Singing and Imagination: A Human Approach to a Great Musical Tradition

Beschreibung

Paperback, first edition second printing. 21.5 x 13.8cm. 205 pages. Music examples. Concerned specifically with the classical European tradition of solo singing and that imagination is an essential prerequisite of singing and not an optional extra. It is not intended as a manual of voice production and does not concern itself with medical matters. Hemsley believes that the 'how'? of singing is largely meaningless unless the 'why'? and the 'what'? are first clearly established. He states that we too easily forget that singing is not voice, but modification of voice - 'not only a language through which we understand the emotions of others, but also a means of exciting our sympathy with such emotions. Condition: V slight lift to front cover. Clean, very little wear, tight binding, good colour. VGC.
