Vocal range

piano’s dynamics were played at a mezzo forte level. There was at times quick staccatos and accents, however I heard very little crescendos and diminuendos. If there was anything more I would have liked from the piece it would have been a broader range of dynamics that came from the pianist. Even when the baritone had nothing to sing, the constant monochromatic sound from the piano was unmoving. However, as my disappointment about the lack of adversity coming from the piano invaded my thoughts,…

Montserrat Caballe As a legendary Spanish opera singer, Montserrat Caballe is considered one of the greatest opera singers of her generation. In terms of production and performance, she made more than 80 recordings and preformed almost 4,000 performances. Well trained as a young singer in her life, Caballe, certainly, had a special talent, which was sheer powerful voice.

Lyrical themes can range from extreme violence, war, murder, anti-religion, Satanism, mysticism, folklore, science fiction, politics, and even history. Many fans believe the term death metal came from the eponymous title of a song written by a thrash metal band called…

Speech becomes slow and laborious, characterized by short phrases, strained-strangled vocal quality, hypernasality, and monopitch (Hanson et al., 2011). As ALS continues to progress, communication difficulty in everyday interactions becomes present. With deterioration of communication ability, quality of life is likely to become significantly reduced as well. Because life expectancy among patients with ALS ranges from two to five years after diagnosis, it is important to preserve communication…

This view is based on the fact that they changed the course of music in the 60s and still have an influence on the contemporary music scene. One can see how their music changed the lifestyle of that generation by comparing the existent trends before…

a new life, For me. Wait for who? Who does “me” refer to? The singer presumably. So really, the whole tone of “Feeling Good” can be controlled by the singer. The lyrics never change, but by tweaking the arrangement through instrumentation or vocal timbre, the mood of the song can be flipped upside down and thrown onto the other side of the world. This could not be more clearly exemplified by the two covers of “Feeling Good” by Nina Simone in the 1960s and Muse in the early 2000s.…

landmark in the history of prelude and fugue, Sebastian Bach's The Well-Tempered Clavier combined two books: preludes and fugues and Twenty-four Preludes and Fugues [3]. Here I need to mention the well- temperament means twelve equal tones in an octave range, which is a tuning system described in the 20th century. Organist Arnolt Schlick had mentioned it in his article in the 16th century, but the well-temperament tuning system was not widely used in Baroque Period. Therefore, the Well-Tempered…
