| Description: |
Chapter 5 investigates the place of world song in natural voice and community choir circles in greater depth. It explains why songs from elsewhere play such a prominent part in the repertoire and how they help the movement achieve its broader aims. Drawing on interview and questionnaire responses from choir members as well as voice practitioners, it examines the different orders of attraction associated with songs of varied provenance and the meanings that may be attributed to them in their new environment. More particularly, it explores the appeal and dynamics of singing in a language that is not one’s mother tongue. These issues are explored in greater detail with reference to two cases studies: songs from the ecumenical community of Taizé and polyphonic songs from the Republic of Georgia. |
