A argumentação demonstra que a canção brasileira pode ser, para os falantes de português brasileiro como língua materna, o veículo mais apropriado para o ensino de procedimentos técnicos vocais, seja para alunos de nível básico, intermediário ou avançado. A pesquisa fundamenta-se em bibliografia específica da área de fisiologia da voz e pedagogia vocal, bem como em textos relacionados a processos cognitivos e diferentes modelos de emissão vocal. Um conjunto de 40 canções brasileiras de diversas épocas e autores é coligido com o objetivo de demonstrar seu potencial pedagógico, sendo este organizado por critério de crescente dificuldade técnica, visando contemplar todas as fases de desenvolvimento técnico do cantor. Os textos das canções recebem traduções formais e literais para o inglês, para facilitar o acesso a estas canções por cantores falantes de outros idiomas. As partituras das canções são acrescentadas de transcrições fonéticas, que têm o intuito de demonstrar possíveis caminhos de organização fonética e de pronúncia dos textos, baseados na experiência artística e pedagógica do autor. Informações complementares e indicações interpretativas acompanham cada canção. / This study aims to defend the use of Brazilian song as material for the teaching of singing in Brazil, seeking to eliminate biases associated with this repertoire which is sometimes considered inappropriate by singing teachers to teach the vocal technique. The argument shows that Brazilian song can be, for native speakers of Brazilian Portuguese, the most appropriate vehicle for the teaching of vocal technical procedures for students at basic, intermediate or advanced levells. The study is based on bibliographic research in the area of vocal physiology and the pedagogy of singing, as well as in texts related to cognitive processes and different models of vocal production. A total of 40 Brazilian songs from various eras and authors is selected in order to demonstrate their pedagogical potential, organized by gradual increasing of technical difficulty, and aiming to address all phases of technical development of the singer. The texts of the songs receive formal and literal translations into English, to facilitate access to these songs by singers who speak other languages. The scores of the songs are include phonetic transcriptions, which demonstrate possible ways of organization and phonetic pronunciation of the texts, based on the artistic and pedagogical experience of the author. Additional information and interpretive guidelines accompany each song.

abstract: In an interview with the author, composer Chen Yi shared thoughts regarding her inspiration to compose the piece As in a Dream. She composed the first version in 1988 for soprano, violin, and cello. Left unpublished, this work was re-done in 1994 with the Chinese instruments zheng and pipa in place of the violin and cello. As in a Dream is a setting of two linked poems of six lines each by Qingzhao Li, one of the earliest female poets in China. Chen Yi kept the voice part the same in the two versions, but adapted the accompaniment to suit the Chinese instruments. This study of As in a Dream focuses on the 1994 version, and especially on the first song, with a view to introducing the singer to its Chinese elements. To help performers to understand better the text of the set, a translation and transliteration of the two poems by Qingzhao Li are offered with line-by-line interpretation. An introduction to the history and characteristics of the zheng and the pipa is supported by examples of the uses of these instruments in the songs. Drawing upon information provided by Chen Yi in the interview with the author, a discussion follows of Mandarin speech tones and their effect on the melodic design of As in a Dream, with music examples. An examination of traditional Beijing Opera styles of singing, with insights provided by Rao Lan, the soprano for whom the work was written, leads to a description of the fusion vocal technique required for performance of As in a Dream and some of the rules for diction in Mandarin Chinese. Intended as an introductory guide for the soprano contemplating performance of Chen Yi’s As in a Dream, this study also reveals the combination of Eastern and Western musical characteristics in these songs and gives examples of how the music interprets the veiled meaning of the poetry. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Music 2015

