  • Singing for Two: Experiencing Pregnancy As a Classical Singer
    Singing For Two: Experiencing Pregnancy as a Classical Singer by Catherine Marie Gardner A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Catherine Marie Gardner 2017 Singing for Two: The Experience of Pregnancy for the Classical Singer Catherine Gardner Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto 2017 Abstract The purpose of this study was to understand more fully the experience of pregnancy for the classical singer. Though research has uncovered the physical implications of pregnancy for the non-singer, aspects which can impact the classical singer, such as breath mechanics, hormonal fluctuations, and the many other physical changes brought on by pregnancy, have not been fully investigated. My first objective was to find out how the physical aspects of pregnancy impact singers as they continue to perform through these changes. My second objective was to discover what the emotional implications of pregnancy are for the classical singer. Did emotional changes instigated by pregnancy occur that influenced the singer’s performance anxiety, routine and sense of self as a performer? My final objective was to investigate the social implications of pregnancy for the classical singer. How are pregnant classical singers viewed and treated within the performance realm? Is there support for singers who become pregnant? What are the implications for career trajectory and timing? !ii This study uses mixed methods to enhance and expand the range of information gathered. In- depth interviews were conducted on two pregnant and one recently pregnant classical singers.

  • Catholic Choir School Models in the United States: Reinvigorating the Musico-Liturgical Life of the Church
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Catholic Choir School Models in the United States: Reinvigorating the Musico-Liturgical Life of the Church A TREATISE Submitted to the Faculty of the Benjamin T. Rome School of Music Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in Sacred Music © All Rights Reserved By Jennifer L. Seighman Washington, D.C. 2015 Catholic Choir School Models in the United States: Reinvigorating the Musico-Liturgical Life of the Church Jennifer L. Seighman, D.M.A. Director: Leo Nestor, D.M.A. Choir schools have been an intrinsic part of the Catholic Church since the fourth century. While the Holy See has instructed that such schools and training be diligently promoted, few programs exist, and even less is known about them. This paper provides much-needed research on Catholic choir school programs and the benefits they offer to the twenty-first-century Church, particularly in bringing the musico-liturgical goals of the Second Vatican Council to fruition. Using a multi-case-study approach, I investigate the only known Catholic institutions in the United States currently employing a traditional choir school education of rigorous daily instruction in choir and sung liturgy: St. Paul’s Choir School (Cambridge, MA), The Madeleine Choir School (Salt Lake City, UT), and The Atonement Academy (San Antonio, TX). To formulate the framework for this study, a survey of related literature was made encompassing musico-liturgical directives of the Second Vatican Council, Church documents calling for chorister formation, papal writings, scholarly sources addressing sacred music within the Catholic Church, and various sets of education standards.

Was it ethical to review things when you knew the author, the performer, the producer or received the items gratis? It set me thinking; consequently this set of reviews is a bit different from the usual: all but three of these records were bought by me and I have some connection with people involved with all but two of the above. On to the work at hand. Objectively I hope. Kurt Weill's Silverlake, a Winter's Tale has been recorded with the New York City Opera cast intact from the March 1980 production.

  • Mixed up and Upside Down
    Mixed Up and Upside Down Underdeveloped Registers in Men and Women Due to Vocal Trends in Popular Music: Turning Two Pedagogic Challenges into Opportunities in Today’s Voice Studio April Young INTRODUCTION In 1967, William Vennard labeled falsetto the unused register for men and chest the unused register for women, and at that time, it was true.1 Voice teachers, especially those with young or beginning students, can no longer have this expectation. Untrained singers often imitate two trends in con- temporary commercial music (CCM) that shape some of the challenges these students bring into the voice studio; one trend is now familiar and the other comparatively recent. Trend one is demonstrated by female singers, April Young who utilize primarily chest voice and carry this production higher than is generally acceptable in classical singing. They usually have not undergone training for high “belt,” and rarely use head voice, which is often weak and has limited range. Trend two is demonstrated by male singers, who frequently utilize falsetto and less often use chest voice, which is commonly lacking in strength, scope, and coordination. Definitions for registers have changed over time, as voice science and technology have progressed. For the purposes of this discussion, the follow- ing definition of physiological vocal registers will be used: “the muscular adjustment of the vocal folds; the relative participation of the thyroaryte- noid (TA . ) muscles and the cricothyroid (CT . ) muscles.”2 TAD for Thyroarytenoid Dominance will refer to chest, mode 1, or heavy mechanism; CTD for Cricothyroid Dominance will refer to head, mode 2, or light mecha- nism.
