Abstract

For an untold number of years thf) vocalise has had an integral place in many of the

methods used for the training and development of singers. Commonly referred to and used as

''warm-ups'' in the choral rehearsal, vocalises are considered by many conductors to have a

usefulness that surpasses that of simply preparing voices for the singing which is immediately at

hand.

It remains a tendency in many cases, however, for vocalises to be used in an

indiscriminate fashion without a clear understanding of the purposes of the vocalises used

and/or using a method of presentation of vocal exercises that can diminish their usefulness or

perhaps even have detrimental effects on the singers. A common additional plight facing many

choral conductors seems to be the lack of availability of practical, printed resourses for choral

vocalization. Conductors can feel forced to rely only on exercises passed on to them by

colleagues or by their own teachers. Either because of this lack of understanding of purpose or

because of a lack of knowledge of vocalise repertoire, or both, a conductor might choose to limit

or avoid entirely the use of vocal exercises in the choral rehearsal, depriving the conductor and

the singers of what is perhaps one of the best tools for vocal development and conditioning.

This study attempts to contribute toward the alleviation of the problems mentioned

above. The study provides an extended collection of vocalises arranged with optional piano

accompaniments by the author for use in the choral rehearsal, including original exercises, as well

as those borrowed from colleagues in the solo and choral music fields and from selected printed

sources. In addition, through a review of the writings of noted authorities in the field of voice

education, the study discusses the usefulness of vocalises in the development of specific

elements of good singing, with reference to the vocalises contained in the collection. Included

in this discussion is a determination, based on these writings, of certain principles for the

effective use of vocalises in the choral rehearsal. Rnally, this study provides a selected list of

known, available resource material that specifically contains vocalises for choir.

Introduction

Need for the Study_ Upon examination of published books and articles by noted choral

conductors and studio voice teachers, it is apparent that many, if not a majority of vocal music

educators place a high value on the use of vocalises as an integral component of their

instruction. In addition to the function that vocalises have as a means of warming up the voice for

the rehearsal or performance of repertoire, teachers also place great worth on the role that vocal

exercises can play in the physical conditioning of the voice, in the establishment and

development of the fundamental concepts of singing, and in the mastery of the most advanced

vocal techniques.

To this point in time, howevei, it would seem that resources for choral vocaiization are not

abundantly available, and that those resources which do exist vary in terms of their degree of

practical value. Articles on vocalization for choirs often present only a few, if any, actual

exercises. Much 01 the material that is available for use in the private voice studio is in the form of

extended vocal etudes and therefore does not often suit the purposes of the choral conductor.

Choral conductors may also be unaware of those materials of this type which are more adaptable

to the choral situation.

Purpose of the Study. The purpose of this study was threefold. It was first of all

intended to contribute toward an answer to the need for vocalise repertoire by providing an

extended collection of vocalises arranged with optional piano accompaniments for use in the

choral rehearsal, including original exercises, as well as those borrowed from colleagues in the

solo and choral music fields and from selected printed sources.
8

Secondly it was the intent of this study to survey the writings of noted vOice teachers and

choral conductors on the usefulness of vocalises in the development of specific elements of

good singing, with reference to the vocalises contained in the collection.

Finally, it was also the intent of this study to provide a selected listing of known, available

resource material that specifically contains vocalises for "hoir.

Limitations. The study was limited primarily to a discussion of vocalises alone and their

function as a means for the development of basic vocal technique, ~s a means of warm-up, and

as a means to prepare for the perlormance of literature. The study therefore does not deal in any

detailed fashion with other specific issues related to the voice such as the changing voice or the

physiology of the voice. Other important elements which often make up portions of choral warm-

up activities and which should be considered of no less value are also not addressed in detail in

this discussion. These include physical stretching and limbering exercises, posture, sight-

singing, ear training, and rhythmic training.

The Value of Vocalises for Use In the Choral Rehearsal

Based on the recommendations of noted authorities, the vocalises contained in this

study are intended to serve choral conductors and singers in three p~mary ways: 1) as a means

of conditioning and training the voice in the basic skills of vocal technique, 2) as a means of

warming up the voice for daily use, and 3) as a means of preparation for the performance of

literature.

\localises as a Means of Conditioning and Tra 1ning the voice in the Basic Skills of Vocal

Technique. The use of vocalises dates from the early 19th century when collections of vocalises

with piano accompaniment began to be performed and publishecl-one of the first being

Domenico Corri's The Singer's Preceptor of 1810. 1 With the advent of these publications also

began a controversy that has continued until the present day concerning the value of vocalises

for the singer. The predominant school of thought for the past two centuries has maintained that

vocalises are not only useful but essential for the development of singing technique. The most

extreme opinion in favor of this view-one held by many 19th and early 20th century singers and

teachers-is that a student should not even attempt to sing literature until his or her technique

has achieved a certain level of mastery. The great tenor, Giovanni Martinelli believed that "during

the first year, the practicing must be limited solely to intensive vocalizing.,,2 J. J. Freeman calls

the desire to sing songs "the biggest mistake of the young singer:,3 The point is argued in

dramatic fashion by Pasqual Mario Marafioti in his book of 1922, where he states, "When I told the

maestro I wanted to learn a song he smiled and said, 'Your father is a surgeon. Ask him if, after a

few days of study, he thought he could learn to perform an operation:,04

An opposing viewpoint which is frequently referred to as the "song approach" and which

has gained much more prevalence in recent decades is ihat vocal technique can be developed

most effectively and perhaps in the most aesthetically satisfying mannel' primarily through the

study of repertoire. Proponents of this viewpoint tend to feel that the exclusion of repertoire for

the beginning singer in favor of vocalises alone can have detrimental motivational effects on the

sludent due to an absence of the aesthetic rewards which they feel are inherent in the singing of

songs at any stage of development. Many of these same teachers also express the belief that

technical problems are best dealt with as they arise in the singing of a song. In defence of these

ideas James Mursell and Mabelle Glenn, in a report on their psychological study of music

teaching, state, "Drill [by rote] has an extremely minor place in voice building .... We should

develop the voice in and through actual song material. ... [This] is the best and most central

means of voice building:05 John Patton and Mabel Rauch make the point simply: "The right kind

of music will educate the voice."S

Despite the influence of the song approach on the field of vocal training, proponents of

systematic vocalization for the development of vocal technique still abound to the present day.

Vocalises have seemingly stood the test of time and their value remains widely recognized by

studio voice teachers, choral conductors and singers. Evidence exists that even today, some

voice teachers and authors still continue to consider the use of vocalises a prerequisite to the

study of song literature. Richard Harpster, in his 1984 publication Technique in Singing warns

against "the sly temptation of tasting the sweets of the singing art before digesting the staples of

the singing technique."7 Apparently because of the effects of the song approach, however, this

type of sole reliance on vocalises for the beginning singer seems to be much less common than

it once was. The viewpoint that now appears to be the most widely accepted by both studio

voice teachers and choral conductors is essentially in agreement with the opinion expressed by

Van Christy who recognizes the need for the use of vocalises but relegates their position to one

of supplementary rather than primary importance.8

Regardless of the degree to which vocalises are employed in their methods of

instruction, it seems that most if not all authorities on voice training who favor the use of vocalises

consider them 10 have developmental benefits for nearly every aspect of singing technique in

ways with which the song approach alone is not fully capable of dealing. Richard Miller explains,

"The vocalise is useful technically because it limits the area of skill to be acquired. It concentrates

more narrowly upon specifics. ~ These skills generally fall under broad headings similar to the

following:

1) The use of breath and its connection to the free production of tone

2) Resonance development and vowel formation

3) Articulation and flexibility

Vocalises are seen, then, as the best way to isolate these elements in order to deal with them

individually, evaluate the progress being made in each area, and to then synthesize them into an

expressive whole.

