Sing French is an innovative approach to the study of French Diction for singers. Written by a professional singer and teacher, this book approaches the subject from the singer's standpoint, always taking into account the necessary singing space. The first two chapters explain fundamental facts such as accents, mute and aspirate h, syllabification, legato and patterns of accentuation and stress. Not only intended for the novice, these introductory chapters will also clarify some of the seeming mysteries about the French language to those who have studied it previously and could well be used as the essential basis for a diction course limited to less than a semester's time. Seven songs by Duparc, Fauré and Debussy are presented within the book with text analyses and vocal lines, complete with IPA transcriptions and literal translations. Full piano scores of these songs (each in two keys) comprise Appendix 4. On the three accompanying compact disks the French examples and vocal lines in the first three chapters are demonstrated along with songs in performance and the piano accompaniments in two keys [Publisher description].

Now in its second edition, A Handbook of Diction for Singers is a complete guide to achieving professional levels of diction in Italian, German, and French, the three major languages of the classical vocal repertory. Written for English-speaking singers and offering thorough, consistent explanations, it is an ideal tool for students and an invaluable reference for voice teachers, vocal coaches, and conductors. The book combines traditional approaches proven successful in the teaching of diction with important new material not readily available elsewhere, presenting the sounds of each language in logical order, along with essential information on matters such as diacritical marks, syllabification, word stress, and effective use of the variety of foreign-language dictionaries. Presented in an attractively concise format, the book goes into greater detail than comparable texts, providing specific information to clarify concepts typically difficult for English-speaking singers. Particular emphasis is placed on the characteristics of vowel length, the sequencing of sounds between words, as well as the differences between spoken and sung sounds in all three languages. Featuring significantly expanded coverage of each of the three languages and illustrated with numerous examples, this second edition of A Handbook of Diction for Singers is an exceptional text for courses in diction and a valuable reference source for all vocalists.
