The Marvels of the Human Voice: Poem-Melody-Vocal Performance
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper examines and compares vocal performances. It also follows the path of poem to melody to singing, and their interrelations. Results are demonstrated in examples in which comparison is made between performances of the same melody by two or more artists in: “Au Cimetière” by Berlioz, “Der Tod und das Mädchen” by Schubert, the Aria “In Questa Reggia” (Turandot) by Puccini, and the ariette “Ah quel dîner” (La Périchole) by Offenbach.
