Da anni nel canto si assiste al fenomeno del moltiplicarsi delle tecniche vocali. Queste tecniche, quasi tutte ispirate al meccanicismo foniatrico più datato, hanno una pretesa di scientificità che è paradossalmente smentita sul nascere dalla loro violazione dei principi primi della fisica acustica e della fisiologia. Il risultato è un canto forzato, faticoso e monocorde, frutto della moltiplicazione dei controlli muscolari diretti.
Al di sopra di queste forme inferiori di canto si pone il canto di alto livello dell’antica scuola italiana, che si basa al contrario sulla semplificazione degli elementi di controllo, sul rispetto dei principi funzionali di massima resa e minimo sforzo e ha come esito la purezza del suono, la risonanza libera, la facilità di emissione e la ricchezza coloristica, dinamica ed espressiva.
Demolire le impalcature pseudo-tecniche che sempre di più soffocano la voce, e ripristinare l’antica tecnica vocale italiana sono diventati al giorno d’oggi i due obiettivi più importanti che deve porsi ogni serio cantante e maestro di canto.

Fragmente - nicht ,,Lieder im ublichen Sinn. Fragmente, zugleich ,,Labyrinthe, existenziell wie asthetisch: Doppelbodigkeit von Musik und Sprache. Texte des mittleren Holderlin, als diesem die Welt aufbrach, als er in ihren Rissen und Trummern herumtastete, die verschiedenen Zeiten und Raume durcheinander bringend, aufeinander beziehend (so besonders exponiert in dem ersten Fragment ,,Tende Stromfeld, das Holderlin auf die Ruckseite einer Wascherechnung notierte). - Ein auslosender Moment der Komposition war die Vorstellung des Holderlinschen Gesangs, wie ihn Wilhelm Waiblinger beschrieb: Hat er eine Zeitlang (auf dem Klavier) gespielt und ist seine Seele ganz weich geworden, so fallt plotzlich sein Auge zu, sein Haupt richtet sich empor, er scheint vergehen zu wollen, und er beginnt zu singen. In welcher Sprache, das konnte ich nie erfahren, so oft ich es auch horte; aber er tat es mit uberschwanglichem Pathos, und es schauderte einem in allen Nerven, ihn so zu sehen und zu horen. Schwermut und Trauer waren der Geist seines Gesanges.Formal sind die Fragmente zum Teil reduzierbar auf die musikalischen Prinzipien Fantasia, Canto, Ornamento, Rondo, Recitativo. Inhaltlich ist der Zyklus eine Art Irrfahrt durch die Labyrinthe der Aussen- zur Innen-Welt, uber die verschiedenen Situationen von Traum, Lust, Sehnsucht, Trotz, Trauer, Verzweiflung bis zur Resignation, schon jenseits der Verzweiflung. Mit gewissem Vorbehalt: eine andere Winterreise.(Friedhelm Dohl)CD:Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (baritone), Aribert Reimann (piano)Dreyer-Gaido CD 21023

The three pieces From Jewish Life were composed by Swiss-American composer Ernest Bloch in 1924, the same year he took U.S. citizenship. Though clearly inspired and influenced by Jewish experience, they are purely concert pieces, and do not provide any specific liturgical significance.

The first movement, Prayer, is a deeply heartfelt plea to the almighty. As Neil W Levin writes, The initial four-note motive in the minor mode, together with its elaboration in the ensuing phrases, sounds as if it might have served as the skeletal model for Max Janowski's (1912-1991) now well-known setting of the High Holyday prayer Avinu Malkenu. This prayer has special meaning in my own spiritual life, as I have been singing it since my childhood. Both Prayer and Janowski's Avinu Malkenu are cantorial in nature, to be sung with heartfelt pathos.

The second movement, Supplication (the act of begging humbly), has more angst, almost a sense of urgency as a result of the rhythmic motor in the piano. The third movement, Jewish Song, evokes a quintessentially Eastern-European melancholy. Its falling motives with bent intonation might represent the pain of the Jewish experience.

The works were dedicated to Dutch-American cellist Hans Kindler, a highly influential musician of his time, and founder of the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington, D.C. Mr. Kindler was the soloist for the world premiere of Bloch's most celebrated work, Schelomo in 1917.

Though the popularity of Bloch's oeuvre has been dominated by works of Jewish connection, we should not forget that Bloch had many other stylistic periods, including Franco-Belgian, modal, serial, and even American folk. In 1927, he was awarded Musical America's composition prize in a unanimous vote, despite being regarded as an outsider by American music writers at the time. His winning work America (1928) was performed by every major orchestra and conductor in the following seasons. May we be proud of his contributions to American music.

Come ntarios del Espanol:
Tres poemas de Merce Prat han servido de hilo conductor para musicar este triptico, siguiendo siempre de manera rigorosa las sugerentes imagenes de unos versos llenos de ironia y ternura. Obra estructurada en tres movimientos. PRELUDI. Primer movimiento. Despues del inicio por parte de la cuerda se impone el clarinete con unas melodias que, como preguntas, se van repitiendo a lo largo del periodo para llegar a una resolucion conclusiva en los ultimos compases. SCHERZO. Glosa a la frivolidad que la nostalgia interrumpe en ocasiones, aunque siempre retornando a la placida seduccion del ritmo festivo original. ARIA. Un canto amoroso a la Epifania que reincide en el dialogo entre el clarinete y la cuerda y que de manera continuada intensifica la trama hasta dejar en suspenso el acorde final.

