History of children's choirs
Etymologically, the term means choir school "singers in the morning" at the Renaissance
, training related to children's choirs in the parish of a cathedral singing at church services. The masters were schools that offered children a musical education member high level but also a solid general education and religion. They were therefore particularly popular with families who can afford to enroll their children. The vast majority of musicians of the time were trained at these schools. Several big names in music history have made their initial ranges, as
Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
, Schubert
..
From the fourth century to the eighth century
In
313, the Edict of Milan
promulgated by the Roman Emperor Constantine
recognizes the right of Christians to practice their religion and makes
Christianity a state religion. Therefore, Christians are beginning to organize their liturgy to settle in Roman society. They quickly understood the importance of music at liturgies and are beginning to take an interest in choral singing and the training of choristers. From that moment, the Roman popes have maintained their chorus of singers trained.
is not known exactly when the first music schools, or masters were created, but it has documents that describe the purity of the voices of children from the middle of the sixth century. Under the pontificate of Pope Saint Gregory
at the end of the century, are developing the first choir structured
Rome, a kind of preserve the Roman liturgical chant.
At the end of the eighth century, Charlemagne
dream of rebuilding the Holy Roman Empire of the West dismantled during the barbarian invasions, to counter the growing influence of the Byzantine Empire
. He wants to include a cultural renaissance of the West and for this purpose based on the Church only permanent structure of the former empire and only force capable of spreading the culture by means of education and evangelization. It creates school link to the parishes, monasteries and dioceses, which master's education are an integral part of the song. It is in these schools that are born early
polyphonic masses and the art of counterpoint
, laying the foundations of what would become western music. The first French control was established at Amiens in 1324, followed by Senlis in 1349, St Quentin in 1356 and Beauvais in 1369.

Renaissance, the excellence of the musical is played between four chapels: that of the Pope in Rome, the King of France, the King of England and the Dukes of Burgundy and Count of Flanders . At that time these schools produce some big names in music then:
The French Revolution In France, the Revolution would get rid of religious symbols: the Masters were suppressed by law 1791, then replaced by the Paris Conservatoire, centralized structure aimed at better control education music. If some masters were timidly resumed after the Revolution, it was not until the Concordat
and especially Restoration for the Church to find the financial means manage these schools. The nineteenth century The first half of the nineteenth century was difficult to master, sometimes encouraged by state subsidies, now left to fend for themselves or even attacked based on the current political regime, the Church no longer afford to manage all that
Middle Ages. Smaller structures disappeared completely. Larger survived at the cost of social reorganization: unable to ensure the overall education of its members children, they are quartered in their musical training, in addition of education provided in other structures. The second half of the nineteenth century saw a renaissance masters degrees in more modern forms: new courses were built. They remained, however, very elitist and recruited only by competition.
The twentieth century In 1906, two students founded the hearts of Little Singers of the Wooden Cross independently of any church or cathedral, breaking the old tradition. It was designed as a mobile training, ranging from church to church, across France, in order to inform sacred music and the uniqueness of children's voices. From
1931, under the leadership of Father Fernand Maillet
, the choir began to tour around the world. The unprecedented success of the Little Singers of Wood gave a new impetus to choral singing for children: many choirs began to emerge all over Europe after the Second World War, which was given the choir school name, borrowing an old term used for religious services. The organization of these choirs is taking new forms: first composed exclusively of boys - the mix will not appear until around the year 1970
- they took the children outside school hours, during weekends, Thursdays (when holidays for children) and holidays. Management and organization of the choir concerts and tours are largely provided by volunteers near the structure (adult choir desks man, parents of former choir members, friends, etc..). Many older traditional masters eventually adopt this type of operation. This growth became a reality in the years 1950 in the movement of Pueri Cantores, organized into a federation of same name, which still exists today. Most of the choir school (but not all) are religious, more or less part of a religious structure as a parish or college, and continue to provide liturgies. They are characterized by a value of volunteering and a certain ideology: brotherhood among the choir, the importance of work, beauty of song, building a better world, etc.. In France, from the years 1980 the state began to promote choral singing by allowing certain organizations and adaptations of school time for children wishing to work in a choir. Despite this, attendance at choir school was becoming increasingly rare in the late 90s. Scandals of sexual abuse found in some children's choirs as well as in the Catholic Church has contributed much to the desertion of these structures at a time when pedophilia
became a burning social issue. In 2004
, the unprecedented success of the film Les Choristes caused sudden and significant increase in applications for registration with children's choirs. It is not known yet if

Ems From China Super Slow
singing voice
The classical singing requires years of learning because of its complexity. Not only the future opera singer must learn to use his vocal tract in a manner totally different from the one he usually uses it to talk, but it needs more, gain automatic neuromuscular extremely complex, unaided visual or touch as is the case for the learning of others musical instruments. The operation of the vocal tract can be likened to that of a wind instrument. Like him, it consists of three components: a wind tunnel (ie the lungs), a vibrator (vocal cords) and a resonator (cavity pharyngo-oral). What happens when one speaks or sings it? The breath from the lungs enters the top of the trachea which he faces the vocal cords. There are two muscles that look like lips, located at the upper end of the trachea, along with his section. The lung air will be charged in hot air at each opening of the vocal cords. These puffs of air will succeed at a faster or slower depending on whether the vocal cords vibrate faster or slower. The more they vibrate faster, the sound is sharp and vice versa. Thus, when the famous singer Mado Robin issued the highest note that a voice can be achieved: the RE6 a>, his vocal cords vibrate 2349 times per second! After this rapid overview of the vocal tract, we will now study in detail how the three work elements that compose it, starting with the blower. breathing that is used when at rest is reflex activity that requires no physical effort. The mechanism is simple: a message is sent by the brain to the diaphragm so that it shrinks. Diaphragmatic contraction this will lead to expanding the chest. Indeed, when it contracts, the diaphragm moves down, causing the floor to the bottom of the rib cage and simultaneously expanding the six ribs on which it is inserted. The enlargement of the rib cage will cause an increase in lung volume (which are secured to the extent they are attached to it by the pleura), creating a pressure less than intrapulmonary atmospheric pressure. This situation of relative vacuum inside the lungs will trigger a call to look important, and so the lungs will fill passively. During expiration, diaphragmatic contraction and relaxes the lungs and airways and chest sag again. This respiratory cycle is repeated about 17 times per minute in an adult at rest, the air intake being about 500 ml with each breath.
