In Philosophy of Song and Singing: An Introduction, Jeanette Bicknell explores key aesthetic, ethical, and other philosophical questions that have not yet been thoroughly researched by philosophers, musicologists, or scientists. Issues addressed include: The relationship between the meaning of a song’s words and its music The performer’s role and the ensuing gender complications, social ontology, and personal identity The performer’s ethical obligations to audiences, composers, lyricists, and those for whom the material holds particular significance The metaphysical status of isolated solo performances compared to the continuous singing of opera or the interrupted singing of stage and screen musicals Each chapter focuses on one major musical example and includes several shorter discussions of other selections. All have been chosen for their illustrative power and their accessibility for any interested reader and are readily available.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1893 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER V REGISTERS The different registers of the voice should be regarded by the singer as only so many modifications in the quality of tone, which modifications are inherent in the voice itself. These modifications in quality are not to be brought about by conscious adjustments of the parts employed in making those modifications, as any interference with the parts will produce that obstacle to smoothness and equality in the scale which we commonly call a " break." If the entire throat, which of course includes the tongue, is allowed to remain perfectly free and untrammelled; if no part is held in a fixed position, and if the lungs remain free to expand to the ingoing and outgoing of the breath, as they will if the diaphragm be neither held in a fixed position nor consciously worked, the registers will assert themselves naturally, and merge imperceptibly into one another with perfect ease. The number of registers varies in different voices. The soprano and contralto voices of full compass have five registers, the tenor has three, and the bass and barytone have two. From a physiological standpoint these registers represent different adjustments of the vocal cords or ligaments, and also different positions of the larynx itself, which different positions cause a variation in the dimensions of the throat. The larynx stands lowest for the lower chest register, and in this position the throat is long and wide; and as the larynx gradually ascends for each succeeding register, the throat becomes shorter and narrower, until it reaches the highest point, when the space in the throat is very small. From the standpoint of the singer, however, the registers simply represent different qualities of sound and different points of reverberation in the...

Excerpt from The Philosophy of Singing This 13, therefore, but a little book. But small as it is, it represents a quarter of a century of con stant groping and reaching out for the true prin ciples which govern the art of singing in its high est aspect, which is the most eloquent and direct expression not only of the individualized soul, but also of the great universal soul itself.

The author of the classic philosophical treatment of love reflects on the trajectory, over decades, of his thoughts on love and other topics. In 1984, Irving Singer published the first volume of what would become a classic and much acclaimed trilogy on love. Trained as an analytical philosopher, Singer first approached his subject with the tools of current philosophical methodology. Dissatisfied by the initial results (finding the chapters he had written “just dreary and unproductive of anything”), he turned to the history of ideas in philosophy and the arts for inspiration. He discovered an immensity of speculation and artistic practice that reached wholly beyond the parameters he had been trained to consider truly philosophical. In his three-volume work The Nature of Love, Singer tried to make sense of this historical progression within a framework that reflected his precise distinction-making and analytical background. In this new book, he maps the trajectory of his thinking on love. It is a “partial” summing-up of a lifework: partial because it expresses the author's still unfolding views, because it is a recapitulation of many published pages, because love—like any subject of that magnitude—resists a neatly comprehensive, all-inclusive formulation. Adopting an informal, even conversational, tone, Singer discusses, among other topics, the history of romantic love, the Platonic ideal, courtly and nineteenth-century Romantic love; the nature of passion; the concept of merging (and his critique of it); ideas about love in Freud, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Dewey, Santayana, Sartre, and other writers; and love in relation to democracy, existentialism, creativity, and the possible future of scientific investigation. Singer's writing on love embodies what he has learned as a contemporary philosopher, studying other authors in the field and “trying to get a little further.” This book continues his trailblazing explorations.

