2 Dirait-on Study Guide Title: Dirait-on Set of Songs: Les Chanson des Roses Composer: Morten Lauridsen Poet: Rainer Maria Rilke Voicing: SATB Historical Background: Rainer Maria Rilke lived and wrote around the turn of the century in central Europe, blending old ideas with popular ones. He was Austrian and wrote mostly in German but also wrote poems in French. This cycle revolves around human interaction with the idea of the rose and reflections upon its bearing on us as humans. Concepts: Skills: Advanced Dynamic and Tempo Markings deliberamente = deliberately, with meaning meno mosso, molto meno mosso = less motion a d much less motion, respectively poco a poco accel. e cresc. = little by little/gradually accelerate and grow in volumn tempo primo = return to the original tempo after a ritardando or accelerando Anacrusis = a note or small group of notes before the downbeat that anticipate the melody or phrase. Caesura = a deliberate pause in the music, brief or otherwise. Divisi = Vocal sections sing separate parts. Fermata = a note or chord sustained or held out for effect. Homophony = all parts move cohesively. Homorhythm = all voices sing the same rhythm at once. Points of Imitation = entrances of the same musical idea that are staggered. Polyphony = multiple melodies being sounded simultaneously. Rubato = meaning robbed time, a feeling of pushing and pulling of the tempo. Unison = all voices sing the same melody. Blending This piece is filled with unique and awe-inspiring harmonies which won't take effect if the choir doesn't blend. French Diction Tenets Nasal Vowels The soft palette lowers and directs sound through the nasal cavity, Ns are NOT pronounced. 'abandon', 'touchant', 'dirait-on' Liaison If a word begins with a vowel, the last consonant from the preceding word gets tacked on to it. 'touchant aux', reflet éclairé, 'dirait on' Mixed vowels The tongue forms one vowel while the lips form another. 'eur'=e+u Part Independence In this piece, parts don't move together and often disrupt the others such as from Letters C to D. To counter this, it's important to be able to maintain a part with confidence without interference. Singing Rubato Counted as expressive markings, this piece is full of artistic manipulations of the tempo meaning the singer must be able to sing in rhythm but also out of tempo. Upper and Lower Phonation (Head and Chest Voice) This piece involves quick, challenging register changes. In order for the piece to hold together, the ability to connect head and chest voice becomes critical, particularly for tenors. Turn to back...
3 Form: The piece uses two melodies in various way. The first section of the piece is the first melody sung first by the men, then by the women. The second section of the piece is the second melody, sung first in unison, then in forms of a round. The middle section of the piece is both themes plus an extra tenor theme all in polyphony with one another. A transition leads back into the second section of the piece followed by a closing. Describing and Analysing: In the space below, come up with as many descriptive qualities as you can to describe the piece and/or moments in the piece. Immediately associate this with musical terminology we've discussed over the course of the unit. Example: There's a really intense moment on page 11 because of the fermata at the top of the page.
4 Dirait-on Unit Learning Goals 1. Students will learn to actively describe music and musical events to then convert them into musical terminology and techniques. (NS 6) 2. Students will be able to sing Dirait-on with beautiful vocal technique and musicianship accurately executing all skills associated with the piece. (NS 1) 3. Students will be able to evaluate their own performance with specific details and ideas of how to achieve more musical performances in the future. (NS 7) 4. Students will be exposed to the concept of attaching external meaning to a piece of music and its musical ideas, establishing a deeper sense of purpose in music. (NS 6, 8, 9) 5. Students will understand relative concepts and skills to Dirait-on and be able to point them out and perform them in the music. (NS 5, 6)

Then for adjective, use the terms we've learned in class to describe how the composer achieves these adjectives. Section 5: Skills Employment 1. On the lines below, name the three techniques of French diction we worked the most on in Dirait-on and explain what each calls for. Give examples from the text of the music On the lines below, describe the differences between head, chest and mixed voice. Articulate a place or places in the Dirait-on where your use of register change was challenged.

14 Related Reading Assignment The Language of Flowers Henrietta Dumont H.C. Peck & T. Bliss, 1851 Purpose: To practice attaching symbolic ideas (in this case, aesthetically appealing plants) to music and vice versa. Symbolism is powerful social and literary device. From before the 19 th century and onward, using plants and flowers in poetry, fictional prose, and music has been used to indicate different emotions and implications. Our piece, Dirait-on, is from a song cycle about roses, indicating that it's about beauty in love. Look through the manual The Language of Flowers and find four that would be relative to your current state (example: The vervain because I'm enchanted by choral music, The cactus because I ardently love Morten Lauridsen, The peony because I'm angry at Mr. Rigsby for giving obscure assignments, etc.) Then connect your choices to separate pieces of music (also of your choice; must be appropriate for class) and write in detail how they relate to each other, pointing at moments in the music. (example: The rosemary is appropriate for Josh Groban's song 'To Where You Are' because it represents remembrance. The music crescendoes as the narrator's memory of his loved one gets stronger. ) Your assignment must be six paragraphs at least. This means a paragraph per selection with an introduction and conclusion. You must clearly indicate what pieces of music you're connecting your choices to and there must be a variety of content (example: love, affection, adoration and heartache are essentially similar but love, riches, grief and truth make a variety). The reflection must be typed and double-spaced using 12 point, Times New Roman font. If you have a problem with accessing a computer or the internet, speak with Mr. Rigsby right away!