The practice of singing requires a larger amount of air in the range of 1000 to 1500 ml, according to data from BUNCH which requires a greater expenditure of energy. Breathing becomes in this case, a conscious or voluntary. What is the mechanism? During inspiration, lung volume increases dramatically as the chest expands in all its dimensions under the action of multiple muscle groups. The activity of these various muscles is coordinated with that of the diaphragm which, by contracting goes down, thus increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity. This movement of the diaphragm pushes down and forward the visceral mass producing a bulge in the upper abdomen called epigastrium. The expiration, which is passive in the tidal breathing, becomes active in speech and volunteer in the song where you have to precisely control the flow of the air. The muscles involved in the end are those whose business is to decrease the volume of the thoracic cavity, ie abdominal muscles whose contraction, coupled with the gradual relaxation of the diaphragm, lungs will expel the air in the manner of a piston.
But the imperatives of singing require regular sound intensity is related to the subglottic pressure, ie the pressure of the pulmonary air below the vocal cords. To maintain a constant subglottic pressure throughout the expiratory phase, the singer must coordinate the activities of inspiratory and expiratory muscles. This delicate balance is achieved "by maintaining the position of the inspiratory rib cage as long as possible while contracting the abdominal muscles and gradually releasing the contraction of the diaphragm (BUNCH). The basis of all education is based on voice control of the breath, the goal is not to store huge amounts of air but how to control the expiration so as to obtain a steady flow and constant subglottic pressure. That's what singers call the support of the breath. To sing the breathing type is the most effective one that can quickly take the amount of air required without inducing muscle tension interfering with the functioning of the organs of phonation. Thus, the predominance costal breathing is outlawed because it is necessarily accompanied by an elevation of the shoulders that can not be achieved with the contraction of muscles suspending the larynx, which hinders the operation thereof. The respiratory type most used because of its effectiveness is the costo-abdominal breathing, which not only precisely control the pressure and expiratory flow rate but also has the advantage of increasing the voice power. WEDIN has indeed demonstrated that the intensive work of the lateral abdominal muscles for five days, increasing vocal intensity driven in subjects 6 to 7 decibels. CORNUT for his part, highlighted the use of different muscle groups as the voice work to be done. Thus, "for the sounds required, linked or transmitted with a high intensity, the opera singer will use the abdominal muscles that are long does not allow rapid movement, but needed to develop a force expiratory important. In contrast, staccato notes (which are short notes, separated from each other) will require the use of intercostal muscles short allowing fast and precise movements but unable by themselves to produce expiratory pressure needed to support a required or her strong. " Lets see how the second element of the vocal apparatus: the vibrator. The larynx, which contains the vocal cords, is located at the upper end of the trachea. What is it made? Just above the trachea, in its extension, is the cricoid cartilage which has the appearance of a ring whose kitten is turned backwards. Articulated to the cricoid cartilage, thyroid cartilage prominence which is earlier Adam's apple. Finally, connected to the larynx, first at the base of the skull, tongue, mandible, the sternum to the clavicle and scapula on the other hand, the hyoid bone in the form of iron horse open toward the rear, which is the only isolated bones of the skeleton. This privileged position represents an important element in the song, because through it we will be able to indirectly control the mobility of the larynx using anatomical elements on which we can act consciously as the tongue, the mandible or the occiput which is controlled perfect position. We'll come back a little more detail on the thyroid cartilage which is shaped like an open book to the rear and within which lie the vocal cords. According to the anchor point, the joint cricothyroid allows either the thyroid cartilage from tipping forward or to the cricoid cartilage to switch back, the result in both cases an increase of longitudinal tension vocal cords vibrate, which thus faster. The vocal cords are attached to the front at the inner corner of the thyroid cartilage and to the rear, two small arytenoid cartilages called triangular based on the kitten of the cricoid. Thanks to their facet joints and muscles that command, the arytenoids can perform rotation, translation and scale, which will operate to exclude or to bring the vocal cords, to thicken or refine them, to increase or decrease their voltage. The frame which is formed cartilaginous larynx has an intrinsic musculature or endolaryngée composed of different muscles whose primary function is to ensure the opening and closing of the vocal cords but also change their shape and size. To this is added an intrinsic muscles extrinsic muscles formed by the suspensory muscles of the larynx and intended to maintain it in place while allowing sufficient mobility to enable it to perform vertical and anteroposterior during respiration, phonation and swallowing. We will now move to the last element which is the vocal apparatus: the resonator. With current methods of investigation, we have the ability to record audio at the output of the vocal cords. That is what is called the laryngeal sound. At this level, the only thing seen is the intonation or melody of the sentence. We know for example if the speaker asks a question, or says something, but what he says will remain completely incomprehensible. The voice in the rough, will be changed by passing through the various resonant cavities located above the vocal cords to become the floor. These cavities called supra-glottal cavities are formed by the pharyngeal cavity, oral cavity and secondarily the nasal cavity and lips. (Indeed, to say oral achievements, such as the vowel "a" pulmonary air escapes only through the mouth because the soft palate, applied against the posterior pharyngeal wall, preventing access of air to the nasal cavity. However, to say the achievements nose, for example, the vowel "an" due to the lowering of the soft palate, the air escapes both through the nasal cavity and oral cavity. Similarly, the realization of vowels like "or" requires major lip projection which will create an additional resonance cavity between the teeth and lips). The changes of shape and dimensions of the supra-glottal cavities are due to movements of articulatory organs (tongue, palate, mandible, lips, pharynx, larynx) and allow the formation of vowels and consonants whose estate is the temporal language. Singing voice requires a vocal tract completely free. If implementation vowels is not a major problem in the song, this is not true for the consonants. Indeed, they can be made with an obstruction or a momentary tightening of the vocal tract, which hinders the flow of the air and breaks the continuity of the melodic line. The art of singing is to find a balance between the accommodations buccopharyngeal essential to a proper vocal production and changes in the oral cavity necessary for the articulation of speech sounds, which are not always compatible and are often even contradictory. The Art of Singing is the result of a technical perfect voice whose main purpose is to enable the future opera singer to sing often, long, without effort or fatigue. Do not forget that it will occur several times a week, singing a whole evening, dominate an orchestra of eighty musicians or more without sound, he will not only sing but to comply with the requirements of staging: walk, run, kneel, fight, fall, dragging down, etc. ... All this requires excellent vocal technique and a physical strength and nervous foolproof and will require intensive daily training. learning of vocal technique can begin very early in children's choirs, but the voice work early in the young boy poses the problem of molting, the most controversial issue is whether or not you can sing during the pubertal period. Some educators believe that this is possible provided it is careful in the choice exercises. But most professors of singing, and speech pathologists are odologues supporters of absolute vocal rest for the duration of the moult, in order not to jeopardize the future voice of the child. According to statistics conducted recently in the United States, molt occurs between 12 and 15 years and can last several months or years. It Endocrine happens for reasons that molting is delayed or distorted, which gives the subject's voice a female character. In authentic barrows, molt never took place, castration with the specific aim of preventing occur normally. Schematically, we can say that the castrati possessed a larynx of a child on adult lung, the effects of a voice is a voice very extensive, covering more than three octaves, a powerful voice and breath-holding exceptional. Thus, the famous Farinelli could hold a note about two minutes, while the maximum duration of vocalization for a professional singer is about 30 seconds. The intensive work which were subject barrows (9 to 10 hours per day), also gave them an unusual vocal agility.