Some authors choose to view this process as the formation of positive habits.

Vocalization is seen as a way of practicing certain muscular techniques as conscious actions in

order that they might eventually be performed in an unconscious manner. 10 While referring to

this concept as 'he paradox of all artistic training," Victor Relds compares it to other technical

endeavors which, at their initial stages of development, also require conscious control of their

component actions, such as walking, typing, dancing, and flying an airplane. Fields states, " ...

before you can free yourself you must first learn to contro/yourself. In other words, self-control

brings freedom of action only when correct habits have been formed."11 Father William Finn

voices unequivocally the commonly-held opinion that vocalization is the means to this end of

positive habit formation: "The mind controls the muscles of the larynx, habit directs the mind, and

vocalization infixes the habit."12

While many voice teachers will concede that positive habits can also be formed through

the singing of vocal and choral repertoire, Miller argues that even professional Singers who

perform often will usually not encounter in their literature a complete range of technical skills. A

systematic approach to vocalization, however, can insure that a Singer is consistently confronted

with a wide scope of technical demands, giving the singer the broadest opportunity for

growth. 13 As a result of this hOlistic potential and because of their nature as tools for drill and

repetition. vocalises can be viewed in the manner to which Jack Boyd refers when he speaks of

them as "musical push-ups."14 Indeed. vocalises are often considered to be invaluable for the

physical conditioning of the vocal instrument. Both Leon Thurman and John Guthmiller compare

the vocalizing of a singer to the physical training dClne by athletes in preparation for the playing of

their sport. Guthmiller asserts that. just as athletes condition their bodies to be prepared for any

possible occurrence. so too a Singer should. through vocalization. strive to achieve the level of
conditioning that will make him or her ready for any technical demand. 15 Thurman offers a

glimpse into the physiological activities of the body when it is involved in athletic training such as

calisthenics or weight lifting:

The exercises and drills ... establish the coordinated firing of nerve fibers which

originate in the central nervous system and are inserted in the muscular system.

The firing is "guided and corrected" by feedback from various specialized

sensory nerve receptors. To perform with refined skill. only the necessary motor

nerve fibers must fire. and they must fire in a very precise sequence in micro-

seconds of time. 16

Thurman goes on to say that through vocalization, these same kinds of coordinated reactions are

developed in the singer, though the task is made somewhat more challenging.due to the hidden

nature of the larynx which limits the amount of sensory feedback the singer receives.

YQCalises as a Means of Warming Up the Voice for Daily Use. Vocalises used in a choral

setting are often referred to as "warm-ups," a name which suggests another of their important

benefits. Indeed, the value of vocalises as a means to ready the voice for the daily singing of

repertoire has long been acknowledged. Referred to by Christy as a kind of "oil" on the vocal

"machine;y",17 vocalises are promoted by many authorities on vocal production as an essential

means of vitalizing the body as a whole and of invigorating the muscles directly involved in the

singing act. 18 Proponents of warm-up claim that this muscular awakening benefits Singers in

terms of stamina, tone quality,19 intensity, facility, pitch accuracy, expressive potential,

preservation of vocal health, and a reduction of the possibility for incorrect use of the voice. 20

Again, the activities of athletes are compared by authorities such as Thurman, Miller and

Larra Browning Henderson to the activities of singers in relation to the concept of warm-up. Just

as athletes perform physical exercises which serve to "prime their bodies for the degree of

strenuous effort expected in a game," vocal warm-up exercises have the same kind of priming

effect on singers and their bodies. 21 Both Miiler22 and Robert Sataloff23 consider warm-up-

not only before singing but before any kind of vocal activity-essential in promoting and

maintaining vocal health. Satal~ff, an otolaryngologist as well as a singer, claims that the addition

of warm-up to the morning activities of his patients who are singers and teachers has at times

been sufficient to rid them of the problems of hoarseness and vocal fatigue and to prolong their

careers.

Vocalises as a Means of Preparation for the Performance of Literature. A third purpose

of vocalises as seen by many voice teachers and choral conductors is to prepare singers for the

performance of selected literature. This concept may be applied in various ways. First of all,

vocalises which are sung in the same general style as a work to be performed can help to prepare

singers both mentally and physically for the expressive requirements of the music. 24 Secondly,

when a work contains particular technical challenges, vocalises may be used which focus on

those demands prior to or in conjunction with technical work done in the context of the piece. 25

Furthermore, vocalises may be developed which incorporate specific rhythmiC, melodic or

harmonic elements from the music. This method can be seen as a way of economizing valuable

rehearsal time by providing an opportunity for singers to work particular passages "into the voice"

while developing technique and warming up at the same time. 26

Principles of Effective Choral Vocalization

Isolation and Synthesis of SpeCific Elements of \focal Technique. AuthOrities almost

universally recognize the importance of breathing technique as a fundamental element of

healthy and expressive singing. The establishment of a secure diaphragmatic and intercostal

breathing capability is frequently viewed as the foundation upon which all other aspects of vocal

development are built, and therefore it is often the first element of vocal technique to be isolated

for study. Non-phonating breathing exercises are widely recommended and employed, and

while this study focuses primarily on vocalises involving phonation, an overview of some of the

non-phonating exercises seems warranted since they are considered by many to be extremely

beneficial in developing certain skills which are vital to healthy singing. While a detailed

description is not included in this study, the importance of good posture for breathing is

assumed to be an essential prerequisite not only for breathing exercises specifically but for

singing in generaJ.27

While the basic breathing cycle of inhalation and exhalation is an involuntary process

which functions naturally and effectively while asleep, the same process does not always occur

as naturally at other times, especially when it must be applied to singing. In accordance with the

concept of positive habit formation, many teachers recommend that the breathing cycle be

practiced in a conscious fashion, so that through conscious control it may become a properly

functioning subconSCious action during singing. Conscious practice requires a certain amount of

conscious awareness, and therefore an initial step recommended by Richard Miller is an analysis

of one's own breathing cycle while being made aware of its desirable conditions: an outward

movement of the epigastrium, umbilical region and rib cage during inhalation and a slight inward

Christy (23-25).
18

movement of the umbilical region at the beginning of exhalation. The breathing should occur

silently, first through the nose and then through the mouth.28 However, should the physical

process of inhalation prove difficult to establish, Lynn Corbin recommends employing a "sipping"

inhalation to aid the singer in sensing the proper muscular action. 29 In the same regard William

Vennard suggests that one imagine a tape measure around the lower ribs and try to increase its

measurement as much as possible with each inhalation.30

Methods for Singers to monitor the physical activity involved in the breathing cycle

include placing both hands around the waist,31 placing one hand on the epigastrium and the

other on the ribs, lying face up with a book or other heavy object on the abdomen,32 or simply

observing one's self in a mirror,33 the latter two perhaps being more applicable to a studio rather

than choral setting. William Lock suggests placing one hand on the abdomen while the other

crosses over to its opposite shoulder to insure that the shoulders are not being raised and,

hence, that there is an avoidance of clavicular breathing which is considered inefficient and even

harmful for the singer3 4. Other suggestions made by Lock for practicing non-involvement of the

shoulders include breathing with one's hands and arms in front of the body and parallel to the

floor or with arms folded acrosslhe chest. In either case, any raising of the arms indicates the

presence of undesirable tension and movement in the shoulders.35

Once the proper functioning of the muscles involved in the breathing cycle has been

established, other exercises can be used to improve one's skill in breath management, which can

be defined as ,he abmty to balance the supply of air according to the amount of sound and

energy required".36 One such exercise is breath suspension in which timed inhalations and

exhalations are separated by an equal amount of time during which the breath is suspended

while the glottis remains open. 37 3839 Another frequently suggested exercise is that which

Miller refers to as 'he prolongation of the sibilant," an exercise which he claims Ugoes to the heart

of inspiratory-expiratory control. 040 In performing the exercise one produces a sustained

Uhissing" sound, with the goal of increasing the length of the sound with continued practice.

