Abstract

In this study, we have set out to reveal the importance and rank the fermata occupies in choral works, as well as all its facets - the basic stages of its usage, the types of fermata and the manner of execution for each type; also, its dosage and the exactness of the closing gesture. (In this survey, we intend to show what a fermata are, the types of fermata, but also how to execute it). We also recommend a set of practical exercises meant to ensure its proper execution. In order to facilitate the understanding of the fermata, this survey proposes a set of conducting patterns and musical examples.