While castration was officially banned by the church several times, notably by Gregory XIV to XVI century and then by Clement XIV in the middle of the eighteenth century, castrati continued to be in the choir of the Sistine Chapel until in 1903, when they were finally excluded by Pope Leo XIII. The prohibition against women singing in churches and the Roman scenes is the origin of the primordial qu'occupèrent barrows for almost two centuries. After the abandonment of castration, the women resumed their prerogative and it is natural to them that will now be assigned jobs that match their voices. evolution of opera led to specialization more and more jobs that consequently leads to the emergence of a multitude of vocal categories. Indeed, if use is to distribute all the voices of singers who are six main categories, ranging from the acute to the grave: - for female voices
soprano mezzo-soprano contralto
- for men's voices tenor baritone bass
We will soon add their numerous sub-categories whose names reflect the range (part of the vocal range in which the singer is comfortable), the intensity of voice, timbre, and use the theater. Nearly 90 terms are currently used in France to denote different kinds of voices. Thus, for example, the category of sopranos is divided into seven sub-categories are from the acute to the grave: the light soprano coloratura soprano lightweight, light lyric soprano, lyric soprano, lyric soprano large The soprano lirico-spinto, the dramatic soprano. It's the same for every other major voice categories. Regarding children's voices, this classification is limited to two basic categories: pitched voices or voices of sopranos and deep voices or contralto voice. Ranking voice of a singer starting in one of six basic categories is one of the most difficult problems, faced by the singing teacher, speech pathologist and the odologue. Besides the vocal timbre and intensity, the main criterion on which it relies to classify a voice is the range. Each individual has a number of notes of the sub-bass to shrill he may issue more or less ease and forming his vocal range, while its range will consist of the portion of the vocal range that can radiate with maximum ease. The improvement in vocal technique in vocal studies, tends to match the limits of the range with those of the vocal range where the frequent confusion between the two terms. The range of average male voice is 2 octaves + 1 third, the female voices of 2 octaves 1 / 2 to 3 octaves. (Note that in speech, modulation pitch intonation which are rarely more than an octave). The range itself is subdivided into three main registers are: the serious
The classical singing requires years of learning because of its complexity. Not only the future opera singer must learn to use his vocal tract in a manner totally different from the one he usually uses it to talk, but it needs more, gain automatic neuromuscular extremely complex, unaided visual or touch as is the case for the learning of others musical instruments. The operation of the vocal tract can be likened to that of a wind instrument. Like him, it consists of three components: a wind tunnel (ie the lungs), a vibrator (vocal cords) and a resonator (cavity pharyngo-oral). What happens when one speaks or sings it? The breath from the lungs enters the top of the trachea which he faces the vocal cords. There are two muscles that look like lips, located at the upper end of the trachea, along with his section. The lung air will be charged in hot air at each opening of the vocal cords. These puffs of air will succeed at a faster or slower depending on whether the vocal cords vibrate faster or slower. The more they vibrate faster, the sound is sharp and vice versa. Thus, when the famous singer Mado Robin issued the highest note that a voice can be achieved: the RE6 a>, his vocal cords vibrate 2349 times per second! After this rapid overview of the vocal tract, we will now study in detail how the three work elements that compose it, starting with the blower. breathing that is used when at rest is reflex activity that requires no physical effort. The mechanism is simple: a message is sent by the brain to the diaphragm so that it shrinks. Diaphragmatic contraction this will lead to expanding the chest. Indeed, when it contracts, the diaphragm moves down, causing the floor to the bottom of the rib cage and simultaneously expanding the six ribs on which it is inserted. The enlargement of the rib cage will cause an increase in lung volume (which are secured to the extent they are attached to it by the pleura), creating a pressure less than intrapulmonary atmospheric pressure. This situation of relative vacuum inside the lungs will trigger a call to look important, and so the lungs will fill passively. During expiration, diaphragmatic contraction and relaxes the lungs and airways and chest sag again. This respiratory cycle is repeated about 17 times per minute in an adult at rest, the air intake being about 500 ml with each breath.
