The Elektra Sound - Word Stress

Under a blossoming magnolia tree, Vancouver-based Elektra Women’s Choir’s (www.elektra.ca) Artistic Director Morna Edmundson shares her ideas on how to attend to word stress in a vocal line to best communicate the poetry to the audience. Elektra's mandate is "to inspire and lead in the choral art form through excellence in performance and the creation, exploration, and celebration of women's repertoire."
