Choir
A choir ( ; also known as a chorale or chorus) is a musical ensemble of singers. Choral music, in turn, is the music written specifically for such an ensemble to perform. Choirs may perform music from the classical music repertoire, which spans from the medieval era to the present, or popular music repertoire. Most choirs are led by a conductor, who leads the performances with arm, hand, and facial gestures. The term ''choir'' is very often applied to groups affiliated with a church (whether or not they actually occupy the quire), whereas a ''chorus'' performs in theatres or concert halls, but this distinction is not rigid. Choirs may sing without instruments, or accompanied by a piano, pipe organ, a small ensemble, or an orchestra. A choir can be a subset of an ensemble; thus one speaks of the "woodwind choir" of an orchestra, or different "choirs" of voices or instruments in a polychoral composition. In typical 18th century to 21st century oratorios and masses, 'ch ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sounding Board
A sounding board, also known as a tester and abat-voix is a structure placed above and sometimes also behind a pulpit or other speaking platform that helps to project the sound of the speaker. It is usually made of wood. The structure may be specially shaped to assist the projection, for example, being formed as a parabolic reflector. In the typical setting of a church building, the sounding board may be ornately carved or constructed. The term "abat-voix," from the French word for the same thing (''abattre'' (“to beat down”) + ''voix'' (“voice”)), is also used in English. The term “sounding board” is also used figuratively to describe a person who listens to a speech or proposal in order that the speaker may rehearse or explore the proposition more fully. The term is also used inter-personally to describe one person listening to another, and especially to their ideas. When a person listens and responds with comments, they provide a perspective that otherwise would no ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Roland Doré (sculptor)
Roland Doré was a 17th-century sculptor and his workshop or "atelier" produced many sculptures for the ''enclos paroissiaux'' or "parish church enclosure or closes" of Brittany. In particular his work can be seen on calvaries and in the church's south porch. He was born in 1616 and died in 1660. Little detail of his life is known but it is recorded that he practised as an architect in Landerneau, as well as running his workshop, and was recorded as calling himself the "''Sculpteur du Roi''" (The King's sculptor). His works, all of an ecclesiastical nature, are mainly located in Léon and the north of Cornouaille. They can be taken as works by Doré's workshop rather than just by Doré himself. Brittany is particularly rich in calvaries, some of a very elaborate nature. In most cases the calvary involves both the crucifixion cross and side crosses or gibbets bearing the good and the bad robbers. Below this, on the crosspieces, were statues of those present at the crucifixion. A ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Herbot
Saint Herbot, also called Saint Herblon and Saint Hermelan (not to be confused with ), is one of the semi-legendary Breton saints, not officially recognized by the Catholic Church. His cult was very popular among Breton peasants, who saw in him a protector of horses and horned animals. There is a life of him in Latin, the ''Vita Herbaudi''. In French sources his name is sometimes spelled Herbod, Herbaut, Erbaud or Herboth. His semi-legendary life The evidence as to the life of this Breton saint is very slight, and estimates of his date range from the 6th century to the 14th. Even his historical existence is not certain, some considering him only an avatar of the mythical Celtic king Gwar or Guéor, supposed to be buried under the tumulus of Roc'h Bleingor which overlooks the hamlet of , Finistère. Christian tradition says that he belonged to a powerful family in Britain, that he came to Armorica and first settled in Berrien where he lived as a hermit in a forest, obeyed e ...