The practice of singing requires a larger amount of air in the range of 1000 to 1500 ml, according to data from BUNCH which requires a greater expenditure of energy. Breathing becomes in this case, a conscious or voluntary. What is the mechanism? During inspiration, lung volume increases dramatically as the chest expands in all its dimensions under the action of multiple muscle groups. The activity of these various muscles is coordinated with that of the diaphragm which, by contracting goes down, thus increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity. This movement of the diaphragm pushes down and forward the visceral mass producing a bulge in the upper abdomen called epigastrium. The expiration, which is passive in the tidal breathing, becomes active in speech and volunteer in the song where you have to precisely control the flow of the air. The muscles involved in the end are those whose business is to decrease the volume of the thoracic cavity, ie abdominal muscles whose contraction, coupled with the gradual relaxation of the diaphragm, lungs will expel the air in the manner of a piston.
But the imperatives of singing require regular sound intensity is related to the subglottic pressure, ie the pressure of the pulmonary air below the vocal cords. To maintain a constant subglottic pressure throughout the expiratory phase, the singer must coordinate the activities of inspiratory and expiratory muscles. This delicate balance is achieved "by maintaining the position of the inspiratory rib cage as long as possible while contracting the abdominal muscles and gradually releasing the contraction of the diaphragm (BUNCH). The basis of all education is based on voice control of the breath, the goal is not to store huge amounts of air but how to control the expiration so as to obtain a steady flow and constant subglottic pressure. That's what singers call the support of the breath. To sing the breathing type is the most effective one that can quickly take the amount of air required without inducing muscle tension interfering with the functioning of the organs of phonation. Thus, the predominance costal breathing is outlawed because it is necessarily accompanied by an elevation of the shoulders that can not be achieved with the contraction of muscles suspending the larynx, which hinders the operation thereof. The respiratory type most used because of its effectiveness is the costo-abdominal breathing, which not only precisely control the pressure and expiratory flow rate but also has the advantage of increasing the voice power. WEDIN has indeed demonstrated that the intensive work of the lateral abdominal muscles for five days, increasing vocal intensity driven in subjects 6 to 7 decibels. CORNUT for his part, highlighted the use of different muscle groups as the voice work to be done. Thus, "for the sounds required, linked or transmitted with a high intensity, the opera singer will use the abdominal muscles that are long does not allow rapid movement, but needed to develop a force expiratory important.

The range of average male voice is 2 octaves + 1 third, the female voices of 2 octaves 1 / 2 to 3 octaves. (Note that in speech, modulation pitch intonation which are rarely more than an octave). The range itself is subdivided into three main registers are: the serious
the medium
treble
which correspond three transmission modes: the chest voice to the serious
mixed voice for the medium,
the head voice and falsetto for the high range. Why these appellations
chest voice and head voice?
Simply because of the location of what the singers call resonance. This is in fact internal sensitivities produced by the vibrations transmitted to the skeleton and larynx. These internal sensitivities are at the chest wall for the bass, giving the impression that the singer's voice it resonates in the chest and in the craniofacial bone for the treble, which gives the singer the illusion that her voice echoing in his head. < What is the function of internal sensitivities? They are very important in singing because they allow the singers to place their votes by providing benchmarks and means of controlling their emissions, more reliable than the auditory control that is subject to significant changes in function the room acoustics.
How is the acquisition of domestic sensitivities? It
by ear only that the teacher will guide the student and teach him to associate an auditory image an internal sensitivity. This practice is the conditioning of reflexes allows the student to acquire the memory or kinesthetic memory and muscle movement memory pallesthetic, that is to say, the memory location of the most intense vibrations which are all both indispensable to control the emission. As physio-pallesthetic memory is acquired, that is to say as auditory memory is the only one to be used, students are absolutely incapable of judging their own production as soon as the conditions under which they used to sing are modified and especially the acoustics of the room. This proves the importance of domestic sensitivities in self-control issue.
When the voice is well placed, it is not only pleasant to hear, but it has a scope which is reflected on the acoustic level by enhancing the harmonics in the region of 3000 Hz is what SUNDBERG called the Singing Formant and others before him had called the ring. This "ring" or "Singing Formant" is always present in a cultured voice regardless of the vowel used, the frequency or intensity of sound that allows the singer to escape the masking effect of the orchestra (including sound energy maximum is located around 450 Hz). Instruments like the trumpet or bugle that have far-reaching sound, have the same characteristic harmonics building around 3000 Hz Similarly, the rooster, which, as everyone knows, is very far, we found a peak of intensity around 3000 Hz Why this spectral region near 3000 Hz determines Does the scope of a sound? Simply because on the one hand, it is beyond the zone of maximum intensity of different sounds that make up our sound environment and secondly, it corresponds to the frequency band where the hearing is optimal. The ear, in fact, does not receive the same intensity as they sound the same are located in the bass or treble. The relationship between the physical intensity of sound and perceived loudness is extremely complex, we note only that the hearing sensitivity increases from 25 to 3000 Hz
To better understand the mechanisms used to amplify the singing voice without effort or fatigue, take a concrete example. If you vibrate a tuning fork next to a box whose resonant frequency is equal to the pitch, the sound of it, barely audible from outside, will be enhanced by the cavity resonance that is the case and will get along perfectly. It is this principle that we used to sing. If we replace the pitch by the vocal cords and the box by the oral-pharyngeal cavity, to emit a powerful enough without giving any effort, just to give the cavity resonance (ie the pharyngeal cavity and oral cavity) on the laryngeal sound by changing their shape and therefore volume. But when you sing the bass to treble, there comes a time when the resonant cavities are no longer in agreement with laryngeal sound and do not amplify more. We must therefore adjust the volume of the resonator pharyngo-buccal, the re-tuning to some extent on his larynx. That's what the singers make the call path. When properly executed, the transition between the registers is inaudible and the singer's voice is so perfectly uniform from one end to another of its range, which has led some authors to deny the existence of vocal registers. It is the passage of the medium in which the upper is more difficult for beginners. The two main defects that are commonly found, a lack of muscle tone which will consequently weaken and détimbrer of notes located in the vicinity of the transition, an exaggeration of the muscular contractions that will lead to the so-called tightening. In this case, the sounds are shrill or strident and vibrato too fast.
