The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book.

The aim of this book should be easily deduced from its title. The author has endeavored to trace the development of the modern art of singing from the beginning of the Christian era to the time of Alessandro Scarlatti. He has treated of vocal forms only to the extent requisite to make clear the character of the technic and the style of each period. His main object has been to show what singers were expected to do and as far as possible how they prepared themselves for the delivery of the music placed before them. The interesting changes brought into vocal art by the advent of opera and later by the action of public taste on the new form of amusement are described and a general survey of early ideals of lyric interpretation and their modifications by the alterations in the demands of audiences is made. Special attention has been given to vocal technic and teaching in the last years of the sixteenth and all of the seventeenth centuries.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the rich and often overlooked history of singing, tracing its evolution from the early days of the Christian era to the time of Alessandro Scarlatti. The author explores the development of vocal techniques used in the delivery of liturgical chants, highlighting the influence of Jewish and Greek traditions on the early Christian musical forms. You'll learn how professional singers, trained in special schools, brought a new level of artistry to the chants, enriching them with ornaments and vocal embellishments. The book reveals that the art of singing was far more sophisticated than previously thought, with singers possessing a technical vocabulary that included trills, portamentos, diminutions, and even early forms of vibrato. The author delves into the significant role played by the Schola Cantorum in Rome, a prestigious institution dedicated to preserving and perfecting the delivery of liturgical music. You'll discover the methods employed in the school, the rigorous training of its students, and how the Schola Cantorum's influence spread throughout Europe. The book offers fascinating insights into the development of orid singing, the evolution of the chant, and the emergence of polyphonic composition. It sheds light on the cultural and religious forces that shaped the art of singing over centuries, providing a deeper understanding of how vocal techniques and styles evolved within the context of changing musical and social landscapes. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
