Synopsis

Excerpt from A Quaker Singer''s Recollections

Singers must acquire a full repertoire of classic songs, oratorios and operas. These things should be learned first, learned rapidly and learned well; they are the stock in trade of the singer, but it is scarcely realized owing to the regrettable but quite frequent debasement of taste of the present time. Singers should learn Italian, French and German for the great music of those schools, and they must learn English for the magnificent music of our own tongue - and for very shame''s sake, - for not one singer out of ten today can be understood when singing English, except in musical comedy where, unfortunately, good singing is not a requisite, but where, owing to the lack of other operatic opportunities, the very best avail able talent could be chosen, and should be heard.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
