However, in contrast to the current societal expansion of diversity and inclusion movements, vocal range classifications within vocal music and its use in opera are arguably exclusive in nature.

  • Arnold Schering on “Who Sang the Soprano and Alto Parts in Bach's
    Arnold Schering on “Who sang the soprano and alto parts in Bach’s cantatas?” Translation by Thomas Braatz © 2009 [The following is a translation of pages 43 to 48 from Arnold Schering’s book, Johann Sebastian Bachs Leipziger Kirchenmusik, published in 1936 in Leipzig and presented in facsimile after the translation. To distinguish between Schering’s original footnotes and mine, his are highlighted in red while mine are left in black.] The paragraph leading into this passage describes Georg PhilippTelemann’s (1681- 1767) sacred music activities in the Neukirche (New Church) in Leipzig. These cantata performances were accomplished by Telemann with the help of university students only and without any assistance from the Thomaner1 choir(s) which were under Johann Kuhnau’s (1660-1722 - Bach’s immediate predecessor) direction. Jealous of the success that Telemann was having with his performances, Kuhnau commented that the young people there [Neukirche] had no real idea about what the proper style of singing in a church was all about and that their goal was “directed toward a so- called cantata-like manner of singing”. By this he evidently meant the elegant, modern way that male falsettists2 sang their solos [compared to the soprano and alto voices of young boys before their mutation]. What was Bach’s way of treating this matter in his sacred music? A cantor’s constant concern, as we have seen, is the ability to obtain and train good sopranos and basses. Kuhnau’s experience, that among his young scholars strong bass singers were a rarity,3 was an experience that his cantor predecessors in Leipzig had already had.

  • Beauty and the Beast
    BEAUTY AND THE BEAST CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS: BELLE (Stage Age: 18-30) Belle is the original fairy tale heroine–kind, gentle, and beautiful–but with an important 21st Century twist. She is a strong, intelligent, spirited and independent young woman. Belle is the moral conscience of the story, elevated by her thoughts and deeds. The maturity and depth of her character allow her to see the true beauty and spirit within The Beast, and to love him for it. This role requires a very strong singer who portrays innocence with her singing and speaking voice. MezzoSoprano: Low A-High F THE BEAST (Stage Age: 21-35) The Beast’s tortured soul is evident for all to see. He is paying the ultimate price for a moment of mean-spiritedness, and wishes beyond wishing that he could rectify his mistake. There is anger and menace in The Beast’s appearance and behavior, but increasingly we see his soft and endearing side as he interacts with Belle. It becomes clear that he is a loving, feeling, human being trapped within a hideous creature’s body. This role requires a very strong singer, and the actor must have a strong speaking voice and stage presence. Baritone: A–High F GASTON (Stage Age: 21-35) Gaston is the absolute antithesis of The Beast. Although he is physically handsome, he is shallow, completely self-centered, not very bright, and thrives on attention. However, when his ego is bruised he becomes a very dangerous foe for The Beast, Belle and Maurice. This role requires a strong singer and character actor who moves well.

  • Jan Börner, Countertenor Jan Börner Began His Musical Education Already at the Age of Nine When He Joined the Boys' Choir in His Home Town Solothurn
    Jan Börner, Countertenor Jan Börner began his musical education already at the age of nine when he joined the Boys' Choir in his home town Solothurn. When he was eleven, he performed for the first time as boy soprano. Jan Börner was a private student of Richard Levitt before completing his musical degree under Professor Ulrich Messthaler at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis and graduating with the diploma in Early Music. He was also taught by Andreas Scholl and Margreet Honig. As a soloist, Jan Börner focuses on music from the Renaissance and the Baroque period. He has performed with various vocal ensembles such as the Balthasar Neumann Chor, Vox Luminis and Le Concert Étranger. At the J.S. Bach foundation (Rudolf Lutz) he is a regular soloist. He also performs regularly at the Abendmusiken in the Predigerkirche Basel (Jörg-Andreas Bötticher) with music from the 17th century. He has been working closely with the ensemble Il Profondo for a few years. Together with this ensemble, several concerts have been realized, and a first record with early German cantatas and spiritual concerts of the 17th century was released in May 2015 at the label resonando under the name «absorta est...». It has received positive critics throughout the media and has been nominated for the Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik. Another CD called «Freundliches Glück, süsseste Liebe» – with Nuria Rial and Il Profondo – will be released in 2020. Up to now, his more extraordinary performances include the recording of Bach's St John Passion with the Ricercar Consort (Philippe Pierlot) and solo performances at the Festival d'Ambronay in 2015 and 2016 (Bach's St Matthew Passion, among others) with Le Concert Étranger (Itay Jedlin, Paris).

