Singing has an important role in our life, and although synthesizers have been trying to replicate every musical instrument for decades, is was only during the last nine years that commercial singing synthesizers started to appear, allowing the ability to merge music and text, i.e., singing. These solutions may present realistic results on some situations, but they require time consuming processes and experienced users. The goal of this research work is to develop, create or adapt techniques that allow the resynthesis of the singing voice, i.e., allow the user to directly control a singing voice synthesizer using his/her own voice. The synthesizer should be able to replicate, as close as possible, the same melody, same phonetic sequence, and the same musical performance. Initially, some work was developed trying to resynthesize piano recordings with evolutionary approaches, using Genetic Algorithms, where a population of individuals (candidate solutions) representing a sequence of music notes evolved over time, tries to match an original audio stream. Later, the focus would return to the singing voice, exploring techniques as Hidden Markov Models, Neural Network Self Organized Maps, among others. Finally, a Concatenative Unit Selection approach was chosen as the core of a singing voice resynthesis system. By extracting energy, pitch and phonetic information (MFCC, LPC), and using it within a phonetic similarity Viterbi-based Unit Selection System, a sequence of internal sound library frames is chosen to replicate the original audio performance. Although audio artifacts still exist, preventing its use on professional applications, the concept of a new audio tool was created, that presents high potential for future work, not only in singing voice, but in other musical or speech domains.

This dissertation had the kind support of FCT (Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology, an agency of the Portuguese Ministry for Science, Technology and Higher Education) under grant SFRH / BD / 30300 / 2006, and has been articulated with research project PTDC/SAU-BEB/104995/2008 (Assistive Real-Time Technology in Singing) whose objectives include the development of interactive technologies helping the teaching and learning of singing.

▼ The objective of this study was to examine a group vocalization program consisting of vocal exercises and choral singing designed to improve the voices of people with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (IPD). A single group pretest-posttest research design was used. A total of 28 people with IPD participated in the study. Half (n=14) participated in an intervention program in the spring of 2010, and the other half participated in the fall of the same year. The intervention program was six weeks long. Two groups of 7 participants each attended one 90-minute session per week, and the two groups came together at the end of every week for another 90-minute session. Each session included vocal warm-up, vocal exercises, singing exercises, choral speech, and choral singing with piano accompaniment. Participants were provided with video and audio files of songs and exercises to facilitate daily vocal practice. Speech-Language Pathologists not involved with treatment gathered acoustic and perceptual data on participants’ voices pre- and post-treatment, while another Speech-Language Pathologist with experience and training in both singing technique and voice therapy provided treatment. Participants were tested for pre-/post-treatment changes in “vocal ability” (nine acoustic/timing measures and two SLP-rated perceptual measures) and “vocal quality of life” (two participant-rated measures) for a total of 13 dependent variables. Statistically significant changes at the .004 level of significance (a correction for the number of variables employed) were found in two of the eleven measures of “vocal ability” (average frequency during an oral reading task and maximum intensity range) and in one of the two measures of “vocal quality of life” (the Speech Intelligibility Inventory: Self Assessment Form). Three of the eleven measures of “vocal ability” were found to be clinically relevant changes (maximum intensity range, maximum frequency range, and fundamental frequency variation during oral reading). Changes in scores on both questionnaires used to measure “vocal quality of life” were also found to be clinically relevant. In sum, three of thirteen measures showed statistically significant changes and five of the thirteen showed clinically relevant changes. While modest, these results indicate that participants experienced some improvement in their vocal ability and in vocal quality of life following participation in this group intervention. Measures that exhibited positive trends merit further investigation.

▼ Research continuously acknowledges mindfulness—the practice of purposefully, nonjudgmentally paying attention in the present moment —as a technique to reduce anxiety, improve attention and working memory, and overall enhance physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. While the college years are often tumultuous, mindfulness can be a viable means of reducing student anxiety while enhancing one’s learning experience, particularly for the highly demanding lifestyles of music students. Musicians who undergo mindfulness training have reported reduced performance anxiety, increased performance quality, more focused practices, and improved positive affect, among other published results. Mindfulness may be especially beneficial for musicians who are singers, who require heightened physical awareness and psychological resilience to perform successfully. Despite these advantages, few institutions regularly offer courses or training in mindfulness or related mental performance skills. Private voice teachers have an opportunity to bridge this gap in their studios. This essay presents a case study that incorporated formal mindfulness practice into the voice lessons of three music majors. The purpose of this study was to investigate if mindfulness enhanced the students’ experience of learning vocal technique, as well as if it reduced students’ general anxiety. The results were gathered using both quantitative scales and open-ended interviews, and they suggested that mindfulness did reduce general anxiety and enhance students’ learning experience, particularly by improving focus and stress management coping skills. Some results suggest that mindfulness was particularly beneficial for learning vocal technique, but further research is needed to form a strong conclusion. Overall, this study can be used as a model for voice teachers who wish to proactively address aspects of mental performance with their students.