Other exercises which can help to further develop a singer's muscle coordination for·

breath management can be placed in two categories. The first type of exercise makes use of

consonant sounds which are separated to varying degrees in order to stimulate action of the

abdominal and intercostal muscles. Miller recommends both the slow and rapid use of the

voiceless (referred to as ·surd" in phonetic terms) labiodental fricative continuant,41 i.e. the

20

sound of the letter "f". In the slow execution of the exercise, the singer performs the action of

Mblow[ing] out six to eight candles successively with one breath, but with separate abdominal

impulses:t42 The exercise may then be repeated a number of times, each one separated by

inhalation. While Miller stipulates the use of the letter "f" sound for this exercise, Corbin

suggests the same exercise using a standard blowing action.43 It would seem to follow that

other voiceless consonant sounds might be used in place of the "f" sound that could achieve

similar resuHs, such as the bilabial stop-plosive (Wp") , the lingua-dental continuant (''th'' as in

"thorn'1, the velar plosive ("k") , the lingual alveolar plosive ("I"), or the lingual alveolar fricative

continuants ("s" and ash").

A more rapid use of the "f" consonant, performed on a single breath, is intended to incite

a corresponding rapid abdominal motion. 44 Again, some of the other consonant sounds

mentioned above might also be used beneficially in this fashion. Frauke Haasemann and

Wilhelm Ehmann recommend a slower execution of consonant activity as an aid in the

coordination and strengthening of the breathing muscles. Similar consonants are used but with

each consonant articulation followed by inhalation and with each occurrence of the breathing

cycle having a duration suitable to a steady, rhythmic execution of the exercise.45 Ehmann and

Haasemann also recommend articulation of consonant sounds using various rhythms that

correspond with a particular vocalise or piece of music.

The second category of muscle coordination exercises can be given the general

heading of "panting." Vennard recommends panting as an important transitional exercise to

actual vocalizing,46 while Christy refers specifically to the benefits that panting has on a singer's

ability to sing staccato and with accented attacks.47 The pant is a rapidly repeated execution of

the breathing cycle, but using less air per cycle than in a 'ull" breath .. The singer is encouraged

to maintain a steady rate of inhalation and exhalation and to work gradually over time to increase

both the rate and duration of the exercise. In oroerto insure a uniform execution of the exercise

in a group setting, the pant may be performed in a rhythmic fashion in which a steady tempo is

established and with the rapidity of the breathing cycle eventually being increased in a

proportionate fashion (Example No.1). A second kind of panting exercise is similar to the first in

terms of muscular activity but differs in that actual inhalation and exhalation does not take place.

Apparently having its origins in the ancient science of Yoga,48 49 the isolation of

abdominal muscular actions apart from actual breathing is considered by Miller to be a vital

developmental tool in regard to vocal agility and rapid intervallic articulation.50

Phonation that is free from extrinsic muscular interference is, of course, the goal of and

the purpose for any breathing exercises. The most fundamental act of phonation and therefore

of any program of vocalization is that of starting the tone without an initial consonant, a process

often referred to as the "attack", although it is perhaps more appropriately described by the term

"onset.,,51 Three types of vocal onset are commonly discussed. The first type-one of two

which are generally considered undesirable-is the soft or aspirate (breathy) onset in which the

valve at the top of the trachea remains too loose and breath is wasted, causing the resultant tone

to lack clarity.52 The second type of improper onset is the hard or glottal attack, known in

phonetic terms as the "glottal plosive ..,53 The hard attack occurs when the glottis is closed

before breath pressure is applied resulting in an audible catch or click in the initial tone, and it is

generally considered by laryngologists to cause unhealthy laryngeal tension and to be potentially

damaging to the voice.54 The type of onset which is considered to be the most desirable from

both a scientific and aesthetic standpoint is what Miller terms the "balanced onset." It is a

physiological middle ground between the soft onset and the hard attack and is the kind of onset

which most completely promotes laryngeal freedom. In the balanced onset the closure of the

glottis is brought about by breath pressure in a process of physics known as the Bernoulli effect,

but without any escaping of breath at the outset of the tOn£.~ as occurs in the soft onset. 55

A number of recommendations are made for the promotion and execution of the

balanced onset. One type of exercise involves the use of certain spoken sounds to encourage

proper onset, such as the commonly-used affirmation, "m-hm"56, or a repeated "ha, ha, ha,

ha."57 The "h" aspirate used in the latter exercise encourages a commencement of the tone

which closely resembles the soft onset. Both Miller and Vennard recommend a slight escape of

breath in this manner prior to the actual making of tone as an initial step toward the development

of a balanced onset capability.58 59 The use of the audible "h" at this stage is justifiable because

it encourages the inducement of breath activity prior to phonation. The physical actions of the

breathing cycle and breath suspension el>!Jrcises should be employed either consciously or

subconsciously during onset exercises with the production of tone simply being an added

feature of exhalation. 60 61 Once sufficient skill has been developed in the use of the audible

"h", the singer is directed to precede the tone with an imaginary or nearly audible "h" in further

spoken exercises or in any onset vocalizations as a means for promoting the true balanced

onset. 6263

The balanced onset may be said to have three sub-types which Christy labels "Normal

Legato, Staccato, and Accented. tt64 Many of the vocalises contained in this study can be used

to aid in the development of each of these types of onset. The exercise in Example No.2 (see

be sung in a separated fashion at a moderately slow tempo. The use of the vocalise may be

preceded with non-phonating articulations of consonants such as "s" or '1" which are sustained

in durations similar to those used in the vocalise (For other exercises appropriate to the study of

"normal legato" onset, see the following vocalises in Appendix A: 2,9, 11-19,21-24,28,29,45,

encouragement of an extra degree of vigorous abdominal action (For exercises appropriate to

the study of "accented" onset, see the following vocaJises in Appendix A: 2,8,20,29).

