Jessica Kingsley Publishers Breath in Action: The Art of Breath in Vocal and
Book SynopsisBreath in Action looks at the significance of breath to human life - not just the simple fact that if we stop breathing, we die, but also the more subtle ways in which our breath interacts with our voice and our being. Written by experts in vocal and holistic practice, the book is divided into four sections: Breath and the Body; Breath and the Mind; Breath and Holistic Practice; Breath and Performance. It offers the latest theories from a variety of disciplines on how we can be taught to breathe better so as to communicate better, act or sing better, feel better, live better. Combining theory with practice, many of the chapters also offer clearly laid out breathing exercises and techniques.Interdisciplinary in its focus, Breath in Action adds to specialist knowledge in the performance field, whilst also offering enlightening information for those interested in therapeutic and healing processes, movement, and voice and speech sciences.Trade ReviewThe mystery of breath continues to intrigue us. We still do not know all the answers but as Judylee Vivier says, there is nothing really new: "The basic principles are definitive but there are many doors through which we can enter the same room". On this basis, this is an intersting addition to any practitioner's bookshelf. -- Voice MattersThis is an inexpensive and fascinating book for those interested in finding out more about what influences the theatre voice practitioner. -- Speech & Language Tharepy in PracticeBreath in Action offers a rich tapestry of approaches to effective breathing that occasionally contrast, but mostly complement each other... The writers of Breath in Action are literally and figuratively filled with inspiration. May their wise words enlighten theatre artists for years to come. -- American TheatreTable of ContentsContributors' Biographies. Acknowledgements. Dedication. Foreword.

Faber Music Ltd The Language Of Song Intermediate Low Voice
Book SynopsisA graded series of songbooks that provide classic song repertoire, selected to develop the vital skills required to sing in a foreign language. It is suitable for those taking graded singing exams, and for singers of any age exploring international song repertoire up to university and college level.Trade ReviewThis excellent anthology series is a good source for reference, study, and performance. Journal of Singing (National Association of Teachers of Singing), May 2010 These books offer a very valuable learning experience; they are very carefully thought out, and offer the best introduction to singing in other languages that I have come across. If I mention the fact that nearly all the pieces are to be found in the examination syllabi of the ABRSM and the Trinity Guildhall, do not be tempted to look at them simply as exam material. This very practical consideration means that the books may well be bought with a specific exam piece in mind, but they will then be used and studied by both teachers and students long after.

Book SynopsisA graded series of songbook that provide classic song repertoire, carefully selected to develop the vital skills required to sing in a foreign language.Trade ReviewThis excellent anthology series is a good source for reference, study, and performance. Journal of Singing (National Association of Teachers of Singing), May 2010 The advanced editions…of this excellent series provides a wealth of classic repertoire, selected and presented to develop the skills needed to sing in a foreign language, and will doubtless prove a prime resource for teacher and students…..The reason these books take the Book of the Month slot is that the precision in every aspect of this book – the most valuable publications for the serious singer for some time – simply ooze with care and attention. The purpose is functional – aimed squarely at the highest level of education, but the pages carry a lot of the emotion of the editors, as well as that of the composers. Put simply: quite superb editions. Mi Pro Magazine, December 2008 The books are such a tremendous achievement, and such a valuable addition to the singing teacher's armoury… Singing Magazine (Association of Teachers of Singing), Winter 2008Table of ContentsPur dicesti, o bocca bella (Lotti); O del mio dolce ardor bramato oggetto (Gluck); La conocchia (Donizetti);Per pietà, bell’ idol mio (Bellini); La pastorella delle Alpi (Rossini); Mattinata (Leoncavallo); Widmung (Schumann); Du bist die Ruh (Schubert); Verborgenheit (Wolf); Unglückliche Liebe (Mozart); Du bist wie eine Blume (Schumann); Wir wandelten (Brahms); Die Nacht (Strauss); Après un rêve (Fauré); Notre amour (Fauré); Les roses d’Ispahan (Fauré); Les filles de Cadix (Viardot); Villanelle (Berlioz); Chanson triste (Duparc); Mandoline (Debussy); Le colibri (Chausson); C (Poulenc); None But The Lonely Heart (Tchaikovsky); Believe It Not, My Friend (Tchaikovsky); The Stars Looked Tenderly Upon Us (Tchaikovsky); Spring Waters (Rachmaninov)

