While popular forms of Brazilian music include bossa nova and
samba, Brazil also has a rich classical music tradition dating back
to the 1500s that exhibits a unique and diverse amalgamation of
many styles and influences including African, Italian, French, and
indigenous. Singing in Brazilian Portuguese: A Guide to Lyric
Diction and Vocal Repertoire makes Brazilian modinhas and cancoes
accessible to singers through an overview of the history of the
language and music, brief biographies of major composers, and a
sampling of selected texts transliterated into the International
Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). Part I introduces the alphabet and
pronunciation of sounds through IPA and is enhanced by online audio
recordings of native Brazilian classical singers. Marcia D. Porter
covers such topics as oral and nasal vowels, diagraphs, onset and
final consonants, word stress, and syllabification. It also
includes an overview of the newly implemented Acordo Ortografico.
Part II provides IPA transliterations and both word-for-word and
poetic translations of representative songs, including
Villa-Lobos's Bachianas brasileiras, no. 5. The book also offers a
brief overview of the history of Brazilian vocal music and
biographical sketches of select major composers from various
periods. Singing in Brazilian Portuguese is the first resource of
its kind geared toward singers, voice teachers, vocal coaches,
collaborative pianists, and others who are interested in exploring,
teaching, and performing this beautiful and exciting repertoire.