The development and practice of staccato onset is believed by many pedagogues to

have a number of benefits. Staccato vocalization is said to aid in the development of f1exibility.65

in the elimination of breathiness in the tone. 66 in the overcoming of vocal interferences. 67 in

the extension of range. in the encouragement of precise intonation. 68 and in the general

conditioning of the instrument. 69 It is recommended that before singers begin to develop

staccato technique they establish a secure capability for the "normal legato" onset. Initial

staccato practice should then begin with single-pitched vocalises done at a slow to moderate

tempo in the middle range. 70 As facility permits intervallic exercises should be used. range

should be extended and tempo increased. It is generally recommended that heavy singing be

avoided in the performance of any staccato vocalises71 {For exercises appropriate to the

development of staccato onset and technique. see the following vocalises in Appendix A: 29-

42. 44-46}. The muscular activity of the abdominal muscles in staccato singing is closely related

to that of the panting exercise. and therefore the pant can be a valuable activity preliminary to

establishing staccato capabilities.72 73

While breathing and onset cababilities are the foundation of a freely sustained vocal

production, they do not necessarily insure that the voice will remain entirely unconstricted during

this type of vocalization. The attainment of vocal freedom is often a lengthy process and concern

for its development must never diminish, since the establishment of vocal freedom is vital to vocal

health and success. Non-interference, then, is the overriding goal of any vocalise and is the

ultimate criterion upon which its effectiveness is determined, or as Christy states, "Technic

without ease is imperfect technic.,,74 The choral conductor has perhaps less means at his/her

disposal to monitor and encourage freedom of production than does a studio teacher, however

the conscientiOUS and informed conductor can nevertheless have positive effects on singers in

this regard. Visually the conductor can become aware of certain signs of interference such as

poor posture and tension in the jaw, lips, and neck,75 and the discriminating ear of the conductor

can, of course, detect a faulty production of tone.

A number of ways are available for the choral conductor to help effect greater vocal

freedom during vocalization. Bodily movement of the area to be relaxed can be highly effective,

based on the principle that "muscles in motion ... will not become rigid.,,76 For example, singers

can be asked to turn their head slowly from side to side while vocalizing to reduce tension in the

neck,77 and similarly the jaw may be wiggled from side to side to reduce jaw tension?8

Vocalizing using a vibration of the lips as if one were cold or in imitation of a horse ("brrr") not only

serves to relax the lips but also encourages proper breath activity.79 A rolled "(' can be used in a

similar fashion to relax the tongue and promote breath support. 80 Principles of the Alexander

technique can be useful in promoting general freedom, such as a conscious lengthening of the

neck during singing. 81 As singers become increasingly aware of the sensations of free tonal

production they can also be reminded periodically to monitor specific areas of possible tension.

Following the initial work toward the establishment of a connection between breath and

the free emission of tone, the singer's attention can tum toward the quality of sustained sound.

The primary vehicle for sustained sound in singing is the vowel, and thus it is the ease and quality

of vowel production that is the foremost concem of vocalization. It is generally recommended

that beginning singers vocalize using the five "cardinal" or "pure" vowels in the Italian language,

"ah," "ay," Nee," "oh," and "00. 0082 Variations of these vowels are considered appropriate after a

certain level of proficiency has been achieved with the five primary vowels. 83 Many authorities

encourage beginning singers to vocalize on each of the five primary vowels separately before

using vocalises that combine two or more vowels. 84 85

When beginning the study of vowels in vocalization one becomes inevitably and

simultaneously engaged in the pursuit of that which is commonly referred to as "resonance." In

strictly acoustical terms, "resonance" is the "reinforcement of sound by synchronous vibration."

This reinforcement of sound occurs in the "secondary vibrators" or "resonators. "86 The

resonator for the voice is a column of air which is shaped in a complex fashion by a vocal tract

made up of the pharynx, mouth, and at times the nose, which is capable of a high degree of

variance. 87 The quality and combination of resonators has a direct effect on the perceived

quality of sound, and therefore the shape of the vocal tract plays a large part in determining the

timbre of the vocal tone. 88 Thus, when singers refer to the development of "resonance" in the

voice they are generally referring to the development of a desirable timbre.89 Vocalises can play

an important role in the development of desireele timbre by systematically encouraging the

optimum shape of the mouth and pharynx and by offering a means for the isolated practice of

vowel production. Vennard sums up what he views as the two seemingly opposing and yet

compatible qualities of this desirable vocal timbre: "It should be the objective of every singer to

get as much brilliance as possible and as much depth as possible in the tone at the same time.

They are the hemispheres of production. "90

The brilliance of which Vennard speaks is often referred to by other terms such as "ring,"

"buzz," "ping," "focus," or "nasai resonance." One of the oldest and most widely accepted

methods for the development of "ring" in the voice is vocalization using the nasal consonants,

"m", lin" and "ng". The use of these conSvi1ants in vocalization encourages resonator

adjustment that is conducive to desirable acoustic function, actively engages the muscles

involved in breath "support,"91 and helps to eliminate tension in the tongue and velum,92 all

promoting a clarity of tone which can serve as a foundation for sonorous vowel production.

Richard Miller advocates the use of these consonants, not only in the initial stages of resonance

development, but as an acoustical guide during daily practice. 93

A number of recommendations are made for the use of the nasal consonants in

vocalization. Many authorities stipulate that when humming, the lips should touch lightly and not

be pinched, the tongue st~ould be in contact with the lower teeth ::and the teeth should be

parted, perhaps to the point where an "ah" vowel is felt inside the mouth.94 Kenneth

Westennan suggests beginning a hum with the affirmative "m-hm," which he claims will promote

balanced onset and therefore clarity of tone.95 Ehmann and Haasemann recommend that

exercises incorporating nasal consonants be begun at a piano dynamic to promote a sense of

effortlessness. 96 In order to insure that tension does not exist in the tongue, velum or jaw. one

might "strum" the lip with one finger, making sure that an "uh" vowel becomes present as the /ips

are parted. 97 Nasal consonants are perhaps most beneficial when combined with vowels in

vocalization as "persuaders" to improve timbre.98 In this regard. some vocalises employ

sustained consonants and Clipped vowels as an initial step toward the goal of singing brief

consonants with sustained, resonant vowels.99 While the singing of nasal consonants can be

beneficial in nearly any part of the vocal range, it is generally recommended that "n" and "ng" be

used in the upper range rather than "m".

One sign that free resonance is occurring during the singing of nasal consonants is the

sensing of vibrations that may be felt in the pharynx, nose, mouth, and sinuses. 100 The

sensation in the nose and sinuses of this "sympathetic resonance" may often be maintained in

vowel production with beneficial results by using "persuader" vocalises. Often the "n" and "ng"

consonants will more effectively encourage this frontal sensation than will the "m", and they may

be considered by some to be more easily converted to a vowel due to the open-mouth pOSition

which they allow. 101 Christy considers "ng" to be particularly valuable for use in the upper

register of the voice. 102 The use of "ng" has long been popular due primarily to the Thomas

Fillebrown book of 1911, Resonance in Singing and Speaking and the series of exercises

contained therein which promote the word "hung" as a "persuader" toward resonant vowel

production, although Fillebrown also permits other words ending in "ng" to be used at times. 103

Miller prefers a word such as "sung" rather than "hung" to begin a vocalise because of the

immediate deflection of air into the mouth caused by the sibilant "s".104

It is generally accepted that, when vocalizing for the development of "ring" in the voice,

the most beneficial vowels to be coupled with the nasal consonants are "ee" and "ay", since they

are the most "forward" or "bright" vowels in the vowel spectrum and are the most likely to have a

natural clarity and brilliance. 105 Vocalises utilizing these "bright" vowels along with the nasal

consonants can also be of great assistance in helping singers overcome breathiness and lack of

"focus" in the tone. 106 If there is any danger involved in vocalizing on these vowels it is that they

have the greatest tendency of any of the vowels to be produced in a constricted fashion, and

therefore attention to freedom of production is essential during this type of vocalization. In the

same way that nasal consonants can function as "persuaders" to a tonal "ring", so, too, can the

"bright" vowels serve to encourage clarity and brilliance in other vowels. 107 The "dark" vowels

"oh" and "00," while acoustically similar to Nee" and "ay", do not share their same tendency for

brilliance. 108 When they are preceded in a vocalise by a forward vowel, however, the "dark"

vowels can be encouraged to take on more of the clarity and "ring" of their "bright"

counterparts 109 (For exercises appropriate for use in vocalization on the nasal consonants and

their combination with vowels, see the following vocalises in Appendix A: 1-6,9-14,20,27,29-

31,42-44,48).