▼ Maria Callas’s fame as an opera star in the 1950s is still recognised today, and, for many, her name is synonymous with the modern concept of the opera ‘diva’. The increasing diversity of mediatised forms of operatic performances since her time has altered the way audiences engage with the art form. This has implications for singers in terms of values around vocality, authorship and power, and, in particular, the agency of singers in creating the meaningful, affective, and distinctively personal vocal tone that opera calls for. I suggest that for “divas” as defined by twentieth- and twenty-first century global stardom, power is amassed at least in part through particular ways in which they make use of their vocality or vocal timbre, and the way they manage their voices’ presentation in the mediatised versions of their performances. The recent turn towards a performative focus in musicology encourages the investigation of such aspects of performance. While authorship remains central in the consideration of performance, the contribution of the singer to the authorial and creative process has tended to be ignored, and at times the singer’s work has been regarded as servile to the point of nullification. A critical examination of scholarly writings around operatic performance, with reference to those of diva, voice, and stardom studies, forms the foundation of my study. In case studies of Callas and two later divas, Kiri Te Kanawa and Anna Netrebko, I examine the individual vocality of each singer, their interaction with the forms of mediatisation of their time, their position in the continuum of vocal fashion and influence, and the function of all of these factors in relation to perceptions of creative agency. My study investigates these issues from the standpoint of a singer, and it provides insights into the singer’s processes around the creation of vocality. It offers a new perspective through a fine-tuned analysis of vocal production, which reconnects perceptions of specific timbres with explicitly defined techniques for their production. Through this dissertation I show how signature vocality works: how it is created and managed by these divas, and how the mediatisation of vocality affects perceptions of their power as performers.

▼ Singers within the operatic world are expected to conform to the strict limits and dictates of the Fachsystem. Casting directors and opera companies prefer to be informed of which particular ‘Fach-box’ you tick when auditioning and it is becoming increasingly important for career advancement and name recognition to remain within that box. Yet what happens when your voice does not operate strictly within the predetermined requirements of a particular box? Or if the vocal category you supposedly assume is already ambiguous and contentious? Jennifer Allen’s DMA thesis, An Analysis and Discussion of Zwischenfach Voices, provides invaluable critical insight surrounding this enigmatic concept of voice categorisation. Allen argues that despite advances within vocal pedagogy, there remains a ‘gray area’ within the discussion. This elusiveness, to which Allen refers, pertains directly to the Zwischenfach voice type. Translated literally from German, the word Zwischen means ‘between’ and ‘Fach’ refers specifically to vocal specialisation as a way of categorising singers according to the weight, range and colour of their voices. Thus, in its most basic form, a Zwischenfach voice denotes a voice that lies between the vocal categories of soprano and mezzo-soprano. However, whilst Dr Rudolf Kloiber’s Handbuch der Oper (a staple for the operatic world) provides a definitive guide to vocal categorisation and continues to influence casting throughout Germany and Europe, the corresponding American Boldrey Guide acknowledges Zwischenfach as a voice that cannot be classified precisely in one particular Fach or another. This lack of uniform approach highlights not only the potential flexibility of this voice, but also the paradoxical nature of attempting to define a voice that defies standard classification. Indeed, as a young singer currently singing high mezzo-soprano repertoire, I have found the Zwischenfach labelling to be a paradox, for the upper extension of my voice also enables me potentially to sing some soprano roles. Therefore, is it conceivable to postulate that this term is a misnomer and merely highlights the issues associated with being constrained within the Fachsystem? In order to come to terms with these issues, then, my analysis of Zwischenfach labelling requires a separation of voice categorisation and the Fachsystem and an ongoing critique of these systems throughout my exegesis. In an attempt to determine its practicalities, the limits that it can impose, and how its boundaries have not always functioned so neatly, my critique focuses on elements such as convenience, marketability and professional development and life. An exploration of the relevance of aspects such as range, tessitura, passaggi, timbre, agility, physical characteristics, pitch of the speaking voice, and scientific tests is also necessary. Once a definition of Zwischenfach is established, I consider the “in between” nature of this vocal category as I investigate roles that develop out of this into the realm of the heavier, more dramatic voice.…

