Matters needing attention of lead singer in chorus competition and the pronunciation of high notes

As a kind of music, chorus, like other music art forms, is produced and developed with the development of human social life. In the long history of human civilization, chorus art has always been a bright pearl in the treasure house of music culture, and its imprint can be seen everywhere. In the west, whether it is hunting by primitive tribes or later activities such as agriculture, military and sacrifice, there have been forms of mass singing with chorus characteristics. After the Middle Ages, when instrumental music was not fully mature, people had already sung polyphonic music with multiple voices in chorus. Therefore, whether it is used as a religious tool in the church, as a vassal of the nobility in the court, or as an important means of performance in later operas and symphonies, chorus exudes its unique brilliance. Composers of past dynasties have always been interested in chorus creation, leaving a lot of excellent chorus works.

Tracing back to the development history of chorus, it has gone through several stages:

1. ancient Greek hymns-this is a form of collective singing that began to appear in the 6th century BC, and it can also be said to be the embryonic form of chorus. At that time, there were already large-scale music competitions in large-scale religious festivals held by ancient Greeks, but the content must be religious. In fact, chorus performance is just a kind of collective singing with chorus nature, and its content is basically a sacrificial work dedicated to the warriors or Dionysus in ancient Greek myths and legends. At the same time, folk choirs composed of amateur singers also appeared. In addition to religious works, they often sing some works from New Athens plays.

2. The Holy Learning Group in the early biblical era-this is a collective singing group that sings with many religious ceremonies in Christianity. It can also be said that this is one of the oldest forms of chorus. Typical Christian ritual music consists of hymns, prayers and hymns. Among them, hymns are changed from a fixed tune, prayer sutras are usually composed of a short tune fixed by a group and the free play of soloists, while hymns are mostly fixed tunes. The breakthrough of religious music began with the emergence of a large number of semi-religious music and folk songs after the Middle Ages, which opened up new channels for the development of chorus to the people.

3. Mass in the Catholic Church-As a kind of religious music and culture, Mass is the main music in the most solemn ceremony of the Catholic Church, and it is also one of the important sources of chorus artistic expression. The earliest mass also belonged to monophonic music, and the prototype of lead singer and chorus performance appeared in Gregory's chant period. After four or five hundred years of polyphonic music, the performance form of Mass in the17th century has undergone tremendous changes, the content and form have become more secular, and the composition techniques have gradually shifted from polyphonic music style to melody music creation. Mass began to get rid of the rigid hymn tune and had the space for free creation. In addition to the church, mass also appeared on the stage of the concert, which laid a good ideological and material foundation for modern chorus art.

4. Chorus in religious ceremonies-According to historical records, the earliest chorus score appeared in the chorus book around 1430. It can be seen that not only the earliest choir was a choir in religious ceremonies, but also the chorus activity at that time was a regular form of performance. But at this time, the size of the choir is generally not
