About this exposition

Name: Carolijn Moulen Janssen Main subject: Master Theory of Music Research supervisor: Patrick van Deurzen Title of research: The use of relative solmisation in post-tonal repertoire of Using relative solmisation when singing post-tonal repertoire Research question: In what way can relative solmisation be used when singing post-tonal repertoire? Abstract The aim of this research is to try to find a way in which relative solmisation can be used when singing post-tonal repertoire. In my research I first give an overview of the different tools used to sing post-tonal music. I then discuss the two main figures in the field of post-tonal aural skills and their main textbooks: Lars Edlund and his books Modus Novus and Choral Studies and Michael Friedmann and his Ear Training for Twentieth-Century Music. I also asked aural skills teachers of universities and conservatories what tools they use when singing post-tonal music and whether they use Edlund’s and Friedmann’s textbooks. I then started linking post-tonal solfège to relative solmisation by formulating guidelines for the application of relative solmisation. I will show some recordings of Sing & Play examples of my students.
