Description

Exploring English Lyrics contains 790 unique art song selections with pronunciation as defined by the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and is an invaluable resource for both the native speaking singer and singers with no previous exposure to the English language.

These lyrics span nearly 500 years of art song history with texts set by more than 129 composers.

Diverse segments of British, American, African American, Canadian, Scottish, Irish, and Australian cultures are represented.

The scope of the lyrics selected includes works appropriate for beginners as well as those being performed by the world’s most prominent professional singers.

Texts of frequently performed songs from the Royal Conservatory of Music Development Program adjudications, new composers’ collected works, as well as lyrics from major anthologies such as Joan Boytim’s First Book series are included.

Detailed indications for selections that require a particular dialect or character voice pronunciation are provided.

Helpful indices enable the reader to search by composer, song cycle, first line, or song title.

References to settings of texts by multiple composers are indicated throughout the book. The book assists the teacher with repertoire selections while giving the student an accurate and elegant pronunciation that is ideal for intelligibility and optimal singing technique.

Knowledge of the phonetic system and detailed pronunciation of new and standard repertoire are readily accessible with this text.
