A Course in French Lyric Diction by author Deborah Williamson is a complete and comprehensive guide to French pronunciation, articulation, inflection, flow, and vocalization for singers and teachers of singing—ideal for any collegiate diction course. Available in both an instructor’s edition and a student edition, Williamson offers an overview of French lyric diction that addresses the language’s distinctive elements, information on syllabification, stressing, word rhythm, accent and other diacritical marks, and vocalic harmonization. In the sections on vowels, consonants, and liaison and elision, the author explores the nuances of French pronunciation, along with its unique challenges for the singer. Williamson presents vowels first by sound and then by letter, and organizes consonants by letter. All pronunciation is precisely transcribed into the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), an essential tool used extensively throughout the book. Williamson also provides a review of relevant IPA at the beginning of the book. For each section of the book, the author provides numerous practice worksheets so that students may apply newly acquired skills and knowledge to French text from the standard art song and operatic repertoire. The separate instructor’s edition provides all of the answers in red for quick reference, as well as reproducible materials for in-class use, including a sample syllabus, assignment sheet, test review sheets, two tests, an oral exam, and a final exam. A Course in French Lyric Diction is an expert resource that will facilitate the mastery of French diction and transform the study of diction from a pedantic, syllabic production of language into an expressive communication of the text, a worthy goal for students and teachers alike. Deborah Williamson is Professor of Voice at Baylor University and has taught French diction at the university level for more than twenty years.

Do nizetti's Lucrezia Borgia was premiered at Milan's Teatro alla Scala on 26 December 1833 and is considered one of the composer's most important and innovative operas of the 1830s. Although, because of censorship issues, particularly in the south of Italy, it was initially slow to become popular, by the late 1830s it had become one of the composer's most popular operas, both in Italy and abroad, and remained an essential part of the composer's oeuvre until at least the end of the nineteenth century. Remarkable for its daring subject matter (with an unconventional, forceful heroine), it is also renowned for its challenging mixture of the comic and the tragic, something very unusual at the time and clearly an important influence on Giuseppe Verdi's middle period masterpieces. The present reduction for voice and piano derives from the critical edition of the score, recently published in this catalog: is based on Donizetti's autograph manuscript (housed in the Ricordi Archives in Milan), on the libretto for the premiere, on several printed editions of voice and piano, and on numerous additional scores of the period. It presents for the first time all the numerous additions that the composer made to the score over the course of ten years: a fascinating record of his changing music dramatic attitudes during this period. There is also a synthetic historical reconstruction of the genesis of the opera and of the description of the Sources as well as a selection of most interest to singers of Critical Commentary Notes.Rappresenta ta per la prima volta al Teatro alla Scala il 26 dicembre 1833, Lucrezia Borgia e considerata una fra le piu importanti e innovative opere di Donizetti. Sebbene le resistenze della censura, soprattutto nel sud Italia, ne causarono inizialmente una lenta diffusione, dalla fine degli anni '30 dell'Ottocento essa divenne uno dei lavori piu popolari e significativi del compositore e tale rimase fino alla fine del XIX secolo. Notevole per il suo audace soggetto (con un'eroina non convenzionale e dalla forte personalita) essa e rinomata anche per l'impegnativa commistione di comico e tragico, un tratto piuttosto inusuale per l'epoca, che ebbe una chiara influenza sui capolavori verdiani di meta secolo. La presente riduzione per canto e pianoforte e condotta sull'edizione critica della partitura, da poco pubblicata in questo stesso catalogo: si basa sul manoscritto autografo di Donizetti (conservato presso l'Archivio Storico Ricordi di Milano), sul libretto della prima rappresentazione, su alcune riduzioni a stampa per canto e pianoforte e su varie altre fonti dell'epoca. L'edizione presenta per la prima volta tutte le aggiunte che il compositore apporto alla partitura nel corso di dieci anni, costituendo un'affascinante testimonianza dei mutevoli approcci di Donizetti alla materia drammatico musicale durante questa fase della sua carriera. Il volume comprende una sintesi della ricostruzione della genesi storica dell'opera e della descrizione delle fonti e una selezione di Note del Commento Critico fra quelle piu funzionali alle esigenze di cantanti e pianisti accompagnatori.