▼ The purpose of this study was to examine the potential usefulness of spectrographic a nalysis technology for the training of female singers in a college voice studio. Spec ifically, the following questions guided the study: (1) What information can be satis factorily delivered through the study of spectrographic wave files? (2) Will subjecti ve data, including the teacher's evaluation and subjects' self-evaluation of their pe rformance in the vocal studio, be consistent with the objective data from the spectro graphic wave files? (3) Will the subjects find the use of the spectrograph helpful? ( 4) Will the use of spectrographic technology prove to be compatible with traditional teaching techniques? | Subjects were 10 students, ranging from ages 18-23, assigned to the investigator's vo ice studio at a small private women's college. Data collection took place during 10 s equential weekly lessons. After the warm-up segment of the lesson, students repeated three sequences of the same vocalise in ascending keys. A wave file recording was mad e of the third (highest) repetition. After recording the wave file, each subject comp leted a Likert-type questionnaire regarding her perception of the usefulness of the s pectrograph. The teacher completed a comparable questionnaire | The findings were reported via graph analysis and case studies of each student. Analy ses of the findings indicated that: (1) A rich variety of information may be gleaned from wave files. This information includes, but is not limited to, the strength of up per and lower level frequencies and the presence of vibrato, glottal attacks, uneven breath, and diction problems. (2) The spectrographic data were consistent with the in structor's overall assessment of each subject, but little consistency was observed be tween that data and the instructor's or the subjects' assessment of their weekly or l ong-term progress; (3) The subjects found the spectrograph helpful, and appreciated i ts ability to provide a visual picture of vocal strenghths and weaknesses; (4) The us e of the spectrograph is compatible with traditional voice teaching techniques

▼ This dissertation presents a critical study of voice teaching method as this pertains to the high school learner studying voice within the South African educational environment, with learning outcomes determined for subject music within the GET (General Education and Training) and FET (Further Education and Training) bands of the Department of Basic Education at each school grade level, as well as by external examining bodies such as Unisa (University of South Africa), Trinity Guildhall and ABRSM (Amalgamated Board of the Royal Schools of Music). Emphasis is placed on the methodological principles applicable in the case of the Western classical music solo vocal repertoire, but reference is also made to the applicability of this method in other vocal genres and, in particular, in the case of choral music participation. Special attention is given to the subject of the vocal health of the developing teenage voice, which includes an overview of vocal disorders and suggestions for rehabilitation and remedial programmes where necessary. Triangulation of research results is achieved in this study through inclusion of: - A thorough survey of selected pertinent bibliographic sources - Description of and engagement with the researcher’s own numerous phenomenological encounters in this field - Interviews conducted in Port Elizabeth with Jill Nock, voice teacher, on the subject of voice teaching method, and with John Black, Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist, on the subject of vocal health. The researcher concludes that there is a need for continued education and training of music educators in the South African high school environment, many of whom are not trained voice specialists, in order to cater for the growing number of high school music learners who choose to specialise in voice. Although educator networking can go a long way towards creating an informal support system to address this need, it is ultimately the responsibility of the Department of Basic Education to address this in a formal and all-encompassing fashion.

▼ The intent of this study is to attempt to create new scientific criteria for the evaluation of choral literature for senescent singers, The first criterion developed for selection of age-appropriate choral literature was a measurement for voice quality registration called phonetography. Phonetography is the registration of the dynamic range of a voice as a function of fundamental frequency. Manual phonetograms on twenty young adult singers and twenty senescent singers were developed to determine individual frequency-by-intensity relationships of the senescent voice. The graph that was created when all points of minimum and maximum sound pressure levels are connected, thus enclosing the subject's total phonation area, was the singer's phonetogram. Three choral adjudicators were present at the phonetogram testing to determine which pitch levels and dynamic ranges were acceptable for healthy choral singing in each subject. Gelfer acoustic-perceptual rating scales were completed by the choral adjudicators on each phonetogram test subject. Adjectives utilized most frequently by speech pathologists, singers, otolaryngologists, and untrained listeners were codified and confidence ratings were made by each of the four groups who were polled. Appropriate opposites for the selected descriptors were chosen. The Gelfer test results were consistent with phonetogram findings. Criteria for age-appropriate choral literature were proposed from phonetogram data and the Gelfer acoustic-perceptual analyses. The four pieces which were selected as age-appropriate were analyzed by tessiturometry as a final criteria of suitability for aging singers. The tessiturogram is a graphic analysis of the frequency of note occurrence within a composition. Lower tessituras and limited ranges were recommended for aging singers. Choral selections with long phrases, rapid melismatic passages, wide unprepared leaps, and sustained singing should be avoided. High, soft singing for older female singers is not suggested. Rhythmic, homophonic works are recommended for successful performance. Instrumental accompaniments are beneficial in reinforcing the older singers' intonation.

