This book develops ways of discussing musical practices to
articulate a new approach to understanding connections between
recordings, singers, and singing. Centred around materials from the
mid-twentieth century, this book focuses on a time when composers
and performers were questioning the idea of authorship within their
musical practice. Materials drawn upon include recordings, scores,
archival content, visual art, interviews, and liner notes to
develop a rich conception of practices of performance. Analysis of
performances include recordings of singers such as Cathy Berberian,
Linda Hirst, Lore Lixenberg, Angelika Luz, and Meredith Monk.
Compositions by Cathy Berberian, Luciano Berio, John Cage, and
Manuel De Falla are considered. The book utilizes these sources to
examine the collective way in which singers and composers form
practices as multiple, transforming, emergent, and not
hierarchical. The book articulates - with a detailed, close
consideration of specific instances in recordings and scores - a
relational understanding of performance. This book will be useful
reading for students and scholars of music analysis, musicology,
performance practice, and twentieth century vocal music.
