About this exposition

In this research, I tried to give as concisely as possible an insight into the century of baroque coloraturas (1659.-1759.). The time period is chosen arbitrarily. I have selected five, in my opinion, the most significant composers in the span of the century because a longer time interval would be too general for this form of research. These five composers are: Henry Purcell, J.Ph.Rameau, A.Vivaldi, J.S.Bach and G.F.Handel, who form an indispensable part of the vocal Baroque repertoire.The research is divided into several chapters dealing with a variety of topics, from the historical context to technical exercises and the proposed repertoire. In order to come up with the questions that plague singing students, I did a research on students of the Music Academy in Pula. The results of the survey and the analysis of the collected data are attached in the last chapter. The research itself made me aware of my own mistakes and answered many questions (How to withstand long coloraturas on one breath, how to achieve good coloratura articulation, how to perform coloratura accurately, how the composer probably envisioned his works). The research is written in the form of guide and the exposition contains various scores, graphs, audio and video materials. I believe that potential readers will find the content interesting and useful given that the entire research was done for educational purposes.
