Talking in music

The Listening Service - En podcast af BBC Radio 3 - Søndage

Kategorier:

Tom Service explores talking in music - from Gilbert and Sullivan's patter songs to high-art ‘sprechgesang’ by Schoenberg, from Mozart's recitative to the rap of present-day LA. Anyway, who's to say what is talking and what is singing? Archive recordings of WB Yeats reveal him intoning his poetry melodically, while Ken Nordine devised what he called ‘Word Jazz’.
