dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of projected film visuals on
singers' expressivity in choral performance. The study was divided into three phases. In
Phase One, university choir singers (N = 21) viewed eight audiovisual pairings (two film
excerpts and four choral etudes) and rated these pairings according to perceived music to film
congruency. Based on these ratings, two choral etudes were identified that elicited the
broadest congruency contrasts when paired with the film segments. In Phase Two, a different group of university choir singers (N = 116) rehearsed and
prepared both of the selected choral etudes referred to as “Doh” and “Noo.” Subsequently,
these singers were organized into smaller chamber ensembles (n = 11), and performed each
choral etude three times under the following conditions: (1) while viewing congruent film,
(2) while viewing incongruent film, and (3) with no film projected. After each performance,
singers reported their level of self-expression. At the completion of all three performances,
singers reported their preferred performance condition. Finally, participants listened to their
audio-recorded performances and rated these for performance expressivity and personal
preference. During Phase Three, choral experts (N = 8) rated performance expressivity and
reported personal preference for each audio-recorded performance. A two-way ANOVA with repeated measures found significant main effects of both
etude and film visual performance condition on participants' expressivity ratings (p < .001).
Additionally, a significant etude x film visual performance condition interaction was
discovered (p = .001). Participants rated self-expression significantly higher when singing
with a congruent film compared with other conditions for both etudes (p < .001). Chi-square
tests found most preferred experiences during congruent performances, and least preferred
experiences during incongruent performances for both etudes (p < .001). Expressivity ratings
for audio-recorded performances indicated significantly higher expressivity ratings for the
performances influenced by the congruent film visual of etude “Doh” (p < .05), while no
significant differences were found for etude “Noo” (p > .05). Implications of these findings
are discussed in relation to filmmaking techniques, music education curriculum, choral
rehearsal pedagogy, and composition/performance practice, with recommendations for future
research. | eng |