This delightful new composition takes its inspiration from the classic French swash buckling tale of Cyrano de Bergerac and his fight to win the love of the beautiful maiden Roxane. The subject was a perfect departure point for composing a symphonic poem with a variety of musical aspects reflecting the story. Lyricism (the theme of Roxane), dramatic episodes, as well as Debussy-inspired impressionist moments are some of the elements that give the band and its conductor the chance to expose themselves as a versatile ensemble being able to create colour, to sing and to play like virtuosi. This work is sure to become a standard item in the concert band repertoire.

In Cyrano verklankt de componist Piet Swerts het romantische en tragische verhaal van de briljante dichter en zwaardkunstenaar Cyrano de Bergerac en zijn mooie, intellectuele nicht Roxane, op wie hij tot over zijn oren verliefdis. Zijn uiterlijk, met name zijn buitengewoon grote neus, belet hem om zijn gevoelens tegenover haar te uiten. De vele verwikkelingen die uit deze situatie voortkomen zijn te herkennen in deze programmatische compositie.

Piet Swerts erzahlt hier musikalisch die tragisch-romantische Geschichte von Cyrano de Bergerac, der einem verliebten Freund hilft, seine Liebe zu erobern und sich dann selbst unglucklich in dessen Angebetete verliebt. Diese Komposition spiegelt die Geschichte mit einer Vielfalt an musikalischen Aspekten eindrucksvoll wider. Lyrik, dramatische Episoden sowie von Debussy inspirierte, impressionistische Momente sind einige der Elemente, die dem Blasorchester und seinem Dirigenten die Chance bieten, sich als vielseitiges Ensemble, das zugleich Farben entfalten, singen und virtuos spielen kann, zu prasentieren.

La comedie heroique Cyrano de Bergerac (1897) valut a son auteur une gloire immediate. Cyrano, heros tragique et attachant, est entre dans le patrimoine universel, sans doute parce qu'il incarne superbement un mythe bien ancien : celui de l'amour et du bonheur impossibles. Ce delicieux chef-d'œuvre theatral d'Edmond Rostand a inspire ce poeme symphonique de Piet Swerts qui s'articule autour d'une grande diversite musicale exprimant differentes scenes de la piece. Passages lyriques, episodes dramatiques et moments impressionnistes, Cyrano comprend de nombreux ingredients qui permettent au chef et a sa formation d'exploiter leur polyvalence a travers lacouleur, le chant et le jeu virtuose.

La commedia Cyrano de Bergerac (1897) valse al suo autore gloria immediata. Cyrano, eroe tragico e commovente, e entrato nel patrimonio universale senza dubbio perche incarna a meraviglia un mito molto antico: quello dell'amore e della felicita impossibili. Questo delizioso capolavoro teatrale di Edmond Rostand ha ispirato il poema sinfonico che si articola attorno ad una grande diversita musicale esprimendo diverse scene dell'opera teatrale. Passaggi lirici, episodi drammatici e momenti impressionanti, Cyrano comprende numerosi ingredienti che permettono al maestro di sfruttare la polivalenza attraverso il colore, il canto e il suono virtuoso.

View free introductory videos here: https://www.youtube.com/p laylist?list=PLI8XD78pv6C O0qiH0EhkouNkn_jgyIzVf   This important volume brings together the latest knowledge of voice science, voice pedagogy, conducting, and accompanying into a single volume. It is a valuable resource for choral conductors, no matter the age or experience of their ensembles. The Anatomy of Tone explores essential aspects of anatomy, physiology, and acoustics, and describes their impact on choral teaching and rehearsal. In addition, this book reviews groundbreaking scientific information on spacing of singers and its effect upon intonation and vocal health. This volume contains pedagogical information pertaining to: Breathing Resonance Formants in the Choral Rehearsal Structuring the Choral Warm-Up The Use of Breath as a Foundation of Expressive Choral Singing The Use of Legato as a Primary Tool in the Choral Rehearsal Choral Spacing for Balanced Resonance Teaching of Specific Vowels and Their Internal Architectures Use of Harmonically Based Warm-Ups Piano Accompanying to Support Good Vocalism and Building Listening Skills   Though knowledge of vocal anatomy/physiology and acoustical theories have existed for centuries, technology now enables singers to see their voices in action, to measure sound pressure levels in performance/rehearsal spaces, and to understand resonance frequencies within the human instrument in ways we never have before. Take advantage of this information! Put it into action to create choirs whose singers do not have to pay the price of over-singing. Enable singers to sing throughout their lifespans with joy and freedom, thereby producing the most exquisite music of which they—and you—are capable. —Kathy Kessler Price, from the Foreword GRAMMY-nominated conductor James Jordan is Professor and Senior Conductor at Westminster Choir College, where he conducts the Westminster Schola Cantorum and the internationally acclaimed Westminster Williamson Voices. Baritone Sean McCarther serves as Assistant Professor of Voice at Westminster Choir College, where he teaches studio voice and voice science. Soprano Kathy Kessler Price is Associate Professor of Voice at Westminster Choir College, where she teaches graduate voice pedagogy courses and applied voice, and directs the Westminster Presser Voice Laboratory.