Resumo: O foco principal deste trabalho é a análise comparativa do desempenho qualitativo da pronúncia de vinte cantores argentinos, por meio do uso da Tabela Fonética apresentada no artigo "PB cantado - normas para a pronúncia do português brasileiro no canto erudito", (KAYAMA et al. 2007), com e sem o auxílio de uma pista áudio visual em DVD, como um elemento de ensino e padronização da pronúncia e dicção do português brasileiro cantado para cantores argentinos. Foi realizada uma análise comparativa qualitativa de vinte gravações da canção "Cantar", do ciclo Seis Poemas de Helena Kolody para canto e piano, do compositor Henrique de Curitiba. Método: Os vinte cantores argentinos natos, distribuídos aleatoriamente em dois grupos, Fênix e Pégasus, receberam basicamente o mesmo material diferindo apenas quanto ao DVD entregue ao primeiro grupo, gravado em áudio e vídeo com os sons da Tabela Fonética do Português Brasileiro Cantado, realizada pelo autor deste estudo. Os cantores foram gravados em áudio e vídeo, cantando a canção em questão e esta gravação serviu como referência a seis avaliadores, doutores em suas áreas de atuação (canto, fonoaudiologia e linguística), na realização de uma análise qualitativa da dicção dos cantores argentinos, atribuindo escores à dicção das palavras cantadas pelos cantores deste estudo. Os resultados da avaliação demonstraram que os cantores do grupo Fênix (os quais receberam a pista áudio visual) tiveram uma pronúncia mais próxima do PB atingindo um escore de 77,8% neste aspecto, contra 22,2% do grupo Pégasus (cantores que não receberam a pista áudio visual). 85% dos cantores consideraram a tabela fonética do PB apenas impressa uma ferramenta insuficiente à compreensão dos sons do PB cantado e 15% consideraram a tabela suficiente. 78,6% dos cantores avaliados com a pronúncia mais próxima do ...

Method: The twenty Argentine singers, randomly divided into two groups, Fênix and Pegasus, received basically the same material, the only difference being a DVD given to the first group, with the recording (both audio and video) of the Phonetic Chart of Brazilian Portuguese as Sung, recorded by the author of this study. The singers were videotaped singing the song in question. This tape served as a reference for the six evaluators, doctors in their areas (singing, speech therapy, linguistics), to make a qualitative analysis of the singers' diction, attributing scores for diction of the words of the song as sung by the singers who participated in this study. The results of the evaluation showed that the singers of Fênix group (which received the audiovisual track) had pronunciation more in keeping with PB (Brazilian Portuguese), reaching a 77,8% value at this point. The Pégasus group achieved a 22,2% score (singers that did not receive an audiovisual track). 85% of the singers considered that a printed version of the PB Phonetic Chart was not enough as a tool to understand the sounds of Brazilian Portuguese as Sung, and 15% considered the opposite. 78.6% of the singers evaluated with the closest pronunciation of Brazilian Portuguese were from the Fênix group. Thus, the use of audiovisual resources of the Phonetic Chart of the Brazilian Portuguese as Sung was considered essential to correct ...

Para tanto, um grupo de atores e atrizes foi submetido a um treinamento vocal do método por um período de três meses. A metodologia do trabalho, de caráter qualitativo, estruturou-se por meio de análise de conteúdo sobre entrevistas semi-estruturadas realizadas com a amostra após o treinamento, e observação auditiva sobre as gravações das aulas realizadas. Os parâmetros analisados foram consciência vocal e apropriação técnica. Ambos foram elaborados no decorrer desta pesquisa, e subdivididos em quatro níveis cada. Todos os participantes foram classificados quanto aos parâmetros observados. Os resultados encontrados apontam que, mesmo com um cronograma de treinamento reduzido, todos os participantes obtiveram resultados positivos e satisfatórios após o período de treinamento. Podemos concluir que todos os artistas ampliaram a suas percepções sensoriais e corporais quanto ao uso da voz, percebendo melhor seus instrumentos, e como melhor utilizá-los. O treinamento trouxe uma abertura ao espectro de autoconhecimento desses artistas ampliando seus repertórios pessoais, podendo, a partir de então, reverberar em suas criações artísticas. / The purpose of the present study is to verify how the training of the mixed voice would favor the vocal work of the participants. For that, a group of actors and actresses underwent a vocal trainin g of the method for a period of three months. The qualitative methodology of the work was structured by content analysis on semi - structured interviews conducted with the sample after the training, and auditory observation on the recordings of the classes performed. The parameters analyzed were v ocal awareness and technical appropriation. Both were elaborated in the course of this research, and subdivided into four levels each. All participants were classified according to the observed parameters. The resul ts show that, even with a reduced training schedule, all the participants obtained positive and satisfactory results after the training period . We can conclude that all artists have broadened their sensory and bodily perceptions regarding the use of voice, better perceiving their instruments, and how they can use them better. The training brought an opening to the spectrum of self - knowledge of these artists expanding their personal repertoires, and from then on, reverberate in their artistic creations.

