4.9/5 (28277 ratings)

Description:Embodying Voice: Singing Verdi, Singing Wagner articulates the process of developing an operatic voice, explaining how and why the training of such a voice is as complex and sophisticated as it is mysterious. Building on scholarship about embodiment and drawing from many other fields of influence, this book illustrates how putting together a voice, embodying a sound, and creating a character are vital to an audience's emotional involvement and enjoyment. Moreover, it addresses an imbalance of power between the director and the conductor--ultimately, it is the communicative power of the singer's voice that brings life to an opera, a fact well known by Verdi and Wagner. Embodying Voice highlights the singer's creative agency to be co-creator of the composer's music. It explores the ways in which vocal performance is constructed and controlled, connecting layers of mind and bodily engagement that allow operatic singers to achieve expression beyond the text itself. Tasks, discussion questions, and links to video examples are provided at the end of each chapter, complemented by dozens of musical examples throughout.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
