Abstract

As constituting elements of the musical performance, choral intonation and tuning are part of the essence of the art of music, representing one of the most important and, also, complex components of plurivocal music, as the elements that can provide each interpretation with correctness, intelligibility, coherence and a plus of expressiveness. In the absence of a correct intonation and a perfect sound balance between the voices of the choir, one cannot speak of style or of an interpretative concept.
