    THE SUBSTANCE OF STYLE HOW SINGING CREATES SOUND IN LIEDER RECORDINGS, 1902-1939 A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Rebecca Mara Plack May 2008 © 2008 Rebecca Mara Plack THE SUBSTANCE OF STYLE HOW SINGING CREATES SOUND IN LIEDER RECORDINGS, 1902-1939 Rebecca Mara Plack, Ph. D. Cornell University 2008 In this dissertation, I examine the relationship between vocal technique and performance style through 165 audio clips of early Lieder recordings. I proceed from the starting point that many stylistic gestures are in fact grounded in a singer’s habitual vocalism. Vibrato, tempo and rubato are directly affected by a singer’s voice type and his physical condition, and portamento has long been a technical term as well as a stylistic one. If we consider these technical underpinnings of style, we are inevitably moved to ask: how do a singer’s vocal habits affect what we perceive to be his style? Does a singer’s habitual vocalism result in his being more likely to make certain style gestures, or even unable to make others? To address these questions, I begin by defining a vocabulary that draws on three sources: the language of vocal pedagogy, data derived from voice science, and evidence drawn from recordings themselves. In the process, I also consider how some Lieder singers distorted the word “technique,” using it to signify emotional detachment. Next, I examine the ways in which a recording represents the performer, addressing how singers are affected by both changing aesthetics and the aging process; both of these lead to a discussion of how consistently some performers make certain stylistic gestures throughout their recordings.

  • Looking Back at CHARM
    Annual newsletter Issue 5 (April 2009) We set up CHARM because we thought that musicology was skewed towards the study of Looking back scores, that there was enormous untapped potential in the last century's heritage of recordings, and that bringing recordings to the forefront of the at CHARM discipline could help to transform it—not least in terms of overcoming the mismatch between a discipline focussed on written documents and a public for whom music means performed sound. Although reception theory and history had a major influence on post-war musicology, the focus remained on the written document. And although the 'performative turn' that swept through cultural studies in the last decades of the twentieth century also had an effect on musicology, it perversely served only to reinforce the conception of music as a form of writing. The historically informed performance movement brought documentary and other period evidence to bear upon performance practice, in effect subordinating playing to writing. Analytical approaches to performance did much the same by mapping score-based analysis onto performances. While ethnomusicology and popular music studies were more successful in adopting a performative approach, we felt that in the area of Western 'art' music there was the potential for a major transformative intervention. That was where we hoped CHARM might make a critical contribution. Although we saw CHARM as in essence a vehicle The CHARM website is undergoing a major for the development of a performative approach to redevelopment. Our new site will be hosted by King’s musicology, we saw significant advantages in College London, and will bring together the on-line focussing it specifically on recordings.

The strongest impressions of the concert season are linked with Baldwintone, exquisitely exploited by pianists eminent in their art. Schnitzer, Pugno, Scharwenka, Bachaus De Pachmann! More than chance attracts the finely-gifted amateur to this keyboard. Among people who love good music, who have a culti- vated knowledge of it, and who seek the best medium for producing it, the Baldwin is chief.
