Synopsis
The Singing Voice celebrates the splendor of the voice raised in song, a musical instrument beyond compare. The singing voice embraces and projects the full range of human emotion. It can soothe or arouse; it can be sexy, sad, joyful, patriotic, exulting. Today, more than ever, fans have swept the singing voice to new heights of popularity. Robert Rushmore, the most passionate fan of all, has written this book for everyone who loves good singing. He explores every major aspect of the singing voice - its history, physiology, capabilities, and the extraordinary careers that have been based on what James Joyce called "two tiny, silken cords more wonderful than any other". Rushmore also takes up the hotly disputed topics of breathing technique, proper teaching methods, and registers, presenting arguments made by coaches, teachers, and singers over the centuries to present day.