The vibrato of the singing voice is characterized by periodic variations in frequency and intensity which may be synchronous or antiphase. It follows a perfect balance between different muscle coordination necessary to the performance of vocal gesture, which explains why it is found only in the voices worked and that their operation has a faulty vocal impact on its quality. It deteriorates in case of misuse of the vocal apparatus and with age. The parameters are mainly affected the amplitude (ie the musical interval between the extremes of sound vibrated) and frequency (ie the number of frequency modulations per unit of time):
Regarding amplitude, the standard is between 1 / 4 and 3 / 4 / tone. Below 1 / 4 tone, the sound is dull, hard, unpleasant, over a tone, the sound is unstable: it is said that the voice moves.
For periodicity, the norm is between 5 and 7 times per second. Below 5, the voice quavers and above 7, there tremolo.
But besides this role of "barometer of vocal health", the vibrato has several functions:
he first denied an aesthetic function. A sound emitted without vibrato is indeed unpleasant to the ear because it seems hard, flat, dull, détimbré, expressionless.
vibrato can sing less fair: when its amplitude reaches a semitone, for example, this means that the singer has a margin of safety of a semitone within which it can allow for variations in height without the audience noticing. According
Leippe, vibrato can also sing very least: "We know that the fixed offers contribution that a particular nerve cell gets tired and becomes less and less effective. With vibrato, each one has time to recover (refractory period) and vibrated sound seems more intense than the same sound vibrated not for that reason. "
vibrato serves Finally, according Leipp, increase efficiency by allowing the voice vote to avoid the masking effect of the orchestra. "On a sonogram visually, which transposes reality as it is perceived, the instruments of the orchestra will appear as a line spectrum. The voice with vibrato emerges and detaches easily from the orchestral accompaniment. The vibrato makes it possible to increase the vocal performance at lower costs. "
Because it reflects a correct use of the vocal tract allows the vibrato singing teacher to diagnose certain faults in the students, especially those under the coordination between breathing and phonation.
Contrary to what one might think, the vocal performance (represented by the relative efficacy / fatigue) does not depend on the proper functioning of all three floors of the vocal apparatus (bellows lung, laryngeal vibrator, oral-pharyngeal resonator ), but the result of perfect coordination between these three levels. The coordination between breath and laryngeal function as Tarneaud called pneumo-phonic coordination will allow a very fine regulation of the subglottic pressure as a function of frequency and intensity of the sound, thus ensuring a supply laryngeal correct, while accommodation cavity resonance on the laryngeal called by phono-résonantiel Tarneaud agreement will be responsible for the quality of the sound, especially with regard to its tone and color.
to secure a student's completion of all neuromuscular coordination necessary for song learning, the teacher uses a variety metaphors which rarely coincide with the physiological reality but usually allow the young singer to understand what is expected of him. However, insofar as it has no way to act consciously on some elements of the vocal tract, such as the pharyngeal diameter, the position of the soft palate or the larynx, instructions such as: " Open your throat! "," Lift your veil! " or "Drop your larynx!" pose enormous problems for novice singer. Yet after a number of years of study, students will be perfectly capable of performing them. How is it possible to acquire gestures or movements that are totally beyond voluntary control and more muscular adjustments require extremely accurate? Research conducted in experimental psychology on motor learning and reported by DENIS KNIGHT & ELOI show that to imagine anyone running a movement accompanied by neuromuscular activity subliminal (detectable by electromyography) at muscles involved in performing this movement. One hypothesis advanced to explain the mental repetition of a gesture or movement promotes its effective implementation and improves performance is that this muscle activity would leave a trace of the movement that would be recorded and stored as an image kinesthetic and reused during execution of actual movement. One might assume that the acquisition of movements that are not under the control of voluntary control as is the case for the song, the engine program, activated by the mental representation of the movement to accomplish them could trigger it . If
song learning is so difficult is because you ignore the automation used in the word to learn new coordinations neuromuscular extremely complex, with no help visual or tactile, as is the case for learning other musical instruments. At this difficulty is added, the constant search for a delicate balance between the aesthetics of sound and intelligibility of the sung text. But it is precisely the ability to add lyrics to music that makes the human voice the most complete and most moving of all the instruments. Nicole Scotto di

ISSUANCE OF ACUTE
The issuance of the fever is a problem that faces every singer at one time or another of his studies or career. If a privileged few have natural highs, most singers spend years looking for them, others find them by chance. The literature is replete with lyrical elsewhere in "recipes" of all sorts that are transmitted from generation to generation singers to acquire or improve their highs and that is reflected not only the importance that it may have for them, but also confusion that reigns in minds. The advice given by teachers of singing are not likely to solve the issue since mean daily instructions such as "Lift your veil!", "Lower your sails!", "Open your mouth long!" Open your mouth wide! " "Your tongue should be flat," "Your tongue should be a dome", etc ...
A work in progress within the URA 261 reveals that the instructions given by teachers of singing, although seemingly contradictory, are actually quite consistent with the physiological reality.
The emission is accompanied by the acute effect of two types of physiological changes: those designed to facilitate the switch thyro-cricoid, which are common to all singers and those designed to give oral-pharyngeal cavity on its laryngeal, which will be different depending on the subject's vocal intensity.
The purpose of the first is, as we have said, to facilitate the switch earlier thyroid cartilage on the cricoid cartilage which has the effect of stretch, lengthen and thin the vocal cords, thereby will vibrate faster. The most important changes that can be observed for all types of voice when issuing a high note against a serious note, are the following: increased mouth opening, anticipation of the mass lingual standing of the hyoid bone, anterior tilting of the thyroid cartilage, posterior convexity of the curvature pharyngo-tracheal dilatation of the hypo-pharyngeal space, posteriorization pharynx and larynx, cervical spine posteriorization, reverse cervical curve (lordosis physiological giving way to a functional kyphosis).
The second type of physiological changes is intended to give the resonant cavities on his larynx. These changes will be different, even completely opposite depending on whether the singer will have a powerful voice or light:
* Among singers with powerful voices, one observes during the emission of high notes: a significant lowering of the block that lies between laryngeal the 6 and 7 cervical vertebrae (C6/C7) (whereas in the rest position, it is at C4/C5 for women and for men C5/C6), lifting the soft palate, a lowering of the tongue mass, a vertical lip opening, strong labialization (anterior projection of the lips).
