Choral Speaking

[catwithcreamy.livejournal.com]

Was anyone here at a school where they did Choral Speaking? It seems to be one of those intriguing lost skills of  yesteryear...linked with elocution lessons perhaps? (Although I can't imagine any Kingscote pupil needing those). I think when I used to play the piano in a music competition festival in the 70s there were still classes (ie competitions) for Choral Speaking, but I can't really be sure.
