Vocalise: Descending Arpeggi

August 17, 2009 By Ian Sidden

Descending Arpeggi

This is an excellent vocalise for register balancing.

Begin at a middle dynamic like mezzo forte. Be careful to not add weight to your voice as you descend and ascend.  Try this at different tempos and with different vowels. Take this as high as is comfortable.

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 […]
