Info zu Press Forward: Singing Through a Pandemic

At a time when many collegiate choral groups have been forced to postpone in-person rehearsals, the BYU Singers have found creative ways to continue making music together. Even amidst all the necessary safety precautions, students say they are just grateful to be singing.

“Many of our conductor and singer colleagues are still stuck entirely online,” he said. “Teaching choir online is frustrating and nearly impossible, so we thought it would be good to show them a bit of hope for what’s possible.”

On September 28, members of the BYU Singers gathered in person to rehearse “Alleluia” by Elaine Hagenberg. Safety measures included air purifiers, temperature checks and masks made specifically for choirs. In addition, every member stood safely distanced throughout the Madsen Recital Hall. This was the group’s first live session together since March.

“We learned the song and recorded it after less than a week of rehearsals,” Crane said. The video premiered on October 8.

Choir member Grace Hancock explained that one of the most difficult tasks was achieving a unified sound while standing so far apart from the other singers. “Still, even with all the safety measures, it’s very clear that we are extremely fortunate to be able to sing together,” she said. “Singing is an even more sacred experience to me than it was before.”

“Choral singing in the era of COVID-19 requires an elevated level of commitment from each singer,” said student David Kime. “I felt that I needed to take more individual responsibility musically as well as spiritually and emotionally to counteract the new difficulties that we faced. It is during turbulent times that we are most pressed to innovate.”