All these physiological changes are what the singers and singing teachers call coverage sounds.
From acoustic point of view, lowering the larynx, associated with the lifting of the soft palate is to lengthen the vocal tract (ie the tube that goes from the vocal cords to the lips). On the other hand, the lowering of the lingual mass will increase the volume of the oral cavity, further enlarged by adding a labial resonator (due to the projection of the lips) and the shape of the lip opening, which will reinforce the low harmonics and give the corresponding sound a somber tone.
* Among singers with low volume, there for the issuance of the acute: a mild elevation of laryngeal block will be between C3 and C4, and lowering voltage cross of the soft palate elevation the post-dorsal part of the tongue, lip horizontal opening, a lateral stretching of the labial commissures.
On the acoustic level, the elevation of the larynx, associated with the lowering of the soft palate, the effect shorten the vocal tract. The elevation of the post-dorsal of the tongue will have to reduce the volume of the resonator mouth. Finally, by plating the lips against the dental arch, stretching side corners of the mouth will lead to removing the labial resonator, which, combined with a horizontal lip opening will further reduce the volume of the oral cavity. In this case, it is the high harmonics that will be strengthened. The vote will therefore have a clear tone.
techniques analyzed here represent only two extremes between which lie an infinity of intermediate technology.
In conclusion, can make sharp with a veil is lifted, a language platform, a vertical lip opening, a lip projecting large, if one has a powerful voice, with a veil is lowered, the raised back of the tongue, lip opening horizontal lip stretching important if one has a light voice.

mixed voice for the medium,
the head voice and falsetto for the high range. Why these appellations
chest voice and head voice?
Simply because of the location of what the singers call resonance. This is in fact internal sensitivities produced by the vibrations transmitted to the skeleton and larynx. These internal sensitivities are at the chest wall for the bass, giving the impression that the singer's voice it resonates in the chest and in the craniofacial bone for the treble, which gives the singer the illusion that her voice echoing in his head. < What is the function of internal sensitivities? They are very important in singing because they allow the singers to place their votes by providing benchmarks and means of controlling their emissions, more reliable than the auditory control that is subject to significant changes in function the room acoustics.
How is the acquisition of domestic sensitivities? It
by ear only that the teacher will guide the student and teach him to associate an auditory image an internal sensitivity. This practice is the conditioning of reflexes allows the student to acquire the memory or kinesthetic memory and muscle movement memory pallesthetic, that is to say, the memory location of the most intense vibrations which are all both indispensable to control the emission. As physio-pallesthetic memory is acquired, that is to say as auditory memory is the only one to be used, students are absolutely incapable of judging their own production as soon as the conditions under which they used to sing are modified and especially the acoustics of the room. This proves the importance of domestic sensitivities in self-control issue.
When the voice is well placed, it is not only pleasant to hear, but it has a scope which is reflected on the acoustic level by enhancing the harmonics in the region of 3000 Hz is what SUNDBERG called the Singing Formant and others before him had called the ring. This "ring" or "Singing Formant" is always present in a cultured voice regardless of the vowel used, the frequency or intensity of sound that allows the singer to escape the masking effect of the orchestra (including sound energy maximum is located around 450 Hz). Instruments like the trumpet or bugle that have far-reaching sound, have the same characteristic harmonics building around 3000 Hz Similarly, the rooster, which, as everyone knows, is very far, we found a peak of intensity around 3000 Hz Why this spectral region near 3000 Hz determines Does the scope of a sound? Simply because on the one hand, it is beyond the zone of maximum intensity of different sounds that make up our sound environment and secondly, it corresponds to the frequency band where the hearing is optimal. The ear, in fact, does not receive the same intensity as they sound the same are located in the bass or treble. The relationship between the physical intensity of sound and perceived loudness is extremely complex, we note only that the hearing sensitivity increases from 25 to 3000 Hz
To better understand the mechanisms used to amplify the singing voice without effort or fatigue, take a concrete example. If you vibrate a tuning fork next to a box whose resonant frequency is equal to the pitch, the sound of it, barely audible from outside, will be enhanced by the cavity resonance that is the case and will get along perfectly. It is this principle that we used to sing. If we replace the pitch by the vocal cords and the box by the oral-pharyngeal cavity, to emit a powerful enough without giving any effort, just to give the cavity resonance (ie the pharyngeal cavity and oral cavity) on the laryngeal sound by changing their shape and therefore volume. But when you sing the bass to treble, there comes a time when the resonant cavities are no longer in agreement with laryngeal sound and do not amplify more. We must therefore adjust the volume of the resonator pharyngo-buccal, the re-tuning to some extent on his larynx. That's what the singers make the call path. When properly executed, the transition between the registers is inaudible and the singer's voice is so perfectly uniform from one end to another of its range, which has led some authors to deny the existence of vocal registers. It is the passage of the medium in which the upper is more difficult for beginners. The two main defects that are commonly found, a lack of muscle tone which will consequently weaken and détimbrer of notes located in the vicinity of the transition, an exaggeration of the muscular contractions that will lead to the so-called tightening. In this case, the sounds are shrill or strident and vibrato too fast.
The vibrato of the singing voice is characterized by periodic variations in frequency and intensity which may be synchronous or antiphase. It follows a perfect balance between different muscle coordination necessary to the performance of vocal gesture, which explains why it is found only in the voices worked and that their operation has a faulty vocal impact on its quality. It deteriorates in case of misuse of the vocal apparatus and with age. The parameters are mainly affected the amplitude (ie the musical interval between the extremes of sound vibrated) and frequency (ie the number of frequency modulations per unit of time):
Regarding amplitude, the standard is between 1 / 4 and 3 / 4 / tone. Below 1 / 4 tone, the sound is dull, hard, unpleasant, over a tone, the sound is unstable: it is said that the voice moves.
For periodicity, the norm is between 5 and 7 times per second. Below 5, the voice quavers and above 7, there tremolo.
