Practical Reflections on the Figurative Art of Singing  By: Giambattista Mancini

“I have nothing more to say, except to encourage the young students and lovers of this art to apply themselves with earnestness and good will, in order that they may some day, become an honor to them selves, to their country and to their art!”

Observations on the Florid song By: Pier Francesco Tosi

“Mind this, O my beloved Singers! For it is to You only, who are inclined to study, that I have addressed myself. This was the Doctrine of the School of those Professors, whom, by way of Reproach, some[180] mistaken Persons call Ancients. Observe carefully its Rules, examine strictly its Precepts, and, if not blinded by Prejudice, you will see that this School ought to sing in Tune, to put forth the Voice, to make the Words understood, to express, to use proper Gesture, to perform in Time, to vary on its Movement, to compose, and to study the Pathetick, in which alone Taste and Judgment triumph. Confront this School with yours, and if its Precepts should not be sufficient to instruct you, learn what's wanting from the Modern.” The nerdy vocal pedagogy major in me just loved this excerpt.

"Girls are trained to say, ‘I wrote this, but it’s probably really stupid.’ Well, no, you wouldn’t write a novel if you thought it was really stupid. Men are much more comfortable going, ‘I wrote this book because I have a unique perspective that the world needs to hear.’ Girls are taught from the age of seven that if you get a compliment, you don’t go, ‘Thank you’, you go, ‘No, you’re insane.’"

Obsessed with this song at the moment. Shamelessly in love with a pop song.

You did not love me, You just loved the fact that I was here for you. You loved the attention I gave you, You loved the fact that I would drop anything for you. You did not love me, but god, I loved you.