The "dark" vowels have their own unique traits that can benefit the development of free

resonance through vocalization. They are characterized by their depth of tone and are therefore

useful in establishing this second element of desirable timbre of which Vennard speaks. 11 0

32

These vowels also characteristically encourage a low larynx and freedom of production. 111 and

because of these tendencies the "00" vowel in particular has been called lithe medicine of the

voice. "112 "00" can be of particular value when used in vocalises as a "persuader" vowel to

encourage depth and freedom in the characteristically narrow Nee" and "ay" vowels. 113 The

"oh" and "00" vowels are also frequently recommended for use in work toward the development

of the upper range. D. A. Clippinger directs singers using his vocal method to sing vocalises

which incorporate the "dark" vowels using a very light production in the upper range as a means

of developing "head" tones. 114 Singers may be directed to modify other vowels toward a darker

vowel in the upper range in a process commonly referred to as "covering.,,115 The consonant "l"

is sometimes recommended as a particularly effective "persuader" to promote resonance in the

"00" vowel.

In between the extremes of the "bright" vowels' inherent brilliance and the characteristic

depth of the "dark" vowels is the "ah" vowel. "Ah" naturally contains qualities from both ends of

the spectrum and therefore it can be considered to be the most complete in its inherent resonant

properties. 116 As a result of the balanced resonance that the "ah" vowel promotes and because

it is the most commonly sung vowel in the literature. it is generally considered the most beneficial

vowel for vocalizing. 117 "Ah" can serve as the pOint of departure from which the consistent.

uniform production of aI/ of the vowels can be developed. 118 Conversely, the quality of the "ah"

vowel can be enhanced by preceding it with one or more of the "bright" vowels to promote "ring"

and using the "dark" vowels to encourage freedom, as in Example No. 3119 (see Vocalise No.

In order for optimum resonance to occur, the pharynx and the mouth-the two

resonators over which the singer has conscious control-must have acoustically appropriate

space. 120 Space in the pharynx, commonly referred to as the "open throat," is of utmost

importance since the pharynx is the most influential of the resonators on tone quality.121 The

throat is not to be consciously held open but should rather be in a relaxed state characterized by

a forward and relaxed tongue position, a low larynx and a high soft palate. 122 Many of the

breathing, onset, and resonance-building techniques already discussed are valuable in

promoting an open throat. Other recommended methods for achieving an open throat include

imitating the beginning of a yawn, maintaining the position of the throat immediately after

swallowing,123 exercising the tongue,124 and inhaling through the nose as if smelling a

pleasant fragrance. 125

A common misconception or over-simplification concerning space in the mouth and

pharynx is that a maximum amount of space is always desirable regardless of vowel or pitch.

While the creation of space does have a tendency to promote freedom of prodUction, it can be

unnecessary or even detrimental to vocal timbre. The latest acoustical research suggests that for

any given pitch within the vocal range there is an ideal shape for each vowel that will bring 'the

frequencies of the vocal cords and the vocal tract ... into accord" thereby creating the maximum

production of resonance. 126 Through vocalization singers can work to discover these ideal

vowel shapes. One generalization that can be made is that as pitch ascends, more space is

required. 127 Singers can be encouraged to create space through such activities as imagining a

dime turneci on its edge resting between the top and bottom molars or by singing with the thumb

joint held vertically between the front teeth. 128 Vocalises on single vowels can aid singers in

discovering optimum vowel shape, and vocalises which include a combination of vowels, such as

the exercise in Example No.4 (see Vocalise No. 18 in Appendix A), can assist in establishing a

uniform timbre throughout the vowel spectrum. 129 While aids such as Berton Coffin's vowel

chart are available to assist singers in determining the optimum shape for each vowel on each

pitch, 130 the advice of Vennard remains perhaps the most pragmatic in terms of the

development of optimum vowel shape through choral vocalization: "Experiment is the only way

to settle the question of how much to open the mouth.,,131 (While most of the vocalises in

Appendix A are appropriate for use in vowel development, the following vocalises may be

considered particularly useful: 9-24, 43,44)

The word "articulation" in singing generally refers to matters associated with language, however

in a larger context it can also refer to the manner in which a note is begun and released and how

notes move from one to the next. The development of legato, and staccato articulation is

considered an important goal in the establishing of a complete, expressive and flexible vocal

technique. In the strictest sense, legato in singing implies the conn,ected singing of one syllable

on two or more notes. 132 The ability to sing portamento, commonly referred to as "slurring," is

often considered an important preliminary step toward the development of legato singing.

Vocalises which employ portamento (Example No.5) (see Vocalise No. 11 in Appendix A) can be

then be added which, if voiced, should contribute to the flow of the line through their

characteristic qualities of phonation, and if voiceless (surd) should generally be considered to be

the most brief interruptions in an otherwise connected tone. 134

A closely related capability to legato singing is sostenuto. In its simplest form, sostenuto

is the sustaining of a single tone. Some pedagogues consider sostenuto an elementary

technique that should be used early in vocal study as a means of encouraging a connection of

breath and tone,135 breath management skills, and as a prerequisite for legato singing. 136

133Clippinger 36.

134Fields, Foundations 321.

135Harpster 10.

136Clippinger 36.
37

Others view sostenuto as a more advanced technique inappropriate for beginners. 137 In its

most developed stage, sostenuto technique allows the singer to sustain long phrases with

seeming ease and security. Miller considers this kind of sostenuto "the ultimate test of technical

ability.,,138 Sostenuto capability can be built up by using such non-phonating exercises as the

prolongation of the sibilant and breath suspension,139 and through vocalises which emphasize

extended tones and phrases, with pitch and tempo being altered dependent on the stage of

development of the singers 140 (For exercises appropriate to the development of sostenuto

technique, see the following vocalises in Appendix A: 1,4,9-19,21-24,28,44-47).

Once basic technique has been established, including the ability to sing a single-tone

sostenuto, the foundation is laid for the messa di voce, an exercise which goes to the heart of

expressive singing and which is considered to be one of the "secrets" of the classical Italian or

bel canto school. 141 Translated in the eighteenth century as the "putting forth" or "flourishing"

of the vo!ce,142 messa di voce refers specifically to "the gradual crescendo of a single tone from

pianissimo to maximum power, followed by a slow diminuendo to its starting pOint ... without the

slightest variation of pitch, quality, or technique of phonation."143 Beyond its most obvious

benefit as a means of developing an ability to produce dynamic contrast,144 messa di voce can

greatly aid the singer in the development of skills associated with breath management145,

onset,146 register transition,147 and the subtleties of expressive phrasing. 148 The gradual

diminuendo often proves to be the most challenging part of the exercise and may indeed require

the greatest amount of breath to execute successfully.149 In a choral setting it is important that

the singers be made aware through rhythmiC means of the desired length of each portion of the

exercise. It may be helpful to precede work on the messa di voce with a dynamically similar

prolongation of a continuant consonant such as "s" or "f". This allows the singer to experience

something of the demands that are made on the breath without the possibility of vocal strain

(Vocalise No.1 in Appendix A may be used for the study of messa di voce).

