Conductor David Hoose turns toward the next movement By Jeremy Eichler Globe Staff,Updated February 18, 2021, 9:00 a.m. Email to a Friend David Hoose believes that, on its face, choral music can be difficult to love. It’s an unexpected sentiment from the conductor of Cantata Singers, one of the city’s most treasured ensembles, but Hoose has his reasons: The sound of a chorus doesn’t have as much coloristic glamour or layered complexity as the sound of an orchestra; at a choral concert, there is nothing to watch — no bows dancing in unison or percussion vividly struck; there are none of the dramatic plots or the costumes found in opera; and in many choral works, you can’t even understand the words well enough to appreciate the subtlety of their relationship to the music.