Syftet med min undersökning har varit att öka förståelsen och kunskapen kring barnrösten och dess begränsade röstomfång genom att kartlägga de läromedel, bestående av utgivna barnmusikmaterial, som används på ett urval förskolor. Utifrån barnröstens förutsättningar har jag både översiktligt och mer ingående studerat musikexempel från barnskivor och dess anpassning till barnens eget röstläge. Förskolor har via webbenkät medverkat och angivit de skivor som de själva använder sig av. Efter datainsamling och bearbetning har jag först gjort en översiktlig analys av 866 barnvisor och därefter har jag gjort en mer ingående granskning över ett urval, som visar på varierande aspekter, problematik och förutsättningar gentemot barnrösten. Detta illustreras av ett pianodiagram där jag visar sångernas omfång och röstläge. Min studie visar att färre än hälften av de tillfrågade förskolorna använder inspelade barnskivor under sångstunden. Den visar också att det finns många musikläromedel som inte är anpassade till barnrösten och att det är svårt att, utan träning eller speciell kunskap, själv avgöra om läromedlet är anpassat eller inte.

The purpose of my study was to increase knowledge and understanding about children’s voices and their limited vocal range by mapping the learning material, consisting of published children's music materials used in a variety of preschools. Based on the children's vocal potential, I have done both an overview and a detailed study of music examples from children's records and their adaptations to the children's own voices. Preschools have participated by entering the discs that they themselves use in a web form. After the data collection and processing, I have done a general analysis of 866 children's songs. After that I made a detailed review of samples, demonstrating various aspects, problems and opportunities in relation to the child’s voice. This is illustrated by a kind of piano chart where I show the melodic range of the songs. My study shows that fewer than half surveyed preschools are using recorded discs during music time. It also shows that there are many music teaching materials that are not adapted to children's voices and that it is difficult, without training or special knowledge, to know whether the teaching material is adapted or not. Songs with a small or medium size melodic range are the best alternatives, as it is easier to find a common key between the child and the adult.

Music Therapy

The purpose of this study was to investigate North American professional music therapists' perceptions and use of singing voice assessment. The focus was on a general population of music therapists who may or may not specialize in the use of singing as a clinical instrument. The researcher designed an online survey to gather music therapists' perceptions about the frequency with which they use singing voice assessment with clients, the singing voice parameters they assess and the clinical interpretations they make. Participants' demographic information was gathered and analyzed according to their responses. It was expected that these therapists would vary in their training and education, singing background and clinical context. Three hundred and thirty-five North American music therapists with a music therapist-accredited (MTA) or music therapist-board-certified (MT-BC) designation participated in the study, for an overall response rate of 13.9%. Results were analyzed using frequencies, proportions indicating association with Wilson Confidence Limits, Logistic Regression Models, Firth's Estimation, Tukey-Kramer adjusted-p levels and 95% confidence limits. Results indicated that a majority of participants assessed client singing at the beginning of therapy and periodically or regularly afterwards, paying attention to singing voice parameters of breathing and breath-support, freedom versus tension, vocal range, vocal tone quality, and/or pitch control. Results also indicated that a majority of participants used one or more of these parameters as a basis for interpretations about affect, personality characteristics, internal psychological processes, developmental stage, and/or psychopathological states. There were statistically-significant associations between therapists' primary clinical population and frequency of singing voice assessment performed; therapists' primary clinical population and singing voice parameters assessed; and therapists' primary theoretical orientation and singing voice parameters assessed. Results of this study suggest that music therapists in this sample were assessing and interpreting client singing even if some of these therapists had no specialized advanced training in the clinical assessment and interpretation of singing. Furthermore, it appears that music therapists in this study were paying attention to the same kinds of vocal parameters and made the same kinds of clinical interpretations as those featured in the clinical literature. Finally, it appears that voice assessment is not associated with a particular population. Future research should explore the impact of a client and therapist's background with singing on the clinical singing voice assessment. Future research should also explore the role singing voice assessment may play in different clinical contexts and the differential meanings that may be gleaned in these different contexts. There is also evidence within to support future development and validation of a vocal assessment tool.

