A Handbook of Diction for Singers is a complete guide to achieving
professional levels of diction in Italian, German, and French, the
major languages of the classical vocal repertory. Written for
English speaking singers, it is an ideal textbook for students of
diction and is also invaluable for voice teachers, vocal coaches,
and conductors. This unique book combines traditional approaches
proven successful in the teaching of diction with important new
material not readily available elsewhere. Employing the universally
accepted International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), it presents the
sounds of each language in logical order, along with essential
information on matters such as diacritical marks, syllabification,
word stress, and what to look for in dictionaries.
A Handbook of Diction for Singers offers thorough and consistent
explanations of Italian, German, and French pronunciation issues
that typically create the most difficulty for English speaking
singers. It goes into greater detail than comparable texts,
providing specific information and discussion of concepts
especially important to singers. For Italian, it presents extensive
coverage of the execution of phrasal diphthongs, as well as a
detailed guide to the occurrences of open and closed e and o. For
German, the question of when to use glottal attacks in singing is
thoroughly discussed, as is the execution of phrasal consonant
clusters. The French chapter gives many examples of the correct
approaches to mute e (schwa) and glides, and also concisely but
thoroughly presents liaison. Particular emphasis is placed on the
characteristics of vowel length in all three languages.
Illustrated with numerous examples and exercises, A Handbook of
Diction for Singers is an exceptional text for courses in diction
and a valuable reference source.
