Book Description
A premier singer and master teacher here tells other singers how to get the most from 151 famous arias selected for their popularity or their greatness from 66 operas, ranging in time and style from Christopher Gluck to Carlisle Floyd, from Mozart to Menotti. “The most memorable thrills in an opera singer's life,” according to the author's Introduction, “may easily derive from the great arias in his or her repertoire.” This book continues the work Martial Singher has done, in performances, in concerts, and in master classes and lessons, by drawing attention “not only to precise features of text, notes, and markings but also to psychological motivations and emotional impulses, to laughter and tears, to technical skills, to strokes of genius, and even here and there to variations from the original works that have proved to be fortunate.” For each aria, the author gives the dramatic and musical context, advice about interpretation, and the lyric—with the original language (if it is not English) and an idiomatic American English translation, in parallel columns. The major operatic traditions—French, German, Italian, Russian, and American—are represented, as are the major voice types—soprano, mezzo-soprano, tenor, baritone, bass-baritone, and bass. The dramatic context is not a mere summary of the plot but is a penetrating and often witty personality sketch of an operatic character in the midst of a situation. The musical context is presented with the dramatic situation in a cleverly integrated way. Suggestions about interpretation, often illustrated with musical notation and phonetic symbols, are interspersed among the author's explication of the music and the action. An overview of Martial Singher’s approach—based on fifty years of experience on stage in a hundred roles and in class at four leading conservatories—is presented in his Introduction. As the reader approaches each opera discussed in this book, he or she experiences the feeling of participation in a rehearsal on stage under an urbane though demanding coach and director. The Interpretive Guide will be of value to professional singers as a source of reference or renewed inspiration and a memory refresher, to coaches for checking and broadening personal impressions, to young singers and students for learning, to teachers who have enjoyed less than a half century of experience, and to opera broadcast listeners and telecast viewers who want to understand what goes into the sounds and sights that delight them.

Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
Peace and Pain.Solace and suffering.Opposites attract like magnets. They went hand in hand; just like we did. The pain of the past encompassed my soul. It was on a path to destroy me--that was if I didn't do it myself first.I was drowning in the depths of my sorrow, trying to push through each day to get to the next. And then he turned up. There was a time when he was the only beam of light within the darkness.But he snatched that away when he left and forgot all about me. Only now he was back, and standing at the front of my World History class.Cade Easton was no longer the charming sixteen year old who never failed to put a smile on my face. Instead, he was my new teacher.They said there was nothing quite like your first love. That all consuming feeling--the infatuation.It should have mattered that I was his student, but it didn't. And neither did the eight year age gap.Age was just a number.Time which would pass us both by. Lines blurred.Rules were broken. And there was nothing that could stop us.Until my past resurfaced and threatened to demolish everything we'd built. With Cade by my side, I was sure I'd conquer everything. I just hoped he stayed there.A thousand steps separated us, but nothing could keep us apart.Or could it? Defy Fate is book one in the Fated Duet. A two-part, angst-filled, all-consuming, captivating story of forbidden love.