Music Performance

D.M.A.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the female hormonal cycle throughout a woman's life and its effects on the singing voice. Dealing with vocal issues brought on by hormonal fluctuations can be extremely frustrating for the professional singer, as these issues can wreak havoc on performance and practice schedules. The best weapon of defense against its unpredictability is information. Unfortunately, data on the female hormonal cycle and its effects on the voice is not covered in most standard vocal pedagogy books. Information on the subject is often relegated to a small section of a chapter, and even then usually describes only the symptoms: edema, hoarseness, and loss of high notes and power. The question as to why these symptoms happen every month and during menopause, and whether there is anything that can be done to alleviate them, remains largely unanswered. A candid discourse on the subject of hormones and the female voice has begun, but now must brought into the open. It is a subject that needs to be broached in voice studios everywhere. Can the effects of hormonal fluctuations on the voice be managed? What treatments are there for the symptoms; are they safe; are they effective? How can we further the dissemination of information on this subject? This paper will attempt to answer these questions by compiling data from the studies and research of esteemed doctors and scientists on this subject into one document, making it easy for young students and interested voice teachers to access this important information. It is my goal with this monograph to help and inform my readers. The human larynx is directly influenced by lifelong cyclical hormonal fluctuations. A woman's monthly cycle, which lasts from puberty to menopause, causes changes in hormone concentrations. These changes can affect a woman's physical and emotional states, causing bloating, and temporary abnormalities in sleep, mood, concentration levels, and energy. These effects are also seen in the vocal tract, where edema, vocal fatigue, decreased range, and lowering of the fundamental frequency can occur. The monthly symptoms of hormonal change are called premenstrual syndrome, or PMS. Similarly, the symptoms manifested in the larynx are called premenstrual vocal syndrome, or PMVS. This paper is an examination and exploration of the effects of PMS and PMVS on the singing voice. To do so, it provides a brief overview of the steroid hormones: estrogen, progestogen, and androgen. These three hormones are responsible for the development and maturation of primary and secondary sexual characteristics. It is only through studying the specific functions of each of the steroid hormones that it is made clear why some women suffer so profoundly each month from PMS and PMVS. Additionally, this paper provides information regarding the benefits and drawbacks of oral contraceptives, or OCPs. OCPs contain synthetic hormones that mimic the body's own natural hormones, and they regulate the body's levels of estrogen and progesterone,…

Objetivo: Analisar as características da voz falada de mulheres idosas com prática de canto coral. Métodos: Fizeram parte deste estudo 75 idosas de 63 a 82 anos, sendo 50 participantes de corais de terceira idade (grupo de coristas GC) e 25 participantes de atividades que não envolvessem o uso da voz cantada (grupo de não coristas GNC). Os grupos foram pareados quanto à idade, com média de 71 anos (desvio padrão de 5,22). Para caracterização das idosas, foi aplicado um questionário com perguntas sobre dados sociodemográficos (idade, atividade profissional realizada anteriormente e atualmente), hábitos de vida e referentes ao bem estar vocal (hidratação, prática de atividades físicas, etilismo, tossir, pigarrear, falar alto e gritar) e aspectos vocais (dificuldades, cansaço e modificação ao longo do tempo), além da solicitação para definir a própria voz em uma palavra. Em especial para o GC, foram apresentadas ainda perguntas referentes ao tempo que canta, às horas de prática semanal e às dificuldades percebidas. A seguir, foi coletada dos dois grupos a amostra de fala (emissão da vogal /a/ sustentada, repetições de sentenças e um trecho de fala espontânea), que foram avaliadas por três fonoaudiólogas com experiência na área de voz pelo instrumento de análise perceptivo-auditiva denominado CAPE-V. Foram utilizados os resultados apontados pela juíza que apresentou maior concordância entre as respostas. Resultados: 90% das idosas coristas e 88% das não coristas relataram ter exercido profissões no passado e 24% de ambos os grupos ainda as realizam. Especificamente para o GC, o tempo de participação em coros variou entre cinco anos e oito meses a 58 anos (dp=8,7), com média de prática semanal de três horas e meia, variando entre duas e dez horas (dp=1,9) e 16% delas referiram dificuldades em relação à prática do canto. Quanto aos hábitos, apresentaram diferença significativa na comparação dos grupos a ingestão de água e a prática de atividades físicas, em maior número para o GC. Não foram observadas diferenças nos aspectos vocais e na percepção de modificação ao longo do tempo. Na definição da própria voz em uma palavra o termo grave foi significativamente mais referido pelo grupo de coristas. Na análise perceptivo-auditiva, o GNC apresentou diferenças significativas nos escores relacionados a alteração do grau geral e presença de rugosidade e tensão. Conclusão: A análise das características da voz falada de idosas com prática de canto coral, quando comparada àquelas que não a realizam, apontou para melhor qualidade vocal no aspecto geral, em decorrência de menor grau de rugosidade e tensão. Na caracterização dos sujeitos, o registro de hábitos de maior consumo de água e prática de atividade física diferenciou os grupos, a favor das idosas coristas.

