what a cool idea!! Thank you! I loved Fanny Mendelssohn's.

Feminists argue that only females were victims during the centuries. That is a very narrow minded view of history. Boys till this day are mutilated without their consent.

Women. You castrate me?...

LEADER. Merci!

Is it Art, 🎭?

This may help us better understand for the future.

"There's a lot of farting during the night, and the farts resound with thunderous might." -- W.A. Mozart Nobody should be surprised by Mozart's love of bathroom humor. Everyone is multi-faceted. And there's really no contradiction between beautiful music and vulgar humor anyway; why should we expect a great musician to also be a dour prude? Also, that humor is pretty universally human. The oldest recorded joke is a fart-joke, and most people find this stuff funny to some degree.

If a boy had only two choices to be a sailor or a castrato, consider the terrible conditions of sailors such as filthy conditions and rotten food crawling with maggots, and scurvey, the boy just might be dilligent in his singing studies and voluntarily become a castrato.

Amazing video!!!

Loved the video, very informative. Do you have a video explaining the passaggio?

Great video!

Great video! You explained things clearly and with a sense of humor. Very enjoyable!

Schöne Stimme, bitte noch die deutsche Aussprache üben!

Opera did not castrate young boys. Parents had them castrated it was to sing in church. Later opera flourished with these voices.

1:28 I think you showed an image of Claudio Monteverdi instead of Jacopo Peri.

Hi! Thank you for the video. I'm going to be auditioning for my College choir and had zero idea what they meant by "Prepare an Art Song", so this helped a LOT! What songs would you reccomend for a Soprano? Or songs that you'd find tends to show off voice capabilities? I want to find a song that kind of reminds me of musical theatre (as that's what I usually tend to sing, but unfortunately can't audition with this time :,)). Thank you again!

The man who really changed opera,and how to make an Opera,was Gluck. Forgotten most of the time

Thankyou; very well explained.

Your thoughtful presentation always makes the history behind the music relevant.

Love this!!

Ahhh… l’mour…

The mic was unfortunately clipping your friend's voice so I couldn't fully appreciate her timbre.

❤

I heard about this some years ago. The fact that it didn't stop until the 1900s is even more astonishing.

If there's any way you could turn up the volume on your mic, that'd be AMAZING! You're kind of quiet, so I have to turn the sound up all the way and even still it's hard to hear you... then when an ad comes on, it's blaring hahaha. Just an idea, if possible! :)

Thanks! Oe of my favorite art song composers is Ralph Vaughan Williams! In fact, when I was choosing music for a recital with my voice teacher we had selected a solo, plus "A ew Life" from the musical Jekyll & Hyde. I discovered half way through learning the music that the poem Williams had used was written by Robert Louis Stevenson, who created the source material for Frank Wildhorne's musical, "Jekyll & Hyde".

I always was taught to learn what you are singing about - translation to the other words of a different language. Always. I didn't feel validated as a singer if I didn't know what I was singing about. I wrote them in under a word either in English and used phonetics for proper pronunciation of the other language. I never-ever sang a song or piece without knowing what I am singing about. It makes all the difference when performing, especially in a different language when it comes to emoting a certain emotion. Thanks Angie. Glad I caught up with this one!

Ophelia sure is a lamenting soul. Loved the video!

Thank you for making this video! Just wanted to chime in, that as a pro opera singer that has sung nearly 70 roles, I have a developed a completely different process that focuses less on text, academia or plunking out notes. There are just many ways to get to the goal! Best of luck to you! P.S. I listen to a lot of recordings, the older, the better!

Cracking to know that Schubert was "talented" - and such a relief! What's "Schubert's art song"? Is it anything like "arthouse" cinema? If so, what's Schubert's Grindhouse (apart from me warbling and grunting and having a damn good scratch in the bath...who's nicked the nail-clippers this time? Must I be reduced to chewing my toes again?) But I'm immensely inspired to know that you can have a deep dive in three minutes flat. At this rate I could break the world record, and I can't even swim. Amongst so many jewels on Schubert that stand out here on UA-cam, might I recommend for starters "About Schubert" by Per Tengstrand, and a brand-new series from London: "Schubert in Life and Songs"? Captivating a fresh, nervous audience comes not from baby-talk, but by telling a story that deserves to be told and drawing your punters in like a master story-teller. My heart bleeds for Fewdozenz below, craving to know more and being patronised with "Music, Arts and PE" as one rusted wreckers' yard of a subject. Welcome to the future... But did you know that the deepest dive ever is 332 meters, set by Ahmed Gabr in 2014? Who says we don't live in a perfect world? 😵‍💫😜

Don’t you hate it when your work is being bastardized and then adored by the masses….

Honored to be the first to comment Angie and Mozart!! Great history and enjoyable comments by Mr. M. I love to sing! Took voice and continued a modest career singing with local theaters and eventually singing with the New York Choral Society for many years. I still sing and have been producing my own solo concerts for a few years now. I enjoy brining those beautiful soprano arias and poignant art songs to young and old alike.

Great video! :)

So no one can perfect two different fach? And would be interesting to hear the same fach from different people

So glad to view this - an interesting lesson on voice. Motzy was so funny. The accompanist, Angie and the guest singer are absolutely amazing! I think my fach is generally between you both!

Wonderful information! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!!

It did not just happen back then. It happened to me. Emasculation physically as a child. IT HAPPENS. God protect the children especially from the insane.

It took a couple of visits to view the entire video on my side with time, but I did watch it through because of the most sensitive discussion of artistry, musicianship and mentoring. Where would any of us be without our teachers and mentors! It was an interesting deep dive for sure, and I must admit, the music at the end was wonderful! Worth the watch - no matter how long it took me to view in its entirety. Thank you Angie! Happy New Year Mozty!

Such a cool interview! Bob seems like an incredibly inspiring person. I love seeing the impact teachers have on students. Sounds like he had a pretty great student, too, Angie! P.S. I was wondering if we'd see Angie "the tuba chick" pull out a tuba 🙂, haha!

Well done! Very educational and great presentation. Thank you

This just in! I came across a reference to Jerome writing that before he translated the Hebrew Bible into the Latin Vulgate, he visited Jewish communities to hear how they recite scripture. He complemented their group metrical chants of the Bible's song-poetry. So I decided to try applying the same manner of prosodic recitation to the songs and psalms in the Vulgate... and I found that they are metrical as well. *head explodes* Also news: I figured out the correct recitation rhythm of Hebrew song-poetry. It took some input from Linguistics and a strict calculation of syllable length according to the vowel pointing and accent-punctuation. Yup: the psalms are metrical and much more rhythmically sophisticated than Greek song-poetry! They're quite modern in variety and taste, imo.

I've recently produced my own "Arias & Art Songs" concerts... my research online had brought me to your channel on The Silver Aria. Your videos are not only enlightening (thank you for all your time and research, and Mozart's history buff) but enriching and sheer delight. Yes, I am one of those in the opera world who learned about art song many a moon ago. Fun stuff.

A delightful (not too) deep dive into the wonderful origins of the popular carol. Quite interesting about the society news! I really appreciate these respites of music culture on these levels, so thank you kindly. And a baton nod to maestro for having a sense of humor! Merry holidays!