L'interprétation vocale, parce qu'elle est le point nodal de l'articulation complexe entre le texte et la musique, fournit les coordonnées de la dramaturgie opératique. C'est en effet par le chant que la rencontre hybride entre ces deux médias se coule en une seule et même action, autonome et indécomposable. L'opéra transcende ainsi le hiatus de la juxtaposition de deux contenus protéiformes, aux synergies limitées et aux nombreux antagonismes, en un contenu sémiotique homogène, que l'on goûte par le truchement de la représentation. Il s'agit véritablement du passage d'une matière bipolarisée à une énergie dont l'immatérialité réconciliatrice s'inscrit dans l'espace de la scène. Cette union transcendante fait "souffrir" l'oeuvre source, par l'impact de la technique vocale, du langage musical et des contingences liées à la scène lyrique, de la même manière que la musique se plie, dans une certaine mesure, aux impératifs de la tragédie. Cette recherche vise à soulever des interrogations sur le sens et les enjeux de la tragédie lyrique et de la tragédie shakespearienne, sur ce que fait émerger l'agglomérat du texte, transformé par les exigences musicales, et de la musique, dédiées à ce texte. Elle entreprend aussi d'éclairer certaines fonctions du langage et des formes musicales qui, même si elles ne sont pas fixes et universelles, deviennent opérantes dans le cas singulier des oeuvres traitées, ainsi que certaines données latentes des tragédies de Shakespeare qui ouvriraient de nouveaux canaux à l'effusion des passions humaines. Cela pose la question de ce que la relation des contenus hétéroclites de la tragédie lyrique libère, modifie et étouffe dans le drame source. / Vocal rendition, the nexus of the complex articulation of text and music, gives the coordinates of operatic dramaturgy. It is, in fact, through singing that this hybrid conjunction between these two media appears as one and the same autonomous unitary action. Thus, opera transcends the hiatus of the juxtaposition of two protean contents, with limited synergies and numerous antagonisms, in a homogeneous semiotic content that can be appreciated in its representation. It effects the passage from a bipolarized matter to an immaterial conciliatory energy that is made to be performed. This transcendent combination makes the source work of art suffer, as a result of vocal technique, the musical language and the contingencies of the operatic performance, in the same way that the music submits to the requirements of tragedy. This research work aims at bringing up questions about the sense and the issues at stake in the operatic tragedy as well in the Shakespearean tragedy, about what stands out from the entirety of text altered by the musical requirements and the music given over to it. It also undertakes to shed light on certain functions of the language and the music forms which, even if they are not fixed or universal, become effective in the singular case of the works that are examined; and also on some latent data of Shakespeare’s tragedies which would open new floodgates to the outpouring of human passions. This poses the question of what the connection between the heterogeneous contents of the operatic tragedy, releases, modifies and stifles in the source drama. / L'interpretazione vocale, il nodo della complessa articolazione tra testo e musica, dà le coordinate della drammaturgia operistica. È, infatti, attraverso il canto che la confluenza ibrida tra questi due mezzi di comunicazione si fonde in una stessa azione, autonoma e unitaria. L'opera trascende così lo iato della giustapposizione di due contenuti proteiformi, con limitate sinergie e antagonismi numerosi, per arrivare a un contenuto semiotico omogeneo, che gustiamo tramite la rappresentazione teatrale. Si effettua veramente il passaggio da una materia bipolarizzata ad un'energia la cui immaterialità riconciliante si inserisce nello spazio scenico. Questa combinazione trascendente fa « soffrire » le fonti, a causa dell’impatto della tecnica vocale, del linguaggio musicale e delle contingenze afferenti alla lirica, nello stesso modo in cui la musica si piega, entro certi limiti, ai dettami della tragedia. Questa ricerca mira a porre delle domande sul significato e sulle sfide della tragedia lirica e della tragedia di Shakespeare, su ciò che fa emergere l’agglomerato del testo, trasformato dalle esigenze musicali, e della musica consacrata a questo testo. Si impegna inoltre a illuminare alcune funzioni del linguaggio e delle forme musicali che, anche se non sono fisse e universali, diventano operative nel caso singolare delle opere esaminate, così come certi dati latenti delle tragedie di Shakespeare, che aprirebbero nuovi canali all’effusione delle passioni umane. Questo solleva la questione di ciò che il collegamento dei contenuti eterogenei della tragedia lirica libera, modifica e soffoca nel dramma originale.

