| Description: |
This comprehensive collection of essays on the art of singing gathers in one source the many different facets of vocal performance. Based on the premise that vocal technique and performance artistry are inseparable, this book covers such topics as vocal techniques, interpretation and communication, vocal pedagogy, musicianship, career preparation and development, performance, and vocal health. Written in a direct, accessible style, these concise essays, many ofthem previously published and revised for this volume, will serve as a practical technical and performance guide for voice teachers and performers. |
| Synopsis: |
A comprehensive volume on all facets of vocal performance, On the Art of Singing considers in detail established comparative vocal techniques, the specifics of interpretation and communication, the factors that contribute to career preparation and maintainance, and the application of functional information to the art of singing. Topics that most frequently concern singers and teachers at all levels of accomplishment are reviewed. These include an examination of pedagogical approaches to breath management, to laryngeal freedom, and to resonance balance, advice on career building, considerations of style and interpretation, and information on the physiology and acoustics of the singing voice. Data from diverse sources, otherwise inaccessible to the singer, are assembled and interpreted in the light of performance artistry. From his own long and distinguished career as a performer, teacher of singing, and vocal researcher, the author aims at making practical the relationship of technical proficiency to freedom in performance. |
