    THE MESSA DI VOCE AND ITS EFFECTIVENESS AS A TRAINING EXERCISE FOR THE YOUNG SINGER D. M. A. DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Diane M. Pulte, B.M., M.M. *** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Karen Peeler Approved by Dr. C. Patrick Woliver ______________ Adviser Dr. Michael Trudeau School of Music ABSTRACT The Messa di voce and Its Effectiveness as a Training Device for the Young Singer This document is a study of the traditional Messa di voce exercise (“placing of the voice”) and it’s effectiveness as a teaching tool for the young singer. Since the advent of Baroque music the Messa di voce has not only been used as a dynamic embellishment in performance practice, but also as a central vocal teaching exercise. It gained special prominence during the 19th and early 20th century as part of the so-called Bel Canto technique of singing. The exercise demonstrates a delicate balance between changing sub-glottic aerodynamic pressures and fundamental frequency, while consistently producing a voice of optimal singing quality. The Messa di voce consists of the controlled increase and subsequent decrease in intensity of tone sustained on a single pitch during one breath. An early definition of the Messa di voce can be found in Instruction Of Mr. Tenducci To His Scholars by Guisto Tenducci (1785): To sing a messa di voce: swelling the voice, begin pianissimo and increase gradually to forte, in the first part of the time: and so diminish gradually to the end of each note, if possible.

The program is designed to reflect the learner's point of yiew. The authors argue that education is not so mucha matter of objectives or subject content as it is a matter of what happens to the student. Accordingly, this guide discusses teaching methods and activities that reflect what happens to studentS when they use language. The guide begins by discussing assumptions and expectations of the program. It then describes activities that reflect stages of a language cycle beginning when we become aware that a speakeror writer has said something to us. These stages, the major divisions of the guide, are identified as (I)"the way others say things are," (2) "the way I say things are," (3)"the way I say things might be," (4) "the way I say things should be," and (5)"the way I say I am." The guide also includes a discussion of basic skills for the writing program and supplementary material (teaching suggestions for "Magic Moments," notes On improvisation, creative writing--newspaper) that may be used with the guide.

  • New Literary Humanism and the Trope of the Daimon in William Blake's Jerusalem T
    “EVERY THING IS HUMAN, MIGHTY! SUBLIME!”: NEW LITERARY HUMANISM AND THE TROPE OF THE DAIMON IN WILLIAM BLAKE’S JERUSALEM TODD DEARING, BA(Hons I) Presented to the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences of Flinders University for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY FLINDERS UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA 6 July 2020 Declaration I, Todd Dearing, certify that this thesis: 1. Does not incorporate without acknowledgment any material previously submitted for a degree or diploma in any university; and 2. To the best of my knowledge and belief, does not contain any material previously published or written by another person except where due reference is made in the text. ______TWD_______ __29 January 2020__ (signed) (date) To all for whom learning is a life-long quest. Abstract William Blake’s (1757-1827) poetic statement, “every thing is Human, mighty! sublime!” suggests an extraordinarily strange idea of the human (J34:48, E180). Yet it is upon such daimonic conceptions that Blake’s sublime allegory of poetic genius, Jerusalem: The Emanation of the Giant Albion (1804-c. 1820), rests. This thesis examines the trope of the daimon in Blake’s Jerusalem. I argue that the human, and humanity, in Blake’s mythos are ontologically daimonic, a dynamic mediator between polarities such as divine and mundane, infinite and finite, eternal and temporal, spirit and matter, subject and object, conscious and unconscious. However, in doing so, I do not read Blake’s daimon literally, but literarily and humanistically. Literarily, I read Blake’s daimon as a key trope for understanding Jerusalem as humanistic mythopoetry wherein literary language plays an important, transformative role.

    FOUR STORIES: A STUDY IN GENRE by Jeffrey L. Evans November, 2010 Chair: William Hallberg Major Department: English Genre is a label of classification imposed on literary works, usually as a means to understand how to market a project. The traditional form – “literary fiction” – is the most common, but a visit to any bookstore will demonstrate that there are so many more options. This collection contains my beginning studies in crafting genre literature: a “literary” piece that was a finalist in a competition, a monster based horror story, a supernatural horror story, and a science fiction tale of initial planetary exploration.
