  Three Women Opera Composers: A Musicological Interpretation of Ingeborg Von Bronsart, Ethel Smyth, and Thea Musgrave

  Melinda Boyd

  This book is intended to broaden our understanding of opera by investigating the contributions of selected women composers who successfully navigated educational, institutional and social restrictions, and traditions in order to bring their operas to the public theaters, where their lives, as well as their works, were subject to scrutiny and criticism of the musical press. Ingeborg von Bronsart (1840-1913), Ethel Smyth (1858-1944), and Thea Musgrave (b. 1928) all made distinguished contributions to their art, producing operas of considerable artistic merit that were admired by many of their contemporaries.

  Great Teachers on Great Singing

  Katherine Osborne and Scott McCoy

  Interviews with 14 of America's most successful singing teachers, including Penelope Bitzas, Joyce Farwell, Julia Faulkner, George Gibson, Ruth Golden, Robert Harrison, Stephen King, Patricia McCaffrey, Everett McCorvey, Heidi Grant Murphy, Bill Schuman, George Shirley, W. Stephen Smith, and Carol Vaness. I am delighted to introduce Great Teachers on Great Singing, by Robin Rice. The subtitle for this book might Interviews with some of the finest singing teachers in America, based on observations of their lessons. These master teachers present a broad range of technical approaches to vocal excellence and artistry, proving once again that there is more than one way to “skin the cat.” Rice’s book follows in the footsteps of Jerome Hines’ masterpiece, Great Singers on Great Singing (1982), but with a twist. Hines interviewed singers with whom he worked on the great opera stages of the world, and with medical experts who attended to their health. In the process, he revealed a huge diversity of opinions and techniques, along with some significant misconceptions about physiology and resonance maintained by the top echelon of professionals. By contrast, Rice explores the diverse techniques used by highly successful teachers—people who enable the beautiful singing we love to hear. -Scott McCoy, voice professor and editor-in-chief Sold directly by the publisher, Inside View Press -- Provided by publisher