Faber Music Ltd Language of Folk 2 Intermediate to Advanced
Book SynopsisThe Language of Folk: Grades 5 to 8 offers a wealth of folk repertoire from around the British Isles and further afield, carefully selected and arranged to develop the key skills and vocal styles integral to folk song. Produced in association with The Sage Gateshead and its nationally renowned folk music programme.Trade ReviewIt is good that the introduction and notes recognise some inherent difficulties in notating folk songs, unaccompanied singing, ornamentation, embellishment of the vocal line and the importance of speech rhythms and respect for dialect words in making credible performances. The book tweaks the terms most frequently used in classical music for ornaments, using ‘flick’ for ‘mordent’ and ‘roll’ for ‘turn’ for example and this is refreshing. English Dance & Song Magazine, Autumn 2013 For those like me who come from a very ‘classical’ background, these books are an excellent eye-opener in to the vibrant world of the folk-singer. …..thanks are due to Kathryn Davidson and the Sage for devising the learning programme that has given rise to such inspiring and enlightening books. In my opinion they should definitely be in the library of every singing teacher. And not just to provide new repertoire for the ABRSM folk-song requirements!

No serious collection of vocal pedagogy and voice science books can afford to be without this significant contribution. * Journal of Singing *A study of Battaille's contributions to French vocal science and vocal teaching in the last half of the 19th century...Includes musical examples and drawings of his dissections, which were included in his original volumes. * Reference and Research Book News *

Scarecrow Press Canciones De Espana Low Voice v 3 Songs of
Book SynopsisWith the completion of Volume 3 of Canciones de España: Songs of Nineteenth-Century Spain, 83 songs by 50 19th-century Spanish composers are now available for performance and study, in both high and low voice editions. This final volume presents 31 newly published canciones by 18 composers such as José León, Antonio Mercé Fondevila, Lázaro Núñez Robres, Antonio Reparaz, Gabriel Rodríguez, and Joaquín Valverde. These songs represent the gems of the repertoire, providing examples of song types typical of the period, including the canción andaluza, the canción española, the balada Árabe, the bolero, the habanera, the canzoneta, and the seguidilla. A number of songs included had previously been available only in manuscript form and long forgotten in the depths of the world''s greatest libraries. Here, they are made available and accessible through discussions of 19th-century politics and Spanish song style, a thorough pronunciation guide to Castilian Spanish, both word-for-word and idiomatic translations, and International Phonetic Alphabet transcriptions. Short biographies of each composer add insight to the compositions. Rounding out the anthology, this final volume includes appendixes that list all 83 songs by level of difficulty and by gender. This anthology allows singers and voice teachers to explore the poetry, culture, and history of Spain through its songs, demonstrating that the songs deserve their rightful place in the classical song repertoire of Europe and the Americas.Trade ReviewThis volume clearly sets out, with success, to provide a new standard for its repertoire. * The Singer, Review of Vol. 1 *More than two-dozen canciones for the low voice are presented in this anthology of works by 19th-century Castilian Spanish composers. Each score is accompanied by a word-for-word and an idiomatic translation as well as an IPA transcription of the text. Editor Draayer (voice, Winona State U.) also provides a pronunciation guide and an overview of the primary song types of the period in the introduction. * Reference and Research Book News, May 2007 *...this is a splendid edition of much needed new material in the genre of Spanish song and one that should be valuable indeed to teachers and students alike. * Journal of Singing, Review of Vol. 1 *a volume well worth investigating for lovely songs that will be new to the study and performance repertoire of all singers.
