Double Approach to the solo Voice in Works of Luciano Berio
Švarcová, Terezie ; FILAS, Juraj (advisor) ; KOPELENT, Marek (referee)
The vocal part of the artificial music progressed throughout the 20th
century with an extensive development. Along side with other composition
styles, most commonly used was the human voice while applying the technique
of bel canto, especially in the second half of the 20th century where there is an
exessive vocal projection based on the extended techniques. In this work I am
focusing on the composition approach for the vocal solo in the Luciano Berio
work, whom applies both of these styles within his piece. Luciano Berio
approaches these styles seperately or combines them into one. Here he focuses
on use of both priniciples individually and on specific pieces "Folk
Songs and Sequenza III per voce femminile " I demonstrate this alternative
capturing with the cooperation of work with the human vocals. I present their
characteristical symbols, and in simplistic voice I analyze and compare them.
