Companion volume to Authentic Bel Canto Training: Vocalises.
Coloratura soprano Ewan Harbrecht Mitton provides detailed instruction about the disappearing art of bel canto singing. Spanning a career of over 50 years of professional singing and university instruction, she was classically trained by pioneering vocal instructors including Ruth & Mario Chamlee, and Maggie Teyte. Explanations are provided of the essential elements of singing, spanning breath to interpretation. The terms chiaroscuro, portamento, and messa di voce are discussed, and there are chapters devoted to breath, onset, register identification and blending, voice classification, pronunciation and diction, agility, and ornamentation. Audio clips of performances by the author are included to demonstrate the elements.
Authentic Bel Canto was reviewed in the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) Journal by Debra Greschner in January, 2014. “The volumes are well written and well researched. The manuals not only explain Mitton’s teaching method; they are treatises on the history of bel canto, expositions of the elements of singing, and guidebooks to the many facets of performance. The CDs are a valuable component… Mitton represents the amalgam of traditional pedagogue and voice scientist… Both the content and the presentation of this set are commendable.”
