Inside Improvisation : vol. 6 Learning a language requires listening on many levels to the meanings, the sounds, the intentions, and the inflections or nuances of the language. The first chapters of this volume on learning the language of jazz focus on the prerequisites of chord scales, approach notes to chord tones and target notes, scale motives and sequences, and lines. Part two qualifies improvisational techniques into three areas; melodic, harmonic and sonic (rhythmic devices are the focus of Vol. IV, Melodic Rhythms) and it is designed as a menu of soloing devices from which you can select your personal course of study. Over 100 specific devices are discussed and conceptualized so as to give the improviser more depth of expression and a greater well from which to draw ideas. Among the numerous topics presented are: guide tones, voice leading, chord substitutions, three tonic system for composition, tritonics, hexatonics, tonal expansions, whole tone playing, augmented symmetric scales, double diminished scales, limited range and large range playing, shapes, blues melodies, accents, comping as a soloing device, common tones, articulations, laying back on the...

Fundamentals of Notation Sight Singing and Music Theory-Music theory has an unfair reputation as an arcane complicated subject. But it can be easy to learn and beneficial for a successful career in singing. In Music Essentials for Singers and Actors award-winning composer Andrew Gerle offers an accessible presentation conveying an in-depth practical method for learning the fundamentals of music theory and sight singing for aspiring and working singers alike. Gerle leads readers step by step through every aspect of written music using examples pulled entirely from real-world Broadway scores. He delves deeply into each concept working thoroughly through its basis in theory and connecting it to the music that we hear and singevery day. His incremental and methodical approach demystifies abstract concepts and his unique 1-START method for score analysis teaches singers to scan a new song for large-scale patterns encouraging them to read musical words instead of single notes. Gerle also shows how to focus on the visual graphical nature of musical notation learning to read music as a series of shapes - a technique useful for all readers but especially those with dyslexia and other visual learning challenges. Each chapter is accompanied by downloadable audio examples and exercises to lock in newly learned concepts.

In this volume Father M. Owen Lee writes for the 21st-century operagoer briskly and stylishly telling the stories of 100 of the world's greatest music dramas – from Aïda to Die Zauberflöte. Thestories told in music by Mozart Wagner Verdi Puccini and Strauss are brought to life here with wit insight and boundless enthusiasm. When compiling and composing this pocket-sized handbook Fr. Lee considered the unique needsof the modern operagoer. Contemporary text-translating services have made pure synopses somewhat redundant. Fr. Lee therefore has focused his commentaries less on the comings and goings of plot than on subtext motivation andbackground information. He also suggests his single favorite recording for each of the 100 operas discussed. In all he has written a guide that will prove invaluable to the opera novice and useful even for the aficionado.

A well-written textbook by a learned musician practicing his craft. The analyses are clearly argued, and Wen projects a reassuring sense of authenticity in his approach to tonal music analysis. The book will be of interest to many musicians, especially those focused on Schenkerian theory and analysis. I believe the book will be a welcome addition to the range of teaching manuals on the subject. ? Music Theory OnlineMusic theorist Eric Wen presents in-depth analyses of seven masterworks from the common-practice period of Western art music: Bach: Air from Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D, BWV 1068 Mendelssohn: Andante con moto tranquillo from Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor, Op. 49 Schubert: Nacht und Traüme, D. 827 Haydn: Adagio ? Vivace assai from Symphony No. 94 in G, Hob. I:94 Mozart: Molto Allegro from Symphony No. 40 in G minor, K. 550 Beethoven: Marcia funebre: Adagio assai from Symphony No. 3 in E-flat, Op. 55 Brahms: Un poco presto e con sentimento from Violin Sonata No. 3 in D minor, Op. 108 Wen employs the analytic approach developed by Heinrich Schenker, a method that uses musical notation to clarify and illuminate a work's structural hierarchies. Copiously illustrated with analytic musical examples that elucidate the tonal organization of each of the seven works, this study also explores aspects of form, rhythmic organization, and programmatic meaning. This volume will be of particular interest to musicologists and professional musicians, and it will also appeal to listeners keen to probe the rich complexities of these masterpieces.

Unlocking the Masters Series No. 4. Mozart was the first composer whose operas have never left the international repertoire and for many he remains one of the finest vocal composers who ever lived. In a sense all of his music is vocal music depending as it does on arresting singable melodies but in his great operas single arias and sacred works Mozart put his melodic gift to work revealing the subtleties and expressive potential of a wide range of texts in languages ranging from Italian to Latin to German. In every case he created masterpieces from operas such as The Marriage of Figaro Don Giovanni and The Magic Flute to the sacred choral motet Ave Verum Corpus and of course the unfinished Requiem his final project. This second Getting the Most Out of Mozart volume in our Unlocking the Masters series focuses on Mozart's great operas and other vocal works but also discusses numerous lesser-known compositions from operas he wrote as a child to insertion arias for favorite singers or operas by other composers. In each case David Hurwitz describes how the musical setting and choice of instruments supports the text. He takes readers through the seven major operas aria by aria showing how Mozart uses vocal style and orchestration to create believable and moving characters that remain the standard for characterization in music to which all composers and dramatists aspire. The accompanying CD from Telarc Records includes 14 works.

But Schubert's ?stage? was not to be the public theaters of the repressive Metternich regime in Vienna but the far less censorable ?theater of the mind.? Schubert's theater of song would spring to life in intimate social gatherings of like-minded friends wherever a singer and a fortepiano were available. They rightfully belong to every music lover.
