- Summary:
- "Polish Pronunciation Guide for Singers, written by Laura Kafka-Price and Maksymilian Krzak, offers approachable and consistent explanations of Polish language pronunciation. The book presents the sounds of Polish, along with essential information on relevant aspects of performing in this language. Although the book focuses on the 20 songs of Karol Szymanowski's Rymy dziecięce, op. 49 for voice and piano, singers armed with this knowledge will be successful performing any Polish repertoire. These delightful songs composed between 1922-1923, because of their concise form and narrow vocal range, are an excellent choice for singers who are just beginning their journey with singing Polish repertoire. Intended to recreate a classroom learning environment, the comprehensive companion website features high-quality voiceover recordings of verbal warm-up exercises specific to each song read by Maksymilian Krzak and pianist Tomasz Robak, who also provides the piano accompaniment, intoning of the songs, and recitations of the poems. The publication includes a Rymy dziecięce, op. 49 score with the original Polish text and never before available English score translation"-- Provided by publisher.