The growing interest in the training of the speaking and singing voice which the general public has of late shown, would ensure any good text-book on the subject a hearty welcome. It is, therefore, with pleasure we call the attention of our readers to the this edition of Mr. Lunn's treatise on the voice. So much new matter has been added to the volume that in a sense it may be called a new book. To the profession, teacher and pupil, it should prove of great value, treating as it does subjects of importance and interest, and offering solutions to questions that have long been awaiting them. To all who are obliged to speak or sing much it will be of service. Voice production affects the pulpit, the platform, and the stage; the principles of restoration should be known to every National School teacher throughout the kingdom, and especially should they be known to every medical practitioner, for voice production embraces a far wider sphere than music, and penetrates where the latter never enters. br> This thought must frequently have occurred to many. Have the medical profession taken a full advantage of the preventive and curative qualities of voice culture with regard to diseases of the chest? Further, Is there not some need for legislation, when in the School Board Chronicle for March 3, 1900, we read, that there were in London alone 1,800 out of 3,000 teachers suffering from School Board laryngitis? Is this satisfactory either for the teacher or pupil? Moreover, some restraint is surely needed to check unqualified and incompetent people from practicing at the expense of their pupils, as serious damage to the throat is often the inevitable result. Though we are tempted to quote at length from the work, an enumeration of some of the subjects treated must suffice. There are chapters on The Infant Voice, Natural Physics of Voice, Roots of Vocal Art, Oratory, Aerial Foundation, Self-revealed Voice, Æsthetics of Voice, The Old School, Stammering and Stuttering, &c. Such subjects as breath control, the action of the ventricles, the registers, falsetto, difference between the male and female voice, are treated in an able manner, and will well repay careful reading. The author has evidently thought long and deeply over his subject, and in the theories he advances deserves a respectful hearing. At times he is somewhat severe with those who may hold different opinions, but this is no doubt due to his intense interest in his subject. We hope he will be able not only to give us the volume on the technical side of the art, which we understand is nearly ready, but also one treating the matter from the artistic side. The publishers deserve credit for their share in the work, which is well done. -The Month, Volume 97 [1901]

The human voice does not deceive. The one who is speaking is inevitably revealed by the singular sound of her voice, no matter "what" she says. Starting from the given uniqueness of every voice, Cavarero rereads the history of philosophy through its peculiar evasion of this embodied uniqueness.

The last twenty years or so have seen a surge of interest in the philosophy of music. However there is comparatively little philosophical literature devoted specifically to songs, singing and vocal music in general. This new collection of essays on the philosophical aspects of song and singing includes articles on the relationship between words and music in songs, the ontology of songs and recordings, meaning in songs, the metaphysics of vocal music in opera and the movies, and the ethical challenges raised in song performance. The essays discuss a large range of examples, including rock, lieder, jazz songs, blues, doo wop, and rap. New essays by leading philosophers of art, including Peter Kivy (on "realistic song" in film), Jerrold Levinson (on jazz singing), Lee B. Brown (on the "minstrel hypothesis" in popular music), and Ted Gracyk (on linguistic pragmatics and song meaning). Papers that offer ground-breaking theories of the appreciation of rock recordings, the ethical implications of popular songs, the ontology of ephemeral artworks, the ontological status of cover versions, and of how a genre of popular music can both express and be a function of its social context papers that challenge existing accounts of much-debated topics, including operatic metaphysics and of the ontology of recorded music. Interdisciplinary essays that cut across aesthetics, philosophy of music, cultural music studies and musicology. Essays that are clearly written and engaging.

Considered by many to be the greatest Irish song poet of her generation, Máire Bhuí Ní Laeire (Yellow Mary O’Leary; 1774–1848) was an illiterate woman unconnected to elite literary and philosophical circles who powerfully engaged the politics of her own society through song. As an oral arts practitioner, Máire Bhuí composed songs whose ecstatic, radical vision stirred her community to revolt and helped to shape nineteenth-century Irish anti-colonial thought. This provocative and richly theorized study explores the re-creative, liminal aspect of song, treating it as a performative social process that cuts to the very root of identity and thought formation, thus re-imagining the history of ideas in society.
