Here is the incredible conductor Susan McMane with The Young Women's Chorus of San Francisco singing Libby Larsen's "The Womanly Song of God" at the American Choral Director's Western Division Conference March 15, 2018. These young singers are able to create a sound that doesn't stop as they hold hands and squeeze when they plan to take a breath - this concept of staggered breathing keeps us actively listening.
