I. Objectives
Donizetti is one of the greatest Italian opera composer in early nineteen century, and a key figure in the development of Italian opera. He was particularly famous for his skill at fast writing operatic works. Most people are familiar with his beautiful melodies of arias, but his effort towards arts songs has played an important role in the development of art songs. Since I started singing Donizetti’s art songs, I’m deeply fascinated by their gracefulness and profoundness. On the one hand, I wish to sing more of his songs. And on the other hand, there are very few music performances or research on his art songs. Therefore I begin collecting data to do a basic analyze
and interpretation on the music context.
II. Resources
Books, research papers, scores, theses, auditory and visual recordings on Donizetti’s art songs.
III. Methods
1. A simple musical analyze to the musical structures and context.
2. Practice singing and go asking experts and professors on vocal skills.
3. Watching or listening to the recordings.
4. A bibliography of Donizetti’s art songs.
IV. Outcomes
1. To understand the musical features on Donizetti’s art songs.
2. To interpret Donizetti’s art songs in order to grasp the best way of “bel canto” singing.
3. To help singers interpreting Donizetti’s art songs.
4. To enter the “bel canto” world by basing on Donizetti’s art songs.
Key words: art song, early romantic period, “bel canto” singing, Italian opera, Donizetti
