two powerful spirituals: Andre Thomas's arrangement of "Keep Your Lamps" and the African praise song "Oh Freedom," heard together in a spirited performance by the William Baker Festival Singers from their 2015 Amber Waves recording "Wondrous Love."

Before we start talking movies, Megan has some news. Then: We often say on Spoilerpiece that movies we select to review end up being thematically related, even when we don't intend them to be. Well, not today, gang! THE CHORAL (5:50) and THE RIP (24:12) could not be less alike if they're directors (Nicholas Hytner and Joe Carnahan, respectively) made conscious decisions to make them live on opposite ends of the movie spectrum. Evan and Dave take on THE CHORAL (Megan had screener problems), an all-over-the-place drama about a chorus putting together a performance under the heavy cloud of World War I. Ralph Fieness is great. Everything else? Hmm... Then there's THE RIP (and if you forget what this flick is called, it will remind you), which all of us watched. This police thriller about some Miami PD cops seizing a giant stash of cartel money has some tense moments, but overall we didn't love it (even if we didn't hate it). Though we ackowledge Ben Affleck blows the roof off this one. Matt Damon? Not so much. Over on Patreon, we pay tribute to Rob Reiner and talk about A FEW GOOD MEN.

"The Choral" is a British historical drama film co-produced and directed by Nicholas Hytner and written by Alan Bennett. Set in 1916, during World War I, in the fictional town of Ramsden, Yorkshire, the film follows the members of the local choral society, which recruits a group of teenage boys and girls for a performance of Edward Elgar's "The Dream of Gerontius," a work chosen because a German did not write it. It stars Ralph Fiennes, Roger Allam, Mark Addy, Alun Armstrong, Robert Emms, and Simon Russell Beale. The film had its world premiere at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its feel-good story and performances. Hytner and Fiennes were both kind enough to spend some time speaking with us about their work and experiences making the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from Sony Pictures Classics. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...

Nicholas Hytner's The Choral, a delightful drama set in 1916 Yorkshire, is in cinemas now, folks. It features costumes designed by the legendary Jenny Beavan, who is one of the best costume designers in the business. Nominated for 12 Oscars, winner of three, Beavan has worked with directors like Robert Altman, James Ivory, and George Miller across an astonishing forty-year career, and we were delighted when she popped into the podbooth recently to talk with our Chris Hewitt about that career and her approach to costume design. Enjoy.
