Chacun possède une voix, et il n'y a en pas deux semblables au monde. Cependant, depuis la période baroque, on a commencé à classer les voix par famille en fonction de leur tessiture, de leur couleur. Mieux connaître et reconnaître les différentes voix d'hommes et de femmes, leurs spécificités, leurs tessitures, comprendre leur fonction comme soliste, dans l'opéra, le concert, a cappella, avec orchestre ou en musique de chambre, tels sont les objectifs de cet ouvrage.La présentation de chaque voix, allant de la voix de soprano à la basse et de la musique de chambre jusqu'au grand choeur, est accompagnée d'un extrait musical. Ces extraits, d'une grande diversité stylistique d'oeuvres créées entre 1950 et 2009, nous permettent de faire le point sur les diverses approches de la voix aujourd'hui, entre tradition et innovation. / Chant/Vocal/Choeur / Livre + Cd
