In the classes we will look at each piece and its performer as a whole, and work from there, be it from the side of musical interpretation, vocal technique, pronunciation, rhetoric and delivery of the text. All of them serving the purpose of giving a more authentic performance and making the student a more comfortable and confident performer, ready to explore his or her own possibilities. The musical choice can range from late renaissance madrigalists to Mozart, with a preference for the solo vocal repertoire from the Early Baroque Italian music and Renaissance solo vocal repertoire from England and Spain. We will work on ornamentation and style (messa di voce, trillo, gruppo, esclamazione, ribattuta di gola, cascata, diminution, etc.).
