    SINGING IN ENGLISH IN THE 21ST CENTURY: A STUDY COMPARING AND APPLYING THE TENETS OF MADELEINE MARSHALL AND KATHRYN LABOUFF Helen Dewey Reikofski Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2015 APPROVED:….……………….. Jeffrey Snider, Major Professor Stephen Dubberly, Committee Member Benjamin Brand, Committee Member Stephen Austin, Committee Member and Chair of the Department of Vocal Studies … James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music Costas Tsatsoulis, Interim Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Reikofski, Helen Dewey. Singing in English in the 21st Century: A Study Comparing and Applying the Tenets of Madeleine Marshall and Kathryn LaBouff. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2015, 171 pp., 6 tables, 21 figures, bibliography, 141 titles. The English diction texts by Madeleine Marshall and Kathryn LaBouff are two of the most acclaimed manuals on singing in this language. Differences in style between the two have separated proponents to be primarily devoted to one or the other. An in- depth study, comparing the precepts of both authors, and applying their principles, has resulted in an understanding of their common ground, as well as the need for the more comprehensive information, included by LaBouff, on singing in the dialect of American Standard, and changes in current Received Pronunciation, for British works, and Mid- Atlantic dialect, for English language works not specifically North American or British. Chapter 1 introduces Marshall and The Singer’s Manual of English Diction, and LaBouff and Singing and Communicating in English. An overview of selected works from Opera America’s resources exemplifies the need for three dialects in standardized English training.
  • Analysis of My Kurtág Cycle

    Analysis of My Kurtág Cycle

    Claus-Steffen Mahnkopf Analysis of my Kurtág Cycle I. Introduction In accordance with the three temporal modes, one can divide artists into three types. The first lives in remembrance of what has been and what has passed, usually mourning what has been lost; the second lives in expectation of a pos- sible, “better” future, seeking to anticipate or help prepare for it through his work; the third lives in the here and now and cannot really understand the other two. I must admit that I do not belong to any one type alone; I am in two, per- haps even three minds as an artist. In contrast to the title of a late work—La lontananza nostalgica utopica futura—by Luigi Nono, however, whom I greatly revere, I abandoned the endeavor to reach a “synthesis” of these three atti- tudes in my work some time ago. Up until Angel Novus, the music theater work I composed at the Dantesque midpoint in my life, i.e., in my mid-30s, I had felt it necessary to do justice to all facets of my artistic existence—albeit in highly individualized ways—in every composition. I was interested in a consistent style referred to—hastily, and partly provoked by my own statements—as “complex- ist,” though I had always viewed my complexist style as one element of what, following on from Beethoven, whom I consider the greatest composer of all, could be termed multi-perspectivity: the ability to compose a Fifth Symphony and a Sixth Symphony in tandem. After Angelus Novus, I reached a fork in my path.

  • Indus Musicians in Mesopotamia

    Indus Musicians in Mesopotamia

    1 Indus Musicians in Mesopotamia 2 Bull Lyre of Indus Valley and 90 words that Harappans 3 May Have Spoken 4 5 Shail Vyas 6 Homi Bhabha Fellow, Mumbai 7 8 [email protected] 9 10 11 12 13 Abstract 14 15 Human is a musical creature. It is seen ubiquitously through times and spaces 16 that a certain percentage of human population is always musically inclined 17 irrespective of their profession. Music is also an integral part of many social 18 activities humans generally observe like religious practices, marriages, deaths 19 and what more. Due to the possible presence of Harappan population in 20 Mesopotamia, it may be surmised that a number of Harappan musicians and 21 some of their musical instruments could also have reached there. In this 22 investigation, crucial help could also come from the fact that many a times, 23 names of musical instruments travel with them. 24 25 26 On account of a very likely possibility of such an occurrence, a study of 27 archaeological and Sumerian textual records in Mesopotamia was strongly 28 suggestive of a significant presence of Harappan musicians and musical 29 instruments in Mesopotamia. In fact, study of Sumerian text has shown that 30 about 30 musical terminologies out of a total of nearly 60, in the categories such 31 as names of instruments, singers, names of songs and even musical notations, 32 etc. in Sumerian (PSD) are found to be phonetically and semantically very similar 33 to ancient Indian terms with some “Sumerianization”. The study also 34 demonstrated certain patterns in the way words were sumerianized.