Many aspects of vocal technique including legato, sostenuto and messa di voce, can fall

under the heading of "flexibility." Perhaps the most common application of the term for singing,

though, is in reference to the ability to execute rapidly moving melismatic passages which involve

stepwise, arpeggiated, and/or otherwise intervalicly complex melodic movement. While staccato

articulation is in itseH a form of this type of vocal flexibHity, it is also considered by many teachers

to be the fundamental skill out of which all kinds of flexibility grow,150 since they all require the

same kind of umbilical-epigastric action which is characteristic of staccato singing and therefore of

its preparatory exercise, the pant.. 151

One of the most challenging skills associated with flexibility is the coloratura singing

associated with much of Baroque literature which Ehmann and Haasemann term martellato152

and Miller calls "articulated legato."153 Articulated legato occurs when each note of a melismatic

passage is sung with a necessarily brief and abdominally induced crescendo and diminuendo

while at the same time being connected to each preceding and succeeding note by an

uninterrupted production of tone. 154 Following the establishment of a moderately secure

staccato capability, the development of articulated legato technique might best begin using

voiceless continuant consonants such as "s" and "til in a rhythmic manner which corresponds to

the vocalises which are to follow. Phonating exercises might then begin which combine staccato

articulation with groupings of only a few notes to be sung using the articulated legato (Example

No.7) (see Vocalise No. 36 in Appendix A). These vocalises should have brief, narrow-range

melodies sung in the middle of the voice at a moderate tempo and dynamic. As facility improves

building of other skills requiring flexibility such as the execution of rapid arpeggios and wide

intervallic leaps should also be accomplished using the same concept of gradually increasing

complexity. Mathilde Marchesi recommends that flexibility exercises be varied In terms of rhythm,

articulation and dynamics, including the use of dotted rhythms, crescendo and diminuendo,

terrace dynamics, and alternating staccato and legato articulation. 156 Ehmann and Haasemann

also suggest the combination of staccato and articulated legato as a means to further increase

technical skill 157 (For exercises appropriate to the development of flexibility, see the following

vocalises from Appendix A: 29-43, 45-50).

The other sense in which the term "articulation" can be used in singing refers to "the

succession of different vowels, the fluctuation of timbre, and ... the combination of these

sounds with consonants,"158 orlanguage. While the synthesis of this type of articulatory skill

must necessarily be developed during the actual singing of text, vocalises can be an aid in

developing certain preliminary capabilities associated with articulation. Since a primary element in

the development of language articulation is the enunciation of consonants, the non phonating

exercises previously described which involve the enunciation of consonants can also be seen to

have benefits in that iegaid. All consonants can be isolated in combination with vowels, a

technique which offers singers the opportunity to become aware of the acoustical nature of the

consonants, such as their qualities of being voiced or voiceless (sonant or surd), plosive or

continuant, etc. 159 Vocalises with consonants can also serve to develop the independence of

the jaw, tongue and lips which is necessary for clear, coordinated articulation. 160

The benefits of vocalizing with consonants is not limited solely to matters of language

articulation. The influence of the nasal consonants on breath activity and resonance has already

been discussed. Most of the other consonants, though, can have the same kinds of effects in

their own characteristic ways. Miller writes, "Singers have long recognized the value of prefacing

vowels with some specific consonant that improves subsequent timbre. Even those consonants

that require concerted action from tongue, lips, and velum may assist the ensuing vowel. ,,161 In

addition to "m", Father Finn writes that "f" and "pM are the most beneficial since they "compress

the air in the mouth rather than altogether below the cords."162 Miller details the benefits of

many other consonants. For example, voiceless consonants such as "t" are, by virtue of their

non-phonatory nature, less likely to encourage tension in an ensuing vowel, and may therefore

serve in a transitional way to encourage an absence of tension in their voiced counterparts. 163

The consonants "z", "th" (voiced), and "v" are considered particularly valuable in encouraging

resonant tone and sensations of "sympathetic" resonance. 164

Another aid which is "perhaps the best oral quick-trick to teach crisp articulation" is the

"tongue-twister."165 Tongue-twisters awaken the articulators and encourage intense mental

activity in singers. Tongue-twisters are made up of phrases that contain either relentless

alliteration. two or more consonant sounds in alternation. or a series of rhyming or nearly rhyming

words. They nearly always live up to their name and consequently are usually a source of

enjoyment and amusement for a choir. They may be spoken but are perhaps most effective in a

choral setting when sung which is the intent of the tongue-twisters contained in this study

development of language articulation, see the following vocalises in Appendix A: 5, 6. 8. 25-28.

While the development of isolated skills into positive habits is one of the primary

functions of vocalization, it is not yet a full realization of vocalization's ultimate goal. William

Vennard states: "A knowledge of the various processes involved in singing is like a disjointed

skeleton until their interrelation is understood. An organism is greater than the sum of all its parts,

and no analytical study discovers the whole truth until it leads to synthesls." 166 Likewise, Leon

Thurman writes:

... basic skills must be developed, sometimes separately from other skills, but at

some point a singer must 'go with the flow' or the synergy of the total act of

singing. Exercises usually simplify complex skills into subparts at first, then

should gradually combine the subparts into the increasingly complex,

synergized skills of singing. 167

It is intended then that vocalization lead the Singer toward a synthesis of skills

characteristic of a fully developed technique capable of satisfying any expressive demand.

Surely choral and solo literature provides abundant opportunity for such a synthesis to occur,

166Vennard 191.

167Thurman 142.
44

however vocalises can and should contribute toward the same end. Many of the vocalises in this

study are specifically intended to promote such a synthesis by incorporating' /into a single

exercise techniques that enr..ourage the development of a number of skills. For example, the

following vocalise begins with the word "sing" which contains the sibilant "s" to stimulate breath

activity and the consonant combination "ng" to help establish "ring" in the tone. Tonal brilliance

is further encouraged by the "bright" vowels "ee" and "ay" with the Intent that that brilliance will

be maintained In the final vowel, "ah." The brief, rapidly-moving melismas provide an opportunity

to combine work toward timbre development with the practice of flexibility technique. The final

three notes of the exercise require a sudden adjustment from an articulated legato to standard

legato articulation (Example No. 10) (see Vocalise No. 43 in Appendix A). Another exercise
encourages timbre results similar to the previous vocalise by virtue of Its Identical consonant and

vowel combinations, but the nature of its melody makes It useful in the development of legato

and advanced sostenuto technique. By alternating the articulation of the vocalise during

successive repetitions it can encourage vocal and mental versatility and provide all of the

technical benefits of staccato articulation (Example No. 11) (See Vocalise No. 44 In Appendix A).

