| Abstract | The definitive work on the song recital, and the only work of its kind written by a singer/accompanist team, the book is a practical "how to" book of clear, methodical, and useful information on every facet of the recital art. Drawing on the authors' twenty-years' experience in the performance of song recitals, it presents imaginative advice and practical techniques for producing successful recitals and kindling audience excitement. A special feature of the book is its extensive treatment of program-building where the authors outline their own method for constructing an artistic, engaging recital program and present more than 40 sample programs designed for the advanced recitalist and the novice. Topics range from the history of the song recital to future directions in the recital art, and include extensive discussion of the young singer, ensemble music, the singing actor, New Music, research, and techniques for study and memorization. Also included are repertoire lists for voices with instruments; vocal duets, trios, and quartets; and song cycles. |
