๐Ÿ˜Ž Embrace the Cluster ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Most singers are perfectly happy singing a major chord.

But what about this? ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

๐Ÿ’ฅ CLUSTER ๐Ÿ’ฅ

In this exercise, the choir moves back and forth between:

๐ŸŽถ A beautiful major chord
๐ŸŒถ๏ธ A dense dissonant cluster

Every time we switch, the singers have to change their note. So that means no major chord and no cluster will be the same.

The challenge is to both tune the major chords and also to stop treating the cluster as a mistake.

๐ŸŽฏ A great exercise for listening, tuning, harmonic awareness, and becoming comfortable with dissonance.
