Composing for Voice

Composing for Voice, Second Edition elucidates how language and music function together from the different perspectives of composers, singers, and actors, providing an understanding of the complex functioning of the voice pedagogically, musicologically, and dramatically. Composing for Voice explores the voice across all musical genres (pop, jazz, folk, classical, opera, musicals, etc.) and the fusion of language and music that is unique to song . The second edition is enlarged to attract a wider readership, across all music and theatre professionals and educators, and with new co-author Maria Huesca attracting a more visible international audience. Interviews, case studies, and qualitiative research have been added.
