[HANASHIR:6406] Re: choir warm-ups

You didn't say what kind or level of choir you have, but years ago when we had 
another director, he brought in a set up exercises that we had fun with, so I 
bought the book for myself. It is called: Sing Legato, a collection of Original 
studies in Vocal Production and Musicianship. It is written by Kenneth Jennings.

Each exercize emphasizes a particular style for example:
Sing Legato; staccato is short; marcato is strong, etc.

It sounds elementary, but some of them were challanging depending on your group.

I myself just harmonize to exercizes as I see fit, especially as they get lower 
and I cannot reach them.
