Where should the chorus be placed in a score for concert band? Below the brass and above the percussion?
There is no standard for placement of chorus in band scores. As a conductor, I've seen the chorus placed at the top of the score, the bottom of the score, and in the middle, between the saxes and the brass.
I prefer it in the middle since I'm working with a very amateur chorus singing with an excellent but still amateur band, and with it in the middle, I find it easier to pay more attention to the printed score overall and not just focus on the choral staves, yet have the choral staves remain my main focus for most of the piece.
I hate having the chorus either at the very top or the very bottom.
But there really is no standard for where to place it. -- David H. Bailey [email protected] _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