  • Free Online Vocal Remover from Song
    Free online vocal remover from song Continue By Jason Parnell Updated September 22, 2017 Removing vocals from the stereo song is simple, although the theory is complicated. The vocals are usually mixed with the center of the song, while the other elements are slightly panned left and right. Inverting one of the channels creates a phase cancellation that disables everything in the center. It's easier to think about it: the sound moves in waves with peaks and valleys, and when the valley meets the peak they cancel. You can easily achieve this without having advanced knowledge. Open Sony Soundforge and download the song you want to edit. Use a high-quality wave file to achieve the best results and because not all versions of Sony Sound Forge 9.0 support MP3 file editing. Double-click in the center of the wave to select the entire song. Also, click once on the wave shape and select Change, then select everything from the top menu. Select Process, then Channel Converter from the file menu. From the channel converter drop-off menu, select Stereo to Stereo Vocal Cut. From the Converter dialog screen, select a field marked Invert on the right channel. Process the audio file and delete the vocals by selecting OK from the channel's dialog converter screen. When the file is finished processing, review the track and check the results by clicking the Play button. The audio was removed by lifting from the center of the channel, where the vocals are usually mixed. Drums and bass also occupy the central channel, so you may notice the song sounds a little different.

  • Cross Gender Roles in Opera
    Boys Will Be Girls, Girls Will Be Boys: Cross Gender Roles in Opera University at Buffalo Music Library Exhibit October 1, 2003-January 9, 2004 An exhibit focusing on the high-voiced male castrato singers and on “pants roles,” in which women sing male roles. Created in conjunction with “Gender Week @ UB” 2003. Curated by Nara Newcomer CASE 1: Castrati : Introduction The opera stage is one place where gender roles have always been blurred, disguised, even switched – possibly multiple times within the course of an opera! Italian composers of seventeenth and eighteenth century opera seria (“serious opera” – as distinguished from comic opera) were especially free in this regard, largely connected with the high-voiced male castrati. Such traditions are not solely confined to that era, however. This exhibit will examine gender roles in opera, focusing on the castrati and upon operatic travesty, specifically upon breeches parts (“pants roles”). The photographs in the section of the exhibit on breeches parts come from the Music Library’s J. Warren Perry Collection of Memorabilia which includes over 2,000 photographs, largely operatic. Many of the photographs bear the singer’s autographs and are inscribed to Dr. Perry. A castrato is a type of high-voiced male singer, produced by castrating young boys with promising voices before they reached puberty. Castrati rose to prominence in the Italian opera seria of the 17th and 18th centuries. They were the prima donnas, even the rock stars, of their day. Somewhat ironically, however, the era of castrati both began and ended in the church. Castrati are known to have existed in Western Europe by the 1550’s and were present for centuries before in the Byzantine church.

  • Forgotten Splendour
    FORGOTTEN SPLENDOUR A Chronology of the North Shore Music Festival 1909 to 1939 by Andrew Cottonaro Beginning in 1909 and lasting until 1939, the North Shore Music Festival of Northwestern University was a significant musical and social event in the Chicago area. For a few days each Spring, the campus hosted a diverse body of performers in a series of grand concerts. Naturally, some of that era’s most eminent singers could be heard there. Their presence certainly helped to sell tickets and their artistry helped to sustain the festival as a popular and critical success. Now, sixty years later, the festival hardly even counts as a faded memory. To date, two books (in part), offer a general outline of the festival’s history, but both lack any detailed analysis of who appeared and what was actually sung. This is the first attempt to present a chronology of the vocal offerings (quite distinct from the orchestral offerings) at the festival. Northwestern University, the official sponsor of the festival, is located in Evanston, Illinois (USA). The town is a suburb of Chicago, directly north of the city and on the banks of Lake Michigan. Because of this geographic position, Evanston and the other cities of the area are called the North Shore, hence the origin of the festival’s name. Northwestern University was incorporated in 1850 and gradually won recognition for its academic excellence. The establishment of musical studies, however, was a tangled web of many failed efforts. In a final and desperate attempt to salvage musical education, the university’s board of trustees in 1891 appointed Peter Christian Lutkin (1858-1931) to direct musical studies, a post that he held until his death.
