The dramatic tenor has an easiness on showing the drama and the passion aspect of the aria. The lyric tenor has a refined phrasing and beauty of line that fits well the character and the belcanto style.","PeriodicalId":440876,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Transilvania University of Braşov.

The drawn portrait of the puccinian heroine is based on the sound explosions that are closely related to the intensity of the orchestral commentary, emitting brilliant sonorous sounds of a unique expressiveness. In terms of vocal and artistic qualities, the singer's skills consist of singing nuanced depending on the word, color variations (light or dark), the use of contrasting intensities combined with vocal polychromy, psychological knowledge of the character and self for a complete, successful mastery. These considerations cannot be dominated by the effort made in supporting the verist repertoire. The depth of his musical thinking reflects the significance of revelation through musical expressiveness, melody, rhythm, tempo and drama.","PeriodicalId":440876,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Transilvania University of Braşov.

Beyond that, greater control of the tuning and development of the ability to react quickly in the process of correction during a concert was observed with this pedagogical approach.

In order for music to be a therapeutic means, we believe that it must become a musical experience and facilitate access to deep areas of the self, as well as raise questions and problems of extra-musical origin. Thus, the music that has become a metaphor can resonate with questions that the therapist can use in the health promotion process, the final and central goal of music therapy. Metaphors, above all, can be used in everyday life to add depth, richness, and meaning to our worlds, being a figure of speech that is used in order to help people understand complex or abstract concepts in a more relatable or understandable way.","PeriodicalId":440876,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Transilvania University of Braşov.

However, it was not only the idea of creation that aroused the interest of these artists, but also the existence of Chaos, which is believed to have preceded the act of creation. In the France of Louis XIV, arts and music were profoundly influenced by Classical Antiquity, as proven by the artworks of this era. Artists and composers sought to depict the creation of the Universe, often resorting to the theory of elements – however, this was subordinated to the ideas of the Catholic doctrine. An interesting musical representation of Chaos and the creation of the Universe belongs to Jean-Féry Rebel (1666- 1747), who played an important part in the evolution of the French Baroque. In the simfonie nouvelle for orchestra Les Élements (1737-1738), the composer evokes the state of chaos that preceded the act of creation, using certain harmonic, melodic, and rhythmic constructions. The entire work reflects the aesthetic ideal of the French Baroque, that approaches art as harmonious imitation of nature. In Rebel’s work the primordial elements gradually become distinct, each receives a clear musical and rhythmic profile, allowing them to be easily identified throughout the work. Rebel also associates these elements to certain dances, as can be observed in the musical numbers that follow the Chaos, the fluidity and grace of the music reflecting the balanced and refined dance movements of the period. Rebel’s musical evocation points to future representations of this theme, at the same time containing several features that prove the composer’s visionary musical imagination.","PeriodicalId":440876,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Transilvania University of Braşov.

In terms of the vocality of the characters, Verdi creates remarkable solo roles, adapted to the various dramaturgical requirements. The role of Amelia is a key character, being assigned an extensive vocal discourse. Her vocality reflects a noticeable difference from the Verdian patterns used in the construction of female roles, up to “Il Trovatore”. The suppression of the well-known “cabaletta”, the abandonment of the demonstrations of vocal virtuosity and the intensification of the vocal writing in the middle register, offer a plus of uniqueness to this role. Thus, a new vocal pattern is materialized among the female characters representative in Giuseppe Verdi’s work, leaving behind the vocal portraits of the heroines inspired from the belcanto singing “tradition”. In this study we will analyze from a structural and interpretive point of view the main solo moments of the role.","PeriodicalId":440876,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Transilvania University of Braşov.
