Fragments of an Autobiography

Abstract

PANSERON, who lived from I796 to I859, was one of the famed Parisian teachers of his time, and his vocal exercises were so highly esteemed that they were adopted by Cherubini for the singing classes in the Paris Conservatoire, which led to their introduction into all the conservatoires of France and Belgium.It is probable that the present edition is the most complete that has been issued, for the exercises have had the experienced editing of Mr. Randegger, himself a teacher of world-wide reputation, who has added breath and accentuation marks and phrasing indications.The exercises are written in two parts with pianoforte accompaniment, and are suitable for a soprano and mezzo-soprano, or tenor and sopranos or tenor and baritone, and, of course, could be rendered with any number of voices to each part.Their use will not only conduce to enrichment of vocal tone and good style, but will also lead to firmness of attack and appreciation of rhythm, two matters in which most vocalists are inclined to be somewhat lax.Meditation.From "The Light of Life" (Lux Christi).Composed by Edward Elgar.
