More about Circlesinging..
Circlesinging is a form of group singing that
connects with ancestral ways of music making, spontaneously composing
choral music, layering melodies, harmonies and rhythms.Since the dawn of
humanity, people have been singing together to bond, mark events,
mourn, gather courage, endure hard work or simply to celebrate. These
singing gatherings allowed everyone to take part, creating musical
landscapes where the less skilled or confident could contribute and
hold the space while the most daring or musically aware could be
creative and inspiring to others. Although these forms of expression
have been practiced for thousands of years in different cultures, they
have only recently been named circlesongs, and brought to the
attention of the Western musical world by the renowned jazz vocalist,
improviser and educator Bobby McFerrin.
