Effective Instructional Strategies for Middle School Choral Teachers: Teaching Middle School Boys to Sing During Vocal Transition UNCP Graduate Lecture Recital Jonathan L. Thomas / Abstract Teaching vocal skills to male students whose voices are transitioning is an undertaking that many middle school choral teachers find challenging. Research suggests that one reason why challenges exist is because of teachers' limited knowledge about the transitioning male voice. The development of self-identity, peer pressure, and the understanding of social norms, which will be associated with psychological transitions for this study, is another factor that creates instructional challenges for choral teachers.

  • Les Talens Lyriques the Ensemble Les Talens Lyriques, Which Takes Its
    Les Talens Lyriques The ensemble Les Talens Lyriques, which takes its name from the subtitle of Jean-Philippe Rameau’s opera Les Fêtes d’Hébé (1739), was formed in 1991 by the harpsichordist and conductor Christophe Rousset. Championing a broad vocal and instrumental repertoire, ranging from early Baroque to the beginnings of Romanticism, the musicians of Les Talens Lyriques aim to throw light on the great masterpieces of musical history, while providing perspective by presenting rarer or little known works that are important as missing links in the European musical heritage. This musicological and editorial work, which contributes to its renown, is a priority for the ensemble. Les Talens Lyriques perform to date works by Monteverdi (L'Incoronazione di Poppea, Il Ritorno d’Ulisse in patria, L’Orfeo), Cavalli (La Didone, La Calisto), Landi (La Morte d'Orfeo), Handel (Scipione, Riccardo Primo, Rinaldo, Admeto, Giulio Cesare, Serse, Arianna in Creta, Tamerlano, Ariodante, Semele, Alcina), Lully (Persée, Roland, Bellérophon, Phaéton, Amadis, Armide, Alceste), Desmarest (Vénus et Adonis), Mondonville (Les Fêtes de Paphos), Cimarosa (Il Mercato di Malmantile, Il Matrimonio segreto), Traetta (Antigona, Ippolito ed Aricia), Jommelli (Armida abbandonata), Martin y Soler (La Capricciosa corretta, Il Tutore burlato), Mozart (Mitridate, Die Entführung aus dem Serail, Così fan tutte, Die Zauberflöte), Salieri (La Grotta di Trofonio, Les Danaïdes, Les Horaces, Tarare), Rameau (Zoroastre, Castor et Pollux, Les Indes galantes, Platée, Pygmalion), Gluck

  • "Siroe, Re Di Persia": a Fairy Tale from the Thousand and One Nights
    "Siroe, Re di Persia": a Fairy Tale from The Thousand and One Nights Colourful costumes, surreal video projections, atmospheric lighting. Is this up-to-date? Is it what we want to see on an opera stage? Aren´t we more used to a drab set and minimalist design, the story "explained" with real psychological insight, and full of Freudian symbolism? "Siroe", however, is a fairy tale, as well as being a story that moves us by telling us something real. First of all it wants to tell us about right and wrong, through the idealized story of a prince called Siroe, in which good triumphs over evil. Most certainly a fairy tale then, set in a lost and surreal Persian world, with fictional protagonists that have little to do with the historic characters of ancient Persia. For Europeans of past centuries Persia was a mysterious and faraway place, only known to them through such exotic rarities as translucent porcelain and exquisite miniatures, and mysteriously beautiful poems and stories. This is the world we have tried to recreate with "Siroe", using as our template those selfsame miniatures, full of colour and fantasy, and recreating the atmosphere of the palace of Susa through the use of double video projection. What is "Siroe" all about? The story´s spiritual and philosphical forebears are Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas, with whose ideas the librettist, Metastasio, himself a priest, was very familiar. Another important influence can be found in the philosophy of the Enlightenment, widely accepted during the course of the 18th century, which led to the growth in importance of such fraternal movements as Freemasonry and Rosicrucianism.

All is well. She and Ariodante are in love, her father approves; this is affirmed in a brief conversation with her lady-in-waiting, Dalinda (Alteouise deVaughn), after which who should appear but the Duke of Albany, Polinesso (David Salsbery Fry). His unwelcome advances will continue to be the major source of conflict throughout the drama. Ginevra will have none of it, as she aptly displays in her first da capo aria.

  • Tailor-Made: Does This Song Look Good on Me? the Voices That Inspired Vocal Music History
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: TAILOR-MADE: DOES THIS SONG LOOK GOOD ON ME? THE VOICES THAT INSPIRED VOCAL MUSIC HISTORY Theresa Rose Bickham, Doctor of Musical Arts in Vocal Performance, 2019 Dissertation directed by: Professor Carmen Balthrop, School of Music The history of tailor-made repertoire is celebrated, and, in many cases, the composer and the works live on in perpetuity while the performing artist is remembered only in historical documents. Timbres, agilities, ranges, and personalities of singers have long been a source of inspiration for composers. Even Mozart famously remarked that he wrote arias to fit singers like a well-tailored suit. This dissertation studies the vocal and dramatic profiles of ten sopranos and discovers how their respective talents compelled famed composers to create music that accommodated each singer’s unique abilities. The resulting repertoire advanced the standard of vocal music and encouraged new developments in the genres and styles of compositions for the voice. This is a performance dissertation and each singer is depicted through the presentation of repertoire originally created for and by them. The recital series consisted of one lecture recital and two full recitals performed at the University of Maryland, College Park. I was joined in the performance of these recitals by pianist Andrew Jonathan Welch, clarinetist Melissa Morales, and composer/pianist Dr. Elaine Ross. The series was presented chronologically, and the first recital included works of the Baroque and Classical music eras written for Marie Le Rochois, Faustina Bordoni, Catarina Cavalieri, and Adriana Ferrarese del Bene. The second recital advanced into the nineteenth-century with repertoire composed for Anna Milder-Hauptmann, Giulia Grisi, and Mary Garden.

    12 Opera con Brio, LLC June 2018 Opera con Brio Richard B. Beams Oreste: Power Corrupts Handel Festival Halle 2018 Handel’s 1734 pasticcio Oreste, the first of his three personified. The following year I witnessed a blackly so-called “pasticcio operas,” is a piece of relative rarity, comic, blood-splattered production by Covent Garden’s in spite of a plethora of first-rate music. Indeed after the Young Artists Program at historic Wilton’s Music Hall successful short run of three performances in 1734 at the that went overboard with its contemporary take and much newly-opened Theatre Royal, Covent Garden, it vanished gratuitous violence. By any measure, however, this 2018 from the stage for almost two-and-a-half centuries until it Halle revival was the most compelling, especially in light was performed again in 1988 in Bad Lauchstädt, near of the Festival’s central theme, “Foreign Worlds.” As Handel’s birthplace in Halle, as part of the 37th Handel such, the production zeroed in on the fear of the foreign Festival there. Now some thirty years later in 2018 it has that invites insular and protective – or in the extreme, returned to this illustrious Festival, compliments of the power-hungry – behavior, providing a powerful reflection Bach Consort Wien and the Youth Ensemble of Theater of today’s world. en der Wien.

A presentation on the finer points of Monteverdi’s or Handel’s art can rapidly narrow to an explanation of the castrato tradition, a justification 196 for substituting women or countertenors, and a general plea for the dramatic viability of baroque opera. As much as one tries to rationalize the historical practice, a treble Nero or Julius Caesar can still derail ap- preciation of the music drama.
