With Chinese art forms gaining notoriety worldwide, it is only
natural for there to be an uptick in interest in Chinese classical
music. The expanding market in Chinese classical music, as well as
the growing fame of Chinese composers, pave way for a new lucrative
career in Mandarin-language vocalism. Singing in Mandarin: A Guide
to Chinese Lyric Diction is a comprehensive guide to mastering
vocal repertoire in Mandarin. In part one, Katherine Chu and Juliet
Petrus focus on diction and language, providing detailed
descriptions on how to create the exact sounds and pronunciations
through International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and 'Pinyin'. Part
two outlines the historical context of Mandarin vocal tradition,
chronicling the development of the language and Chinese vocal
repertoire over the last 100 years. Audio files narrated by native
speakers demonstrating the sounds are also included. Singing in
Mandarin provides guidance for both novices and those with previous
experience singing or speaking in Mandarin and is the first book of
its kind to help bring the rich, previously inaccessible heritage
of Chinese vocal music to Western audiences.
