The Southern Gospel Choir is a gospel choir based at the Tasmanian Conservatorium of Music in Hobart, Tasmania, and is directed by Dr. Andrew Legg. The choir and its band, the Very Righteous Gospel Band were formed by Dr. Legg in 2000, soon after he became a staff member at the Conservatorium.〔 〕〔 〕 The Southern Gospel Choir and Legg have received acclaim internationally with leading gospel artists in the USA. Legg has worked with many prominent US gospel artists including Myron Butler, Kirk Franklin, Horace Clarence Boyer, Marvin Weatherford and Xanielle Davis.〔 The choir were nominated for an ARIA award in 2005.〔 〕 == Choir structure== The choir consists of three main groups: * The main choir, which requires a single audition and is open to all members of the public as well as Conservatorium students. This main choir now numbers at over 120.〔http://www.utas.edu.au/music/SGC.html〕 *The "45". This smaller, more exclusive group requires a second, more extensive audition, and handles more professional performances and recordings. * The "Disciples". This group ranges in number from 6 to 12 depending on the performance, who usually have their own individual microphones in performances with the 45 or main choir, and sometimes perform small professional and promotional gigs on their own. The Disciples are made up of singers selected by Legg and vocal coach Maria Lurighi from the 45, specifically for their vocal sounds and the mix of the group together. Members of the choir range in age from 14 to 60 and come from many varied backgrounds and parts of the Tasmanian community.〔http://www.myspace.com/southerngospelchoir〕 Many Hobart musicians, especially singers, are or have previously been members of the Southern Gospel Choir, and some have been featured as soloists, including vocal coach Maria Lurighi. Soloists are usually picked from the choir by Lurighi or Dr. Legg to suit a particular song. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Southern Gospel Choir」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
