One
of the possible meanings of Amplify is “to increase the loudness of sound
especially by mechanical or electronic means”. Therefore, amplifying the Choir simply
means using mechanical or electronic means to increase the loudness of all the sound
the Choir makes while presenting their piece.
Reaching
to the ears of the Audience is a major priority of a Choir. The Choir wants every
thing in their presentation and every aspect of their presentation to be heard
clearly and in the way they want, and in the way they have made it sound.
Everything
in their presentation will include, most of the time, their voices and their
musical instruments. Every aspect of their presentation will include the time
during the presentation when they sing out loudly and vibrantly or when they
sing silently almost whispering, or when voices hold and an instrument is to
fill in the interlude.
These
things and aspects that their presentation may include or carry with it, are
sounds that are precious to the Choir and which they have carefully prepared.
This is what they want the Audience to hear rightly and clearly.
