Summary of This Method
This collection of vocalises is aimed at tenors wishing to sharpen their technique and presence, going beyond traditional vocal exercises. The goal is clear: to gain agility, control, and endurance while maintaining a lively vocal line and expressive diction. The vocalises explore speed and rhythmic precision as well as sound sustain (tenuti), breath management, and dynamic subtlety, with constant attention to "in-mouth" text articulation and the placement of the lips in the acoustics.
The rhythmic dimension is particularly emphasized: it trains the singer to superimpose a stable internal pulse onto the execution of a demanding melody and to integrate the text as the driving force of the vocal gesture. The workbook also gives significant space to contemporary techniques and colors: glissandi, slanci, quarter tones, clusters or arpeggios, breathy sounds, rauco, lip noises, tongue clicks, glottal vibrato, as well as various breaths and "sound-noises" serving the dramaturgy. About twenty vocal effects and their specific indications invite precise reading while leaving the singer room for ad libitum imagination.
To enrich interpretation, texts taken from arias of classic operas (Carmen, Florestan, Méphistophélès, The Queen of the Night, Sarastro, Erda, etc.) are deliberately "displaced" toward vocal and stylistic treatments that highlight virtuosity. The whole is conceived as a bridge between the lyrical repertoire and contemporary language, with three languages (Italian, German, French), 6 vocalises with piano accompaniment, and 4 for solo voice, notably addressing the worlds of the tenor buffo, tenor di grazia, and helden tenor.
