Singers, Scores and Sounds: Making New Connections and Transforming Voices - Ellen Hooper

Descriere Singers, Scores and Sounds: Making New Connections and Transforming Voices - Ellen Hooper

\nThis book develops ways of discussing musical practices to articulate a new approach to understanding connections between recordings, singers, and singing. \n \nCentred around materials from the mid-twentieth century, this book focuses on a time when composers and performers were questioning the idea of authorship within their musical practice. Materials drawn upon include recordings, scores, archival content, visual art, interviews, and liner notes to develop a rich conception of practices of performance. Analysis of performances include recordings of singers such as Cathy Berberian, Linda Hirst, Loré Lixenberg, Angelika Luz, and Meredith Monk. Compositions by Cathy Berberian, Luciano Berio, John Cage, and Manuel De Falla are considered. The book utilizes these sources to examine the collective way in which singers and composers form practices as multiple, transforming, emergent, and not hierarchical. The book articulates - with a detailed, close consideration of specific instances in recordings and scores - a relational understanding of performance.\n \nThis book will be useful reading for students and scholars of music analysis, musicology, performance practice, and twentieth century vocal music.\n