Previous experiments have shown that voice pitch (the perception of fundamental frequency and/or corresponding harmonics) is positively associated with women’s voice attractiveness, however all of this research is on women’s speaking voices. Singing is important for the mating success of non-human animals, is cross-culturally universal in humans, and is highly sexualized in many cultures. Thus, singing could contribute to mating success and attraction in humans. First, we investigated whether previous findings, that high voice pitch when speaking predicts women’s voice attractiveness, extend to when women sing. We also examined whether pitch- and rhythm accuracy contribute to women’s singing voice attractiveness. Voice pitch was positively related to women’s singing voice attractiveness as judged by men more than when judged by women, and speaking voice attractiveness was positively related to singing voice attractiveness. Thus, men and women may be reacting to the same indicator of women’s underlying quality (i.e. voice pitch) in both women’s speaking and singing voices, differently. Men may be attracted to high pitch, whereas women may show a weaker relationship, as they tend to be more romantically jealous of women with high pitched voices. Pitch- and rhythm accuracy did not predict women’s singing voice attractiveness. This result can be interpreted in different ways. It could mean that women’s voice pitch may be more important in determining men’s perceptions of their singing voice attractiveness than is their singing ability, or our measures were ill suited to the task. Collectively, these results are the first to show that singing voices are more attractive than speaking voices, people with attractive speaking voices tend to have attractive singing voices, and that singing and speaking voices relate to the same underlying qualities. Thus, singing may be an indicator of mate value and could have played a role in the evolution of sex differences in the voice if our ancestors had similar preferences.

Low male voice classical singers (LMVs) are a statistical rarity (R. Miller 2008). Their relative scarcity notwithstanding, the research undertaken in this thesis shows that LMV-specific voice pedagogy resources do exist, including a rich body of Russian vocal literature suitable for the LMV. This thesis positions singing in Russian as beneficial for LMV classical training by examining how secondary palatalization and the presence of the [i] vowel in sung Russian promote a fronted tongue, and how the prevalence of its default dark-a allophone [ɑ] facilitates a low, stable larynx. Both of these vocal tract configurations are hallmarks of fine classical singing technique (Bozeman 2013). To measure how much of net phonation time is spent singing in these corresponding vocal tract configurations, I operationalized Musorgsky’s Sunless and Kabalevsky’s Op. 52 Ten Shakespeare Sonnets on Translations by Marshak using an enhanced version of Pacheco’s Graphic-Statistic Method (Pacheco 2013). The resulting data were overlaid with values reflective of resonances of the LMV vocal tract to show where acoustic ‘pitches of turning’ fall in this repertoire (D. Miller 2000; Godin and Howell 2015). I found that the fR1/fo interaction so important to treble voices singing in ‘whoop’ coupling is largely irrelevant to LMVs. Instead, it appears that LMV vocal acoustic concerns mostly involve developing an awareness of the fR1/2fo interaction an octave lower that marks the transition between singing in open and close timbre; this is the primary acoustic registration event of male voices (Bozeman 2013). From an acoustics perspective, being able to identify where a given voice should appropriately ‘turn over’ is an important pedagogic diagnostic ability that normalizes how an unforced, well-coordinated timbral transition sounds and feels. I created newly annotated vocal scores for these two song cycles to make it easy to identify open and close timbre and other acoustic turning events at a glance. Considering these cycles with the analytical methods offered here equips teachers with another way to inform appropriate LMV repertoire selection. Future scholars may use this approach to investigate other voice types and national repertoires.
