Ruth Rainero – I just have goosebumps, this
is so fabulous. I don’t know the church has changed that
quickly in such a short time. I have a question; I’m going
to give a comparison to a piece of legislation in the United States
called Title 9, (in 1975). It’s legislation that college sports
give equal money and equal time to women’s sports teams. In
some areas this worked very well; other areas, there’s been
great resistance….[listen to audio link for the remainder of the
question] Audio link. |

Theresa Radomski – To me one of the most incredible aspects
of this is the musical education that these young people are getting.
It is phenomenal, intensive and great for their development as musicians.
I’m wondering about the vocal development of these girls,
I know it’s a fairly new phenomenon. You mentioned in one
of the slides how the girls may tend to imitate the boys and so
forth. How is the scene among colleagues in the more operatic world
– do girls as choristers tend to develop as singers? Audio

Perry Smith – I’m surprised that
they didn’t bring up the issue of puberty, specifically with
the girls' voices not changing and being allowed to stay in
the choir longer, so that the work that you do when they are younger,
you would have better examples – no cracking, no breaking
of the voices, nobody leaving the choir. I’m surprised that
wasn’t even mentioned. Did you address that? Audio