But besides this role of "barometer of vocal health", the vibrato has several functions:
he first denied an aesthetic function. A sound emitted without vibrato is indeed unpleasant to the ear because it seems hard, flat, dull, détimbré, expressionless.
vibrato can sing less fair: when its amplitude reaches a semitone, for example, this means that the singer has a margin of safety of a semitone within which it can allow for variations in height without the audience noticing. According
Leippe, vibrato can also sing very least: "We know that the fixed offers contribution that a particular nerve cell gets tired and becomes less and less effective. With vibrato, each one has time to recover (refractory period) and vibrated sound seems more intense than the same sound vibrated not for that reason. "
vibrato serves Finally, according Leipp, increase efficiency by allowing the voice vote to avoid the masking effect of the orchestra. "On a sonogram visually, which transposes reality as it is perceived, the instruments of the orchestra will appear as a line spectrum. The voice with vibrato emerges and detaches easily from the orchestral accompaniment. The vibrato makes it possible to increase the vocal performance at lower costs. "
Because it reflects a correct use of the vocal tract allows the vibrato singing teacher to diagnose certain faults in the students, especially those under the coordination between breathing and phonation.
Contrary to what one might think, the vocal performance (represented by the relative efficacy / fatigue) does not depend on the proper functioning of all three floors of the vocal apparatus (bellows lung, laryngeal vibrator, oral-pharyngeal resonator ), but the result of perfect coordination between these three levels. The coordination between breath and laryngeal function as Tarneaud called pneumo-phonic coordination will allow a very fine regulation of the subglottic pressure as a function of frequency and intensity of the sound, thus ensuring a supply laryngeal correct, while accommodation cavity resonance on the laryngeal called by phono-résonantiel Tarneaud agreement will be responsible for the quality of the sound, especially with regard to its tone and color.
to secure a student's completion of all neuromuscular coordination necessary for song learning, the teacher uses a variety metaphors which rarely coincide with the physiological reality but usually allow the young singer to understand what is expected of him. However, insofar as it has no way to act consciously on some elements of the vocal tract, such as the pharyngeal diameter, the position of the soft palate or the larynx, instructions such as: " Open your throat! "," Lift your veil! " or "Drop your larynx!" pose enormous problems for novice singer. Yet after a number of years of study, students will be perfectly capable of performing them. How is it possible to acquire gestures or movements that are totally beyond voluntary control and more muscular adjustments require extremely accurate? Research conducted in experimental psychology on motor learning and reported by DENIS KNIGHT & ELOI show that to imagine anyone running a movement accompanied by neuromuscular activity subliminal (detectable by electromyography) at muscles involved in performing this movement. One hypothesis advanced to explain the mental repetition of a gesture or movement promotes its effective implementation and improves performance is that this muscle activity would leave a trace of the movement that would be recorded and stored as an image kinesthetic and reused during execution of actual movement. One might assume that the acquisition of movements that are not under the control of voluntary control as is the case for the song, the engine program, activated by the mental representation of the movement to accomplish them could trigger it . If
song learning is so difficult is because you ignore the automation used in the word to learn new coordinations neuromuscular extremely complex, with no help visual or tactile, as is the case for learning other musical instruments. At this difficulty is added, the constant search for a delicate balance between the aesthetics of sound and intelligibility of the sung text. But it is precisely the ability to add lyrics to music that makes the human voice the most complete and most moving of all the instruments. Nicole Scotto di

ISSUANCE OF ACUTE
The issuance of the fever is a problem that faces every singer at one time or another of his studies or career. If a privileged few have natural highs, most singers spend years looking for them, others find them by chance. The literature is replete with lyrical elsewhere in "recipes" of all sorts that are transmitted from generation to generation singers to acquire or improve their highs and that is reflected not only the importance that it may have for them, but also confusion that reigns in minds. The advice given by teachers of singing are not likely to solve the issue since mean daily instructions such as "Lift your veil!", "Lower your sails!", "Open your mouth long!" Open your mouth wide! " "Your tongue should be flat," "Your tongue should be a dome", etc ...
A work in progress within the URA 261 reveals that the instructions given by teachers of singing, although seemingly contradictory, are actually quite consistent with the physiological reality.
The emission is accompanied by the acute effect of two types of physiological changes: those designed to facilitate the switch thyro-cricoid, which are common to all singers and those designed to give oral-pharyngeal cavity on its laryngeal, which will be different depending on the subject's vocal intensity.
The purpose of the first is, as we have said, to facilitate the switch earlier thyroid cartilage on the cricoid cartilage which has the effect of stretch, lengthen and thin the vocal cords, thereby will vibrate faster. The most important changes that can be observed for all types of voice when issuing a high note against a serious note, are the following: increased mouth opening, anticipation of the mass lingual standing of the hyoid bone, anterior tilting of the thyroid cartilage, posterior convexity of the curvature pharyngo-tracheal dilatation of the hypo-pharyngeal space, posteriorization pharynx and larynx, cervical spine posteriorization, reverse cervical curve (lordosis physiological giving way to a functional kyphosis).
The second type of physiological changes is intended to give the resonant cavities on his larynx. These changes will be different, even completely opposite depending on whether the singer will have a powerful voice or light:
* Among singers with powerful voices, one observes during the emission of high notes: a significant lowering of the block that lies between laryngeal the 6 and 7 cervical vertebrae (C6/C7) (whereas in the rest position, it is at C4/C5 for women and for men C5/C6), lifting the soft palate, a lowering of the tongue mass, a vertical lip opening, strong labialization (anterior projection of the lips).
All these physiological changes are what the singers and singing teachers call coverage sounds.
From acoustic point of view, lowering the larynx, associated with the lifting of the soft palate is to lengthen the vocal tract (ie the tube that goes from the vocal cords to the lips). On the other hand, the lowering of the lingual mass will increase the volume of the oral cavity, further enlarged by adding a labial resonator (due to the projection of the lips) and the shape of the lip opening, which will reinforce the low harmonics and give the corresponding sound a somber tone.
* Among singers with low volume, there for the issuance of the acute: a mild elevation of laryngeal block will be between C3 and C4, and lowering voltage cross of the soft palate elevation the post-dorsal part of the tongue, lip horizontal opening, a lateral stretching of the labial commissures.
