Beginning in 1564, with the first physiological treatise of
Giovanni Camillo Maffei and ending with the remarkable development
of solo singing, the Italian dictum 'chi sa respirare e pronunciare
sa cantare' (He who knows how to breathe and pronounce knows how to
sing) has been transformed by science into the most sophisticated
and complete vocal paradigm in vocal history. In this
ground-breaking work, noted tenor, teacher, researcher, and
operatic director, Joseph Talia, takes us on an inspiring journey
through 450 years of history tracing such important topics as the
development of voice production and vocal science, the transition
from the sostegno system of breath management to the appoggio
system, the debate on vocal registers as a purely a glottal
phenomenon, and the importance of vocal elements such as posture,
messa di voce, portamento, trills, and many other coloratura
techniques and ornaments. All of these are analyzed through the
overarching framework of human emotions and impeccable aesthetic
appeal, remembering always Tosi's dictum that 'the heart is the
greatest of teachers'. Within these pages you will find a wealth of
knowledge accumulated by the great singing masters of the past such
as Bernacchi, Porpora, Tosi, Mancini, the Garcias, the Lampertis,
and the Marchesis, as well as the tremendous and assiduous work
performed by vocal scientists throughout history by such scientists
as Janwillem van den Berg, Vennard, Hirano, Fant, Ingo Titze, and
Sundberg to name just a few. A History of Vocal Pedagogy is a vital
resource for voice teachers, vocal researchers, serious vocal
students, and vocal connoisseurs.
