A large body of published research exists regarding the physiology of breathing, the acoustics of singing, and solutions for specific vocal faults. There is similarly a growing body of research into the system of voice classification and repertoire assignment. This paper shall reexamine this research in light of baritenor voices. After establishing the general parameters of healthy vocal technique through appoggio, the various tenor, baritone, and bass Fächer will be studied to establish norms of vocal criteria such as range, timbre, tessitura, and registration for each Fach. The study of these Fächer includes examinations of the historical singers for whom the repertoire was created and how those roles are cast by opera companies in modern times. The specific examination of baritenors follows the same format by examining current and

They are meant, instead, to be an educational jumping-off point to understanding and enjoying the plays (in any production at any theatre) a bit more thoroughly.

  • Auditions and Also Concerning the Hilariously Funny and Incredibly Tuneful Show We Will Present This Summer
    Audition Notes for The Gilbert & Sullivan Society of Austin’s June 2012 production of Patience by Artistic Director Ralph MacPhail, Jr. INTRODUCTION: Patience is a high-spirited send-up of artistic affectation. Originally it poked fun at the pre- Raphaelite “brotherhood” in London of the 1870s and ‘80s, but Gilbert’s wit transcends the original target and Sullivan’s tunes have remained ever funny, martial, sentimental, poignant—whatever the moment in the plot demands. My purpose here is to provide information for auditionees concerning the auditions and also concerning the hilariously funny and incredibly tuneful show we will present this summer. If you’re planning to audition, please read this in its entirety. INFORMATION ON AUDITIONS: Auditions will be held on Saturday and Sunday, March 3rd and 4th. Music Director and Conductor Jeffrey Jones-Ragona and I request that each auditionee memorize a song from Gilbert & Sullivan or something similar that will show their voice and range to best advantage. It is also mandatory to provide a copy of the music for the auditions accompanist. No a cappella auditions will be heard. An accompanist will be provided, but singers will be welcome to bring their own if they wish. If Patience is not in your library, you can download the libretto from The Gilbert & Sullivan Archive (math.boisestate.edu/gas). You can also download some printed music from the opera from this website, read a plot synopsis, or download audio files. And there’s more, too! THE ROLES: Patience is filled with fun-to-act roles, incredible singing opportunities, and requires actors who can sing well as well as singers who can act well.
