WEEK 2!

Hello everyone,
My - what a fabulous Choir Posse we have this year - I look forward to making music with you.

Here's a little follow-up re: vocal anatomy.
Here's a video of SATB singing - vocal folds (aka, "cords")  The comments for this video are particularly puerile and witless; ignore them



Basic vocal anatomy

Opera singer - vocal folds of a soprano in action!


Good explanation of vocal cords and associated anatomy / function


The divine Ms. Cecelia Bartoli, supreme Queen of glottal articulation!



Inspiration for our sopranos: Diana Damrau, Queen of the Night!


Inspiration for our tenors and basses!


Placido Domingo for the tenors!


Fischer-Dieskau for the baritones!

Altos, I have not forgotten you - take a listen - This is Hilary Summers, who is more properly classified as a dramatic contralto.


Here is Hilary Summers singing the famous "Habanera" from Bizet's opera, "Carmen."

ONGOING RESOURCE:
Dr. Lloyd W. Hanson - one of the best vocal pedagogues ANYWHERE.
Here is his blog.
