Vocalise: Feb. 13

February 13, 2009 By Ian Sidden

This is a variation on the standard I IV I arpeggio vocalises by adding V 6/5 at the end.

Begin slowly and then try to move through these arpeggios at a brisk speed. When I was first starting to move quickly in vocalises, I would often cover my ears to help moving through passaggi. I could hear a “clunk” noise when I was clumsy.

Of course, the accompaniment is to your taste. I just give a simple line.

Enjoy!

Here’s one I’ve been looking forward to for awhile. Tonight at Opernhaus Dortmund, we’re premiering Frédegonde for the first time in Germany. It’s a work inspired from the early history of the Merovingians in what is now France and the ongoing feud between two of the queens, Brunhild and Frédegonde. The work was composed by […]