Sequence. Many teachers and conductors consider the order in which vocal exercises

are presented within a rehearsal or pre-performance warm-up period to be of great importance in

regard to their overall effectiveness. EspeCially when considered in light of their function as a

means of warm-up, it is important that vocal exercises serve to gradually awaken the muscles

involved in singing in a manner that does not require premature strenuous activity. Although

some variance of opinion exists suggesting that there are no rigid rules to be followed in this

regard, a standard sequence of activities tends to resemble that suggested by Leon Thurman.

After a series of exercises to enliven the whole body through the stretching and massaging of

muscles, Thurman recommends a sequence that begins with non-phonating breath coordination

exercises followed by phonating speech-based exercises consisting primarily of what Thurman

calls "vocal sigh-slides". The sequence continues with pitched vocalises sung lightly in the

middle range of the voice which have primarily downward-moving melodies and which emphasize

onset and the encouragement of free and "resonant" vowel production. Other vocalises having

a similar purpose may follow with melodic movement first by step and then increasingly by skip.

Language articulation exercises encouraging the strengthening and coordination of the lips,

tongue and jaw may follow, and the period of vocalises concludes with those involving the
46

extended range and flexibility.168 It should be noted that this sequence generally mimics on a

limited scale the type of sequence used over a period of months and years in the building of

vocal technique, perhaps suggesting a guiding principle that a sequence of exercises based on

an orderly progression of vocal development is also the most appropriate for use in a single

period of warm-up activities.

Variation. Many authors who address vocalization specifically for choir recommend that

the process incorporate a certain amount of variety, especially in regard to vocalise repertoire.

Lynn Corbin cites one reason for such an approach, stating, "By using a variety of vocalises. the

choir's attention can be fully focused on the problems to be encountered. By carelessly using

the same exercises. we may be rehearsing and ingraining problems.,,169 In no uncertain terms

Gordon Lamb relates another reason for variety: "It is best not to use the same exercises every

day. No matter what they are. they can become boring. "170 Variety can also be achieved by

varying many of the stylistic elements of vocalises. Christy writes: " ... the warm-up is facilitated if

imagination is used regarding variety of tempo. dynamics. style. mood. tone color. and length of

exercise on one breath. "171 The variation of many of these features within individual vocalises

can also heighten the interest and concentration level of singers in addition to the technical

benefits that such variation may inspire.

Aesthetic Qualities. An argument that is sometimes made by proponents of the "song

approach" against the use of vocalises is that they lack the aesthetic qualities present in vocal

and choral literature. Miller, however, defends vocalises as an aesthetic entity in their own right,

stating:

It is often overlooked that vocal timbre itself is emotive, and that every vocalise

should be treated as a musical expression, an emission of sound that in itselfis

communicative. It is naive to assume that technical work is non-creative and that

creativiiy enters only when literary ideas are elCpressed. Were that the case,

approximately half the standard vocal literatura from previous centuries would fail

to qualify as performance-worthy, because of its emphasiS upon pure

vocalization. 172

Other authorities agree that vocalises possess potential as an expressive medium and indeed

must be encouraged as such. Christy writes, "MuSic and the values of music reside first of all and

fundamentally in expression. ... This fact can never be even temporarily lost sight of in the

confusing complex of emphasis on the technical and the intellectual."173 Christy further

contends that without an emphasis on the aesthetic in vocalization the activity loses its

effectiveness:

There is no doubt that emphasis on expression and enjoyment is

psychologically sound in the initial stages of vocal study. Neither can emphaSis

on joy in singing and expressive significance be discarded later, for it stimulates

172Miller, "Creative" 29.

173Christy 18.
48

and gives purpose to technical study. Without this stimulus drill itself is sterile of

progress. 174

There are two important cofllJOnents which contribute to the aesthetic qualities of

vocalization. First of all. it may be stated simply that singers should attempt to sing vocalises as

expressively as they are able. orin the words of Mursell and Glenn. -A vocalise should not be just

a number of notes. but should be treated as a beautiful phrase in its own right."175 Secondly,

the quality of the vocalise itself can have a great effect on the potential for expressive

vocalization. Miller writes, -There is seldom value in practicing any vocalise that does not have

musical merit. ..• Every phrase, brief or long, fast or slow, loud or soft, must present a musical

experience.,,176 -Musical merit" in a vocalise may be the result of its particular melodic, rhythmic,

dynamic, articulatory, and/or harmonic interest.

Accompaniment. Although the practice of accompanying vocalises with a keyboard

instrument is commonplace, the subject of vocalise accompaniment is often not addressed in

literature about vocalization. Among those authorities who do comment on accompaniment,

opinion is divided as to its effectiveness and appropriateness for use with vocalises. Ehmann

and Haasemann discourage the use of accompaniment for two reasons: 1) because of the

percussive nature of either the piano or organ, and 2) because "the conductor who is involved

with performing as an accompanist for the choir is not hearing critically." 177 Victor Fields reports

that other teachers find the accompaniment of vocalises objectionable because "the

177Ehmann and Haasemann xi.


49

accompanying instrument tends to guide the voice constantly by keeping it on its true melodic

pitch line, creat[ing] a type of aural dependency which, in the long run, may be detrimental to the

singer. ,,178

In defense of the use of voca!ise ~ccumpaniment, Father Finn writes that "ingenious and

carefully studied accompaniment enhances the value" of vocalises intended for technical

study.179 In order for vocalise accompaniment to qualify as "ingenious and carefully studied,"

Finn recommends that it adhere to certain guidelines. First of all, Finn agrees with Ehmann and

Haasemann in recognizing the percussive tendencies of piano accompaniment, and he

therefore cautions against the doubling of the vocal line by the piano. To lessen its percussive

influence Finn recommends that the accompaniment play only chords or perhaps even single

tones in the left hand at points of rhythmic and harmonic significance and that these be

dynamically subordinate to the vocal melody. In addition, Finn encourages the use of harmonic

richness in vocalise accompaniment and in doing so calls attention to one of the strongest

attributes of accompaniment, i.e. the opportunity that it provides for harmonic interest, since Ihe

majority of choral vocalises are sung in a unison fashion. It is Finn's opinion that these harmonies

"increase the productivity of accompanied vocal exercises," a view which is indicative of the role

that rich harmonic accompaniment can play in increasing the overall "musical merit" of a vocalise I

thereby making an integral contribution toward the vocalise's inherent aesthetic potential.

While the vocalises in this collection attempt to follow Father Finn's recommendations in

many cases in regard to accompaniment, they are, in recognition of both the advantages and

disadvantages of accompanied vocalization, intended to be optional.

178Fields, Training 57.

179Finn 248.
50

Changes of Kev. Another common practice in regard to vocalization is that vocalises of

relative brevity are often repeated many times, each in a different key. The reasons generally

cited for this practice are that it allows singers to gradually explore and improve production

throughout a substantial part of their ranges and at the same time adds an element of variety to

the singing of a vocalise. Christy proposes that key changes for all beginning singers be limited

to a comfortable middle range, most likely between middle C and the C above for trebles and an

octave lower for male voices. As facility permits, the range covered by key changes may be

extended with the singers being directed not to sing outside of their "comfort zone," for as

Christy states, "There is never any advantage but only harm in exercising ... beyond easy

production range."180

Most authorities who speak of key changes in vocalization suggest what are already, as a

result of tradition and perhaps of simple common sense, the most widely accepted intervals of

repetition-the half-step and whole-step; key changes which move by these intervals allow for

the most gradual progression throughout the vocal range. Thurman recommends that key

changes move primarily downward and by half-step, while Jack Boyd comments that vocalises

may move either up or down but by whole-step. Movement by major second, says Boyd,

encourages beiter intonation because there are more common pitches from one key to the next

than in movement by minor second.

