Can somebody help me with a Music Assignment?
Q. I'm doing a music assignment on an instrument and its repertoire: The Voice. Can somebody help me find information to do an historical overview on it? My topic focus is the development of the voice in singing/singing styles.
A. The voice and its repertoire...
Do you mean voice in a classical context or just the VERY broad subject of Voice.
I know that Wikipedia is kind of a no no but It can provide at least good background information.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocal_music
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_type
In general vocal music is broken up into two categories solo and choral.
Choral music is perhaps the oldest (recorded) vocal music. There are songs from before the Renaissance period that are written for choirs.
During the Renaissance, most music written for voice was choral, much of it being Oratorio (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oratorio) which also had a lot of instrumentation and also solo voice. (Think Handels Messaih)
A good example of Renaissance vocal music is Gibbon's Madrigal the Silver Swan
I think this is on youtube??
As you move into the baroque period, more solo voice is seen. Opera was popularized..
Handel's Xerses

In Opera a new style began to emerge in the 17th and 18th centuries. It was similar to Baroque (with a focus on Ornamentation) but was much more "fancy," This period is known as the Bel Canto period, and is usually known for large focus on a beautiful sound rather than emotion, or drama. Composers like Rossini, Bellini and Donizetti are famous composers of such opera's
Listen To
Una Voce Poco Fa - From Rossinis "barber of Seville"
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=MGfj6BVFgWg
Casta Diva - From Bellini's Norma
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=MGfj6BVFgWg
In the late 18th century Bel Canto (which was primarily Italian) became less popular, and was replaced by Classical opera. This was often in German as it was poularized by Wagner.

Then came the romantic period... This was usually known for being dramatic and romantic... practically tragic.
Composers from this period that come to mind are Puccini, Leoncavallo and Bizet.
Then there is also contemporary opera.
Other Genres developed from the common people.
Like Gospel, Blues and eventually Jazz all originated from slaves.
I think that american contralto Marian Anderson provides a good explanation of "Negro Spirituals" in this video
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=d5bXkznc83g
They sang about what they were going through and then the other music came from there.
To see the difference between Jazz and Blues just research that briefly, it is quite obvious really.
Other contemporary Styles developed from these three.
Vocal development comes from training. This can take years particularly in opera.
Hope that helps
