Le Chant Intime
In this translation of the groundbreaking Le Chant Intime, internationally renowned baritone François Le Roux, in conversation with journalist Romain Raynaldy, presents a master class on French art song, with a thorough analysis of 60 selected songs that deviate from the traditionally narrow repertoire of the mélodie genre. Taking an approach that goes far beyond the typical limiting conventions, Le Roux and Raynaldy adhere to composer Francis Poulenc's principle that a song should always be a love affair, not an arranged marriage. Neither theoretical nor purely academic, this guide instills in its readers a deep appreciation for the historical and artistic context of each piece by enrichi...

French Lyric Diction
Singers, teachers, coaches, and conductors will appreciate French Lyric Diction: A Singer's Guide for its thorough account of the language as it is sung in opera and mélodie. Often-overlooked topics are explored, including phrasal and emphatic stress, vocalic length, singing the French r, and traditions in the setting of French poetry. Considerable attention is paid to the subject of liaison, with recommendations on how to make decisions about optional liaisons in singing. A comprehensive guide to orthography provides instruction on the pronunciation of all French spellings, including many optional secondary pronunciations, and accepted francisé pronunciation for loanwords. Pronunciation dictionaries give transcriptions for over 10,000 names of composers, poets, artists, roles, performers, characters, and places, as well as everyday musical terms.
Twenty First Century Horror Films
From the vengeful ghosts of J-horror to the walking dead in 28 Days and World War Z, from the creepiness of Spain's haunted houses to the graphic gore of the New French Extremism, horror is everywhere in the twenty-first century. This lively and illuminating book explores over 100 contemporary horror films, providing insightful and provocative readings of what they mean while including numerous quotes from their creators. Some of these films, including The Babadook, The Green Inferno, It Follows, The Neon Demon, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, The Witch, are so recent that this will be one of the first times they are discussed in book form. The book is divided into three main sections: 'nig...

»Wie ein Begehren«
Sprache und Musik begegnen einander im singenden Körper. Besonders eng verwoben sind sie in Kunstlied und mélodie um 1900: Dies bildet den Ausgangspunkt für eine Systematik von beispielhaften Stimmgebungen zwischen Sprechen und Singen, die einen Bogen von der Theaterdeklamation bis hin zur Vokalise spannen. Bartolo Musil zeigt, wie Komposition und Interpretation, Gesangstechnik und Hermeneutik, Sprachgestaltung und musikalische Phrasierung dabei in einen Dialog eintreten, und erzählt das schillernde und prekäre Miteinander von Wort und Ton in gesungener Kunstmusik neu - als Liebesgeschichte zwischen Hingabe, Verschmelzung, lustvoller Differenz, Abstoßung und Selbstbehauptung.
Reynaldo Hahn
Reynaldo Hahn (1874-1947) est longtemps demeuré attaché à la seule figure d’un musicien mondain, compositeur précoce fêté dès son enfance dans les salons parisiens. La postérité de ce spirituel et distingué Vénézuélien d’origine juive allemande, affectionné et admiré de Massenet et d’Alphonse Daudet, ne semblait pouvoir dépasser son affinité première avec la poésie de Verlaine, sa relation amoureuse avec Marcel Proust et sa fervente amitié pour Sarah Bernhardt. Incarnation immuable de la Belle Époque, il était rivé à quelques mélodies à succès et une opérette célèbre, Ciboulette, qui l’érigeait en nouvel André Messager. Aujourd’hui pourtant, la musiq...