When piano accompaniment is used, the movement from one key to the next is usually

signaled by the piano. Often this type of key change is accomplished simply by playing two

successive tonic triads on the piano, the first in the old key and the second in the new. While this

method may function adequately enough as a transitional device, it presents a potentially

unsettling condition from an aesthetic standpOint if the last note of a vocalise sustains the tonic

180Christy 16.

'.
51

pitch, since that pitch is hannonically incompatible with the tonic triad of the new key. The

problem may be alleviated by instead using common tone modulations for key changes, which

utilize a dominant seventh chord in the new key as the transitional element. When transposing

up a haH-step, the tonic pitch of the preceding tonality becomes the leading tone in the new key.

When the modulation is in a downward direction, it must be done by whole-step relationship in

order to maintain a common pitch. In this case the tonic pitch of the old key becomes the fifth in

the dominant seventh chord of the new key (see the modulations at the beginning of Appendix

A). It should be noted that vocalization need not be restricted to major keys as is sometimes the

case, and that these transpositional relationships remain constant between either major or minor

keys.

Relationship to Literature with Examples Pertaining to Selected Frequently-Performed

W2.rks.. The use of vocalises as a means of applying the elements of vocal technique in a
synthesizing fashion to the performance of specific works of literature can and should be an

important goal of vocalization. While the conscientious application of standard technical

vocalises can be of great value in this regard, many authors consider vocalises that are drawn

from the literature itseH to have the most relevance.' 81 Literature-based vocalises can be

created by extracting melodic fragments from a piece which may offer certain technical

challenges, and treating those fragments in the manner of any other vocalise. 182 Minor

alterations would perhaps be necessary to insure that the vocalise functions as an independent

melody. These vocalises may be sung on an appropriate vowel, combination of vowels anellor

consonants, or using the original text of the passage. The vocalises may also be transposed up

181Lewis Gordon, Choral Director's Complete Handbook (West Nyack, NY: Parker,
1977) 158.

182Heffernan 23.

'.
52

or down within acceptable ranges. 183 Lamb comments that using this type of vocalise well in

advance of any rehearsals on the piece from which the exercise was extracted is an excellent way

to make the learning of a new work less time consuming and more enjoyable for the singers. 184

In the event that a literature-based vocalise requires a synthesis of technical elements for

which the singers are not fully prepared, it may first be beneficial to use vocalises that rehearse

component skills of the passage separately, and then gradually combine those skills as facility

permits. This process can involve non-phonating as well as phonating exercises as necessary. A

demonstration of this method of preparation can be sho"am in application io ihe iecllnicai

demands of two frequently performed choral works, J. S. Bach's motet, Lobet den Herrn, and

Randall Thompson's Alleluia, with reference to vocalises used by the Arizona Recital Choir in

preparation for the performance of these works.

Since ihe predominant teclmical requirement in Bach's Lobet den Herrn is articulated

legato, the same or similar exercises to those previously applied to articulated legato can be used

beneficially in the preparation of this work. Technical elements of the opening fugue subject,

including articulated legato, may be rehearsed using the sequence of exercises shown in

Example 12a-d, each one becoming progressively more representative of the final product (It

may be helpful to precede these exercises with articulation of the "f" consonant using the rhythm

of the vocalise in Example 12a):

A similar strategy can be followed in preparation for another thematic phrase in the work

which is first found in the tenor line beginning in measure 77 on the text, "seine Gnade und

Wahrheit .... " Melodically the phrase moves only by step and by third except for an ascending

octave during the singing of the first syllable of the word "Gnade." A logical objective of vocalises

associated with this phrase would be to encourage a freedom from tension that might otherwise

be present in conjunction with the octave leap. An initial step toward that end is to establish

freedom and coordination of the articulators as they relate to the consonant activity of the phrase.

The consonant "n" appears twice prior to the octave leap making it of primary concern.

Vocalization which isolates this consonant can work to develop independence of tongue and jaw
54

which will allow the "ah" vowel which surrounds the consonant in the phrase to maintain the

optimum space required for freedom of production and resonation of tone. A vocalise with a

primarily descending melody and descending modulations will be of added benefit in promoting

freedom during the refinement of these skills. The "z" consonant which begins the phrase may

begin the vocalises. as well. as a further encouragement of breath activity and resonant

production 185 (Example No. 13a) (see Vocalise No. 27 in Appendix A). The hard "g" may be

added in combination with "n" as in the word "Gnade" with heightened attention paid to a

maintenance of space as the consonants are articulated (Example No. 13b). These consonants

may then be added one at a time or sung together in the context of Bach's melody with "ah"

remaining the lone vowel (Example No. 13c). Finally the phrase may be rehearsed in its final form

Vocalises specifically for use in the preparation of Thompson's Alleluia would likely focus

on skills associated with balanced onset and legato articulation. Once again vocalises that

develop independence of articulators would be beneficial toward a legato treatment of the word

"alleluia." The action of the tongue and lips with minimal interference from movement of the jaw

may be isolated using vocalises such as the following (Examples No. 14a-b) (See Vocalise No. 26

in Appendix A). SyntheSiS of these textual components may be rehearsed using an

independent melody as an intermediary step toward rehearsal of the work itself (Example No.

Conclusion. It should be noted that in terms of the most effective means of developing

singing technique through vocalization, there is no substitute for work done in iiie private studio

where the needs of individual singers can best be met. It seems apparent, though, that choral

vocalization can nevertheless be highly beneficia! in encouraging basic vocal development and

therefore it can serve to improve choral performance and perhaps to motivate singers toward

additional individualized study. It is hoped that the vocalises contained in this collection might be

useful in increasing the choral conductor's access to vocalise repertoire, and that as a result

choral Singers might be provided with expanded opportunities to experience what is surely one

of the best tools for the development of the singing art.

Appendix A: Vocalises

General Notes. Choral conductors and voice teachers may choose to use the vocaJises

in this collection only as indicated, however they are also encouraged to adapt the vocalises to

their particular situations as they and their imaginations see fit. There are often many variations

possible for each vocalise in regard to the use of vowels, consonants and their combinations.

Many of the vocaiises rnay also be sung in minor or other alternate modes with corresponding

alterations in the accompaniment, if used. Variation or alternation of articulation (staccato, legato.

etc.) is often appropriate, as well. Varying these or other elements of the vocalises may allow

them to be more versatile in meeting the needs of the singers in tenns of their vocal

development and/or the performance of literature.

With one exception all of the vocaJises are presented with ascending modulations.

however descending. common-tone modulations of a whole-step are encouraged. as well. The

accompanist may be assisted in these downward modulations by playing the dominant seventh

sonority which immediately precedes the vocalise a whole-step below the one just completed.

Three series of modulations are given preceding the collection of vocalises as an aid to

modulation in either direction.

Because of the limitations of the computer software. key changes are indicated only by a

new key signature with no use of natural signs to cancel the old key signature. It should be

understood. then. that the appearance of a new key signature assumes the cancelation of the

old.
