Perfect Tenor Recital Selections

November 6, 2018 By Nora Miller Rubinoff Leave a Comment

Voice recitals are part of a voice student’s degree fulfillment requirements. Whether you are preparing for a Junior Recital, Senior Recital, or Graduate Recital, identifying and grouping texts to display your vocal skill is key. Texts may be selected and grouped by language, emotion, or level of difficulty. Texts may also be selected and grouped by composer or as a cycle of work from a single composer.

Although we often see a division in the Lyric Tenor Fach, there are technically only five Fächer for the tenor voice. (Want to learn more about the Fäch System and tenor voice? View our multi-part series on the Fäch System here: https://blog.ipasource.com2017/04/24/the-fach-system-the-tenor-voice/)

Grouped by Aria and Art Song, this post offers texts for a tenor voice performer to consider including in a recital program.

Perfect Baritone Recital Selections

September 6, 2018 By Nora Miller Rubinoff Leave a Comment

Georgio Ronconi-baritone
Georgio Ronconi, Italian operatic baritone
Attendees at a vocal recital fall into several categories: fans of the music; followers, family, or friends of the vocalist; those who wish to see or assess the singer’s performance; those who were brought along with someone else to the recital; and those who are needing persuasion.

Therefore, the preparation for a vocal recital – whether it’s a Junior Recital, Senior Recital, Graduate Recital, Elective Recital or some other type of recital performance – should be undertaken with a great deal of care.

Seven arias from Giuseppe Verdi’s La battaglia di Legnano

May 17, 2018 By Nora Miller Rubinoff Leave a Comment

BattagliaLegnano
“La Battaglia di Legnano”
Seven texts from La battaglia di Legnano, as set by Giuseppe Verdi, have recently been added to the IPA Source database.

La battaglia di Legnano is a four-act opera, with a libretto set by Salvadore Cammarano. It was first performed in January of 1849, and was commissioned by the Teatro Argentina theatre. In the 1850’s, Verdi had considered revising this opera, but never undertook the task.

Salvadore Cammarano was the librettist for  La battaglia di Legnano. Cammarano served as Verdi’s librettist for Alzira and Luisa Miller, and he collaborated with Leone Emanuele Bardare to write the libretto for Il Trovatore.

From wikipedia.org:

I vespri siciliani (Italian pronunciation: [i ˈvɛːspri sitʃiˈljaːni]; The Sicilian Vespers) is a five-act Italian opera originally written in French for the Paris Opéra by the Italian romantic composer Giuseppe Verdi and translated into Italian shortly after its premiere in June 1855.

Under its original title, Les vêpres siciliennes, the libretto was prepared by Eugène Scribe and Charles Duveyrier from their work Le duc d’Albe, which was written in 1838 and offered to Halévy and Donizetti before Verdi agreed to set it to music in 1854.
