Self-Accompanied Classical Singing, Gebunden

Klappentext

Self-Accompanied Classical Singing: Reviving a Lost Artexplores the phenomenon of classical singers accompanying themselves.

The book charts the journey of self-accompanied singing through the history of classical music from the 14th century on, and presents extensive research involving over 100 classical singers today. It generates discussion about the practice of self-accompaniment in both the past and the present; fosters self-accompaniment as a revived professional practice in the classical sphere; and explores implications for music education, from the conservatoire to the school and private studio.

Written for a broad audience*, Self-Accompanied Classical Singing* will appeal to professional singers, teachers and students from the school to the conservatoire; as well as researchers, teachers and students of performance studies, music history, music education, and the sociology and psychology of music.