Syftet med föreliggande arbete var att utforska tre sångares upplevelser av röstmetoden The Voice Work. Forskningsfrågan lyder: Hur uppfattar de intervjuade sångarna röstmetoden The Voice Work? Studien genomfördes genom kvalitativa intervjuer under hösten 2019 i en hermeneutisk analys, och diskuteras mot en bakgrund av samtida erfarenhetsbaserade röstmetoder samt röstforskning inom populärmusikaliska genrer. Resultatet presenteras i tre kapitel: Strävan efter autenticitet, Kropp och psyke – en helhet samt Utveckling. De intervjuade sångarna erfar The Voice Work som en metod med syfte att nå autenticitet i röstbruket. The Voice Work tillhandager ett accepterande förhållningssätt till den egna rösten enligt de intervjuade sångarna. Resultatet visar också att The Voice Work ger en upplevelse av rösten och psyket som en helhet, att röstklangen och intonationen styrs till mindre grad, de upplever sig inte förställa rösten. De intervjuade sångarna berättar även om upplevelser av friare röst, inre närvaro, självinsikter och hur arbetet påverkat dem känslomässigt. Igenom den andningsuppvärmning och det ljudande som sker i The Voice Work tränar de intervjuade sångarna att försöka förhålla sig icke-dömande till sig själv och sin kropp, de upplever en avspänning i röst och andning samt att de sjunger mer skonsamt vilket de använder i sin övning. Den intervjuade sångaren Lisa använder metoden även vid framträdanden för att minska resultatfokus. De intervjuade sångarna menar också att andningsuppvärmningen fått dem att hitta ett mentalt fokus, något som de menar de saknat verktyg för inom andra röstmetoder. / The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of three singers within the voice method The Voice Work. The study was conducted through qualitative interviews in the fall of 2019 through hermeneutic analysis and is discussed against a background of contemporary experience-based voice methods as well as voice research in popular musical genres. The result is presented in three chapters: The quest for authenticity, Body and psyche - a whole and Development. The interviewed singers perceive The Voice Work as a method with the aim of achieving authenticity in using the voice. The interviewed singers experience an accepting attitude to their voice. The Voice Work gives the interviewed singers an experience of the voice and the psychic being as a whole. The sound of voice and intonation is controlled to a lesser extent, helping them not dissembling the voice. The interviewed singers talk about experiences of a freer voice, inner presence, self-insights and how the work affected them emotionally. Through the breathing exercise and sounding that occurs in The Voice Work, the interviewed singers train to try to relate non-judgmentally to themselves and their body, they experience a relaxation in voice and breathing and that they sing more gently which they use in their vocal training. Interviewed singer Lisa uses the method in performances to reduce the focus on results. The interviewed singers also believe that the breathing exercise caused them to find a mental focus, which they lacked tools for in other voice methods.

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka om en medveten sångandning kan eliminera mina röstspänningar. Syftet bärs upp av följande forskningsfråga: Kan fokusering på andning eliminera röstspänningar? Studien utgår från ett fenomenologiskt livsvärldsperspektiv där videologgbok används som dokumentationsmetod. Resultatet presenteras med utgångspunkt i tre teman: spänningar, verktyg och andning under sång. Slutligen förs en diskussion i förhållande till den tidigare forskning och övrig litteratur som presenterats i bakgrundskapitlet. Diskussionen leder bland annat fram till slutsatsen om hur andning kan ses som ett verktyg för att skapa den medvetenhet som krävs för att eliminera röstspänningar. Avslutningsvis redogörs för arbetets betydelse och vidare forskningsmöjligheter. / The purpose of this study is to investigate whether or not being conscious of your breath while singing could eliminate my voice tension. The purpose is supported by the following research question: Can focusing on the breath eliminate voice tension? The study is based on a phenomenological life-world perspective where video logbook is used as a documentation method. The result is presented on the basis of three themes: tensions, tools and breathing during singing. Finally, a discussion is conducted in relation to the previous research and other literature presented in the background chapter. Among other things, the discussion leads to the conclusion about how breathing can be seen as a tool for creating the awareness that is needed to eliminate voice tension. Finally, the significance of the work and further research opportunities is explained.

Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur några sångpedagoger erfar fenomenet sångteknik. Forskningsfrågorna handlar om hur sångpedagogerna verbaliserar sin syn på sångteknik, registertermer och metoder samt hur sångpedagogerna förhåller sig till forskning i området. Utgångspunkterna för genomförandet är semistrukturerade intervjuer där fyra sångpedagoger med lärarexamen har intervjuats. Studiens teoretiska ramverk omfattas av fenomenologi med inriktning mot intentionalitet och livsvärdsfenomenologi. Intervjuerna spelades in med ljudupptagning som sedan transkriberades och analyserades med tematisk analys. De teman som utkristalliserades presenteras i resultatkapitlet och är följande: sångpedagogernas syn på sångteknik, sångpedagogernas erfarenheter och uppfattningar av register, sångpedagogernas egna metoder samt sångteknik och metoder i förhållande till forskning. Resultatet synliggör både likheter och olikheter i hur de ser på och verbaliserar sina förhållningssätt till sångteknik, registertermer, metoder och forskning. De erfarenheter som ligger till grund för dessa förhållningssätt erfars emellertid i den egna livsvärlden och har på olika sätt haft betydelse för hur de erfar fenomenet sångteknik och förhåller sig till det i undervisningen. Resultatet visar även att sångpedagogerna är överens om att forskning i sång är mycket viktigt, dock är det endast undantagsvis som de själva vänder sig till forskning. I diskussionen resoneras det vidare kring de teman som framkommer i resultatet i relation till den tidigare forskningen som presenteras samt det teoretiska perspektiv som genomsyrar studien. / The purpose of this study is to investigate vocal teachers views on and experiences with the singing technology phenomenon. The study’s research questions concerns how singing pedagogues verbalize their views on singing technique, their terms about register, methods and their relation to research. The starting points for implementation is semi structured interviews with four singing pedagogues whom all have a teachers degree. The study’s theoretical framework covers phenomenology and focus on intentionality and lifeworld phenomenology. The interviews was recorded with phonogram and later transcribed and analyzed through thematic analysis. The different themes which are presented in the result are as follows: the vocal teachers views on singing techniques, the vocal teachers experiences and perceptions of registers, the vocal teachers own methods and singing techniques and methods in relation to research. The result visualizes both similarities and differences in how they view and verbalize their approaches to singing technology, terms about register, methods and research. The experiences that form the basis of these approaches, however, are experienced in their own lifeworld and have in different ways been important for how they experience the phenomenon of singing technique and relates to it through teaching. The result also shows that the singing pedagogues agree that research on singing is very important, nonetheless they themselves seldom turn to research. The discussion is further conferring around the themes that emerge in the result in relation to the previous background and the theoretical perspective that permeates the study.

Studiens syfte har varit att öka förståelsen för röstliga uttryck i jazzmusik, med fokus på hur samspelet mellan ord och musik verkar i skivinspelningar med utvalda sångerskor. Utifrån en hermeneutisk ansats har fem skivinspelningar med fem svenska kvinnliga jazzsångerskor, samtliga utsedda till Jazz i Sverige-artister, beskrivits och tolkats ur ett vokalpedagogiskt perspektiv. I förhållande till jazzsångtraditionen visade sig två av studiens sångerskor på olika vis utmana vokala konventioner. Studiens resultat indikerar att utbildning stärkt jazzsångerskor så att de kan agera i flera roller i ensembler, också genom vokal improvisation och som kompositörer. Det framgick att samtliga sångerskor i studien framfört engelskspråkiga texter som främst behandlat kärleksmotiv. I detaljstudier av sångerskornas interpretation av texter, både egnas och andras, framstod komplexiteten i deras vokala framställning. Resultaten visar att texter kan fylla olika funktion i musikaliskt samspel, samt pekar på att studiet av inspelade röster kan vara ett redskap i undervisningen, både för jazzsånglärare och ensemblelärare. / The aim of the study is to enhance the understanding of voice expression in jazz music, focusing on the interplay between words and music in recordings of selected singers. From a hermeneutic approach five recordings of different Swedish female jazz singers, all selected as Jazz in Sweden- artists, has been described and interpreted from a vocal pedagogical perspective. In relation to the jazz vocal tradition it turned out that two of the singers in different ways challenged the conventions of jazz singing. Study findings indicate that education strengthened female jazz singers to find different roles in their interaction with other musicians in the ensemble, also through vocal improvisation and as composers. All singers in the study expressed themselves through lyrics in English that mainly dealt with love motifs. In detailed analysis of the songs and the singers interpretations of lyrics the complexity of the singers vocal production was shown. The study shows how lyrics for the singer can fulfill different functions in the musical interplay, and also implies that studies of recorded voices can be an educational tool, for both jazz vocal teachers as well as for ensemble teachers.
