ABSTRACT In this study the researchers explore musical expressivity in choral singing. While expressivity is multifaceted, the scope of this article is the role of the choral conductor in developing expressivity during rehearsals. The theoretical framework informed the focus of the open-ended interviews used to collect data. The purpose of the interviews was to determine how three high school choral conductors defined expressivity and also how they developed expressivity during choir rehearsals. Research findings reflect that the choral conductors have different understandings of musical expressivity. It was also found that the choral conductors teach the choir repertoire in isolation from a broad music education. Furthermore, the research findings reveal that insufficient emphasis is placed on expressive singing during rehearsals.

高中合唱团的音乐表现力：三个合唱团的案例

摘要在这项研究中，研究人员探索了合唱中的音乐表现力。尽管表现力是多方面的，但本文的范围是合唱指挥在排练中发展表现力中的作用。理论框架告知了用于收集数据的开放式访谈的重点。访谈的目的是确定三位高中合唱指挥如何定义表达力，以及他们在合唱团排练中如何发展表达力。研究结果表明，合唱指挥对音乐表现力的理解不同。人们还发现，合唱指挥家与广泛的音乐教育隔离地教授合唱曲目。此外，研究发现还表明，在排练期间，对表现力歌唱的重视不足。
