Ensemble Description:
CHORALE is the advanced choral ensemble at Oshkosh West High School and consists of 10th–12th grade voices. Chorale rehearses daily and focuses on advanced sight-reading and SATB repertoire from the Renaissance to the Twentieth Century, with a particular emphasis on choral masterworks and/or music of great European and American composers. Healthy and proper vocal techniques, as well as the mastery of a rich and mature choral tone, are stressed during rehearsals and performances.
Chorale maintains a very active schedule and often works with guest conductors and clinicians. This auditioned ensemble performs at least four formal concerts each year and sings at OWHS Graduation. Rehearsals and performances outside of the school day, including District Solo & Ensemble Festival, are graded requirements for members of this ensemble. Students are expected to program for the entire school year.
