Autor Jason Nedecky
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 noi 2023
Singers, teachers, coaches, and conductors will appreciate French Lyric Diction: A Singer's Guide for its thorough account of the language as it is sung in opera and mélodie. Often-overlooked topics are explored, including phrasal and emphatic stress, vocalic length, singing the French r, and traditions in the setting of French poetry. Considerable attention is paid to the subject of liaison, with recommendations on how to make decisions about optional liaisons in singing. A comprehensive guide to orthography provides instruction on the pronunciation of all French spellings, including many optional secondary pronunciations, and accepted francisé pronunciation for loanwords. Pronunciation dictionaries give transcriptions for over 10,000 names of composers, poets, artists, roles, performers, characters, and places, as well as everyday musical terms.

Recenzii

Singing well in the French language customarily creates more concerns and problems than any other language encountered in a professional singer's life. There is no greater compliment to a French National than that we show our love and appreciation of this vast fund of music and our willingness to devote the time and understanding that Jason Nedecky shows for his subject. Highly recommended.
Professor Jason Nedecky's French Lyric Diction is not just another book about French diction; it is essential for English-speaking singers and vocal teachers to comprehend the subtleties of 'elevated' French language, details of style and phrasing. Including a list of proper nouns with their pronunciation, and many useful examples taken from French operas and mélodies, it presents with astonishing clarity and ease how singing French well is a great way to open wide the door on refined French culture and art. A must!
French Lyric Diction: A Singer's Guide is highly recommended.
This volume is a monumental contribution to the discipline. The author offers detailed, yet clear explanations of every aspect of French lyric diction, from syllabification to vocalic harmonization...Singers who fear French will find this volume an invaluable resource in allaying their trepidations, and those who have already fallen in love with the language and the literature will welcome the comprehensive, yet nuanced guidance provided by Nedecky.
