News Archive: Page 8 of 272/15/99: REC Music Foundation Grant for RealAudio clips
Happy Lincoln's Birthday, Valentine's Day, and President's Day! Although I have not posted for more than a week, a great deal has gone on behind the scenes.
The most exciting news is that we have gotten a grant from the REC
Music Foundation to obtain the equipment needed to add RealAudio
clips to songs in the song catalog (download player here)! If a song
interests you but you don't know what the composer's style is, you will be able to listen
to a clip of some of his or her songs, maybe even of the song you are interested in!
I, as well as the REC Music Foundation, want you to have enough information to be willing
to go out on a limb and try a new composer's work. I am very excited about the new
possibilities and appreciative of the opportunity to increase the functionality of the
site. Hopefully song clips will begin appearing at the beginning of March.
Other news items are a number of additions to
the bibliography, catalog, and link lists. Two books, one a singing technique book used at the Spoleto festival and
one an annotated singing bibliography that is
apparently smaller but more thorough in its reviews than the one at this site, are now in
the catalog. Three song cycles by Daron Hagen were contributed by Carl Fischer to
the catalog but I've only had time to add basic notes for two on-line: Muldoon Songs (high baritone or tenor and piano) and Three Silent Things (soprano and piano quartet).
The other will be in by next weekend. And I've added a link on the opera page to
another opera site that was
submitted to me.
That's the news for now. Have a great day!

[click for top of page] 2/5/99: Site Update
We have had a day or two free in preparation
for a performance and so we've taken advantage of it. Karyn has been learning
knitting with my grandmother so my own companionable activity has been to work on
the site a bit.
Two months ago a site visitor sent me a list of over 100 books, many within the vocal training category.
In addition to my being very busy over the past few months, the size of the
classical vocal training category was making a page that could take almost a minute to
load--I was worried about making the page even bigger. However, I figured out a
solution this week and have added almost all of the new books. Unfortunately there
are virtually no reviews yet for these books. In any case the books bring the
bibliography count up to over 750 books. The new books are mostly in the various
vocal training sections.
The bibliography has changed so that the
category lists link to the full information for each book, rather than containing the
information themselves. This brings the size of the category lists down
considerably, although the bibliography's title index and the author index are still both
pretty big documents. Two new categories in the bibliography, Classical Vocal
Training (1900-1949) and Non English Language Classical Vocal Training, also divide up the
books a little more.
The rate of vistiors to the site have doubled
again in the past couple of weeks. Interesting site statistics (to me at least!):
the top nine bibliography pages from ninth place to first are Poetry, Anthologies in the
Catalog, Translations in English, Voice Classification, Opera Resources, Audition
Preparation, Diction, Pop Vocal Training, Classical Vocal Training. The art song
catalog is a bit more popular than the bibliography. The most used links pages are
the Opera and the Singing pages. The newsletter has subscribers from America
(surprise!), Canada, Europe, and even on the other hemisphere of the globe. And 27%
of the users of the site are named "Cecilia." No, just kidding about the
last one.
We rehease a Marriage of Figaro tomorrow with
orchestra, then perform it Sunday.

A visual change to the site's header and footer
will hopefully clarify to the casual visitor the importance of the bibliography
("Books" above) and the art song catalog ("Catalog" above).
Hopefully this news page will not be completely lost because of the change. Other
developments still too early to announce.... Meanwhile I'm trying to get Magnifico
in my head along with the Mouvements du Coeur cycle.
[click for top of page] 1/29/99: Site News
I republished the database today because I've
added some Vocalist reviews--so, no new items, but Vocalist reviews for those that have
'em for over half the items in the bibliography.
Now back to working on music.