On the acoustic level, the elevation of the larynx, associated with the lowering of the soft palate, the effect shorten the vocal tract. The elevation of the post-dorsal of the tongue will have to reduce the volume of the resonator mouth. Finally, by plating the lips against the dental arch, stretching side corners of the mouth will lead to removing the labial resonator, which, combined with a horizontal lip opening will further reduce the volume of the oral cavity. In this case, it is the high harmonics that will be strengthened. The vote will therefore have a clear tone.
techniques analyzed here represent only two extremes between which lie an infinity of intermediate technology.
In conclusion, can make sharp with a veil is lifted, a language platform, a vertical lip opening, a lip projecting large, if one has a powerful voice, with a veil is lowered, the raised back of the tongue, lip opening horizontal lip stretching important if one has a light voice.

The first great composer of operas was the Italian Claudio
Monteverdi
, 1642) applied the basics of opera, as defined by the Camerata. The opera quickly spread throughout Italy. The main center of opera in Italy in the mid to late seventeenth century
was Venice. The main Roman composers were Stefano Landi
was Venice. The main Roman composers were Stefano Landi
and Luigi Rossi . The main Venetian composers of that era were Monteverdi, Francesco Cavalli (1602-1676) and Antonio Cesti (1623-1669). In a coterie Florentine at the end of the sixteenth century few artists gathered around the patron Giovanni Bardi, in reaction against the excesses of polyphony the Renaissance , wanted to return to opera performances , imagined as being designed for the ancient classical Greco-Roman, with music that would highlight the text, not to make it incomprehensible complexity of the architecture of sound accompaniment. If Claudio Monteverdi is not the first composer
translate this program (The first opera, Dafne, was attributed to Jacopo Peri in 1597 to Count Bardi), it was he who brought the opera from its beginnings to a state of perfection that aroused the emulation of other musicians and favor public. The formula quickly spread throughout the Italian peninsula
, and we witnessed the creation of reputable local schools, for example
Venice (
Legrenzi, Venice (
, Vivaldi, etc.). and Naples ( A. Scarlatti, Nicola Porpora
, Vinci, Leo Jommelli etc..). The genus was adopted by the German musicians who stayed in Italy, while competing with the Italians themselves ( Handel, Hasse ) and then imported into other countries in Europe, with the notable exception of France. Indeed, the development of
bel canto ("beautiful singing" in Italian ) The Italian quickly replaced the desire for simplification and purification of the song which had presided over the creation of the genre. Hundreds of compounds by using the same books drawn from mythology, history or ancient epics, Italian operas of this time chained or almost melodic recitatives and da capo arias spoken allowing castrati and prima donnas to demonstrate their virtuosity. The gender split in opera buffa and opera seria, the most sought librettist Metastasio was . The nineteenth century Italian In
nineteenth century, Italian opera continued to give pride of place to the voice. Gioacchino Rossini composed the opera-buffa as The Barber of Seville (1816) and La Cenerentola (1817), which overshadowed his works more dramatic, as William Tell (1829). The bel canto style, characterized by the air flowing, expressive and often spectacular, also flourished in the works of Vincenzo Bellini which Norma (1831), La Sonnambula (1831) and I Puritani (1835), as well as in the operas of Gaetano Donizetti , Lucia di Lammermoor (1835), or in his comedies The Elixir of Love (1832) and Don Pasquale (1843). It must also talk about Domenico Cimarosa (1749-1801) who wrote The Marriage secret. Verdi Giuseppe Verdi .
The man who personified the Italian opera is Giuseppe Verdi undoubtedly : he has given his works a dramatic force and unparalleled rhythmic vitality. He composed many operas, including
Nabucco (1842), Ernani
(1844) Rigoletto (1851), Il Trovatore (The Troubadour, 1853), La Traviata (1853), Un ballo in maschera (A Masked Ball, 1859), La Forza del destino (The Force of Destiny, 1862) and Aida (1871), which combines the visual splendor of grand opera to musical subtleties of a tragic love story.

French Romanticism During the nineteenth century the romance flourished in France in Germany and Italy , and won the opera. Paris was then the home of "grand opera, combining entertainment with great effects, actions, ballet and music. Most of the operas in this style were written by composers foreigners living in France: The Vestal (1807) of and Lodoiska Gaspare Spontini (1791) by Luigi Cherubini , both Italians and Masaniello or La Muette de Portici (1828), of Daniel François-Esprit Auber (1782-1871). This style reached its apogee in the works of river
composer Giacomo Meyerbeer as Robert le Diable (1831) and Les Huguenots (1836). Faust (1859), Charles Gounod of , was one of the most popular French operas of the mid-nineteenth century and is always very now on view at the twenty-first century . The late nineteenth century French composer

He wrote forty operas in the Italian style during the 1720s - 1730, after which he turned to the oratorio . Mozart Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart also wrote operas, a small score at all if you count the "dramatic action" set to music. Mozart composed his first opera seria (serious work in

Fidelio (1805) of Ludwig van Beethoven . Carl Maria von Weber's romantic opera composed German Der Freischütz (1821) and operas equally incredible Euryanthe (1823) and Oberon (1826). German opera reached one of its summits with Richard Wagner who gave birth to what he called "music drama" in which the text (which he was the author), the partition and staging were inseparable. His early operas such as The Flying Dutchman (1843), Tannhäuser (1845) and Lohengrin (1850), preserved elements of the old style. His greatest works were Tristan and Isolde (1865), the four operas comprising the
Ring Cycle (1852 to 1874, includes Rheingold, Die Walküre , Siegfried and The Gotterdammerung ) The Meistersinger of Nuremberg (1868), where he described the medieval guilds, and Parsifal
(1882). Wagner's works make great use of leitmotif

Engelbert Humperdinck (1893), inspired by children's stories . The dominant figure was , musical term that identifies a person or an idea which came up regularly throughout the work.
The late nineteenth century German In Germany, the influence of Wagner continued in almost all operas, Hansel and Gretel into of