“We are, inescapably, filled with Ruah, the Holy Spirit, from our first breath to our last. As Paul reminds the early church in Romans 8:9 ‘you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you.’ Paul is reminding us that we are filled with the Ruah of God and so should choose to live accordingly.”                                                                   – Ian Callanan (from the Introduction)   Drawing on the rich tradition of composer Ian Callanan’s musical background Ruah: Ma ss of the Breath of God is filled with Celtic themes and motifs. With the exception of the Our Father, the entire Mass is composed in the key of D, the key in which traditional Irish instruments are tuned, making the setting as accessible as possible. The recording models the sound of full Celtic instrumentation, though the setting is just as effective when simple accompaniment is used.    Ruah utilizes the Eucharistic Prayer for Children, yet the choice is by no means meant to be limiting. This is a setting composed with the entire assembly in mind, encouraging all to take a deep breath, then sing with the Ruah of God.

Il teatro d’opera, all’interno dell’intero patrimonio musicale del repertorio cólto, ma per dir meglio, all’interno del portato culturale che ha investito – tramite la sua nascita – dapprima l’Italia e poi l’Europa tutta, mantiene inalterato nel tempo un riconoscimento di grande valore.
In virtù di questo primato, un’attenzione particolare gli è conferita anche in questa sede, nella quale si è voluto condurre lo studente alla scoperta di tre importanti capolavori.
Diversamen te da quanto si sia portati a credere, l’opera non è unicamente repertorio per vecchi e canuti parrucconi, ma è spettacolo in grado di catturare anche un pubblico d’età scolare.
Attraverso le molteplici espressioni con le quali l’opera si manifesta (musica e parola su tutte, ma anche gesto e danza, insieme a gestione dello spazio scenico e della luce, elementi che definiscono tutti la complessa dimensione drammaturgica), il teatro d’opera si pone come spettacolo multimediale ante litteram capace come pochi di riassumere esemplarmente in un solo concetto rappresentazioni di pienezza e complessità culturale assai variegate.
Nel tratteggiare la ricchezza di un viaggio alla scoperta dell’opera, si potrebbe affermare che addentrarsi nelle narrazioni di un Figaro, di un Don Giovanni, di un Rigoletto sia un po’ come se da un solo assaggio si degustassero più sapori, come se si riuscisse a cogliere l’intero panorama solamente sbirciando da un foro. In questa operazione si possono identificare gli estremi di una visione ologrammatica della realtà, quella che ci consente di mettere in evidenza come una parte sia inscritta nel tutto, ma quanto il tutto stesso costituisca una parte. Questo apparente paradosso, che ci sembra possa essere rappresentato anche dal teatro musicale, è alla base di quell’atteggiament o che ci consente di evitare operazioni di riduzionismo e di semplificazione, e di aumentare invece i livelli di relazione e di complessità con le esperienze che ci accadono.

Il quaderno si rivolge ad allievi non digiuni dei primi rudimenti di alfabetizzazione sonora ed esplora – data la specificità della collana – soprattutto la dimensione musicale, anche se non tralascia di guidare all’indagine delle relazioni che la musica ha con gli altri linguaggi che costruiscono lo spettacolo.
Non è un caso, per di più, che ancora una volta e come costante metodologica che accompagna tutti i quaderni, ci si avvalga anche qui del segno, del gesto, della parola come strategie per la conoscenza dei mezzi espressivi e per l’esplorazione dei significati, tutti meccanismi necessari ad innescare un ascolto attivo.
La scelta di opere e autori si è imposta quasi naturalmente: Mozart, Rossini, Verdi sono ovunque riconoscibili come figure emblematiche del genere operistico. Nessuno potrebbe affermare di aver assaggiato la Sacher Torte senza essere stato a Vienna, così come nessuno potrebbe sostenere di aver assaporato l’opera senza aver avuto occasione di avvicinarsi a questi tre autori.
L’inten to del quaderno è dunque quello di fornire supporti all’allievo e all’insegnante per favorire scoperte, per far nascere curiosità.
Gli obiettivi del lavoro si perdono però a metà strada nel momento in cui non si ponga a conclusione del percorso la visione dell’opera.
Lâ €™auspicio e l’invito è dunque quello di uscire dalle aule e di recarsi, senza esitazioni, a teatro.
Il valore estetico e il potere seduttivo di un capolavoro sono in grado di disvelarsi talvolta senza che si operi nessun tipo di facilitazione (seppur la preparazione del campo, come questo testo vuole dimostrare, non sia certo operazione inutile); ma, quasi certamente, nessun magnetico incanto potrà fuoriuscire se ci si arresterà unicamente alle esperienze di queste pagine.
