Great vocal teachers from the 16th century through the early 19th
century discovered through trial and error how to properly develop
the singing voice, and the term bel canto came to be applied to
both the manner of singing and the vocal music of that period. But
by 1858, according to Rossini, the term was already being misused
and wrongly confused with fioriture. Well-schooled in the teaching
of singing, Rossini more accurately describes bel canto as being
composed of: the building of the instrument; technique, or the
means of using the instrument; and style, of which the ingredients
are taste and feeling. In this 50th anniversary edition of The Free
Voice, renowned vocal pedagogue Cornelius L. Reid articulates the
teaching principles of his own school of functional vocal training,
grounded firmly in the old principles while remaining in line with
a modern understanding of the physical value of the vocal
instrument. The muscles that move the vocal folds and the vocal
folds themselves are involuntary, and as such, the singing voice is
not an instrument that can be manipulated directly. Reid's approach
to singing is one of indirect control, stemming from an
understanding of the vocal registers and how specific patterns of
pitch, intensity, and vowel affect the vocal folds. Through the
vocal exercises outlined in this book, and catered to each
individual, a poorly coordinated musculature can be brought to
efficiency. Only when the musculature of the vocal mechanism is
well-balanced and coordinated can the voice be free, and the
natural beauty and resonance of the individual voice come through
without force.
