is the genesis of sound. Gesture, the conductor's technique, is
the frame-work by which we evoke the sounds we hear and wish to
hear from our ensembles.â€ - James Jordan Both instrumental and
choral conductors will benefit from the insight contained in the
DVD The Anatomy of Conducting: Architecture & Essentials. This
insightful master-class includes tools such as multi-angle video
demonstrations and state-of-the-art motion capture animation,
allowing conductors to closely study the gesture of renowned
conductors James Jordan and Eugene Migliaro Corporon.
Revolutionary graphics show the skeletal movement of each
conductor in real-time to give conductors an in-depth and
accurate picture of body mechanics and architecture. By delving
into the physical process of the conducting gesture, one can
discover a wealth of new knowledge and apply it directly to your
work with a performing ensemble. In his introduction to the
accompanying workbook, Jordan say
