Synopsis

This book on classical singing by an experienced maestro is an essential guide for students, teachers, and singing professionals. Emphasizing the often-overlooked importance of tone color, the author illustrates through numerous examples from Handel's Messiah and Schubert's Die Schone Mullerin how artistic interpretation hinges on marrying the musical and poetic phrases. The author stresses the importance of choosing a teacher wisely, considering their reputation and demonstrated expertise in specific areas of vocal training. The book also addresses the five key areas of classical singing—voice production, voice placing, breath control, phrasing, and diction—and provides practical advice and insights on how to master each. The author's emphasis on the singer's intellectual and artistic development sets this book apart, and offers a wealth of knowledge that enhances the capabilities of anyone passionate about classical singing.
