Abstract [en]

This presentation discusses features of the singing style in Swedish folk singing. This also leads to an attempt to describe some aspects of teaching folk singing style. In addition, it proposes a model for describing a singing style by combining particular features into a whole – a “singing style map” – as a compound concept. Individual features may be shared with other styles, allowing them to be combined into yet other singing styles. The presentation focuses on describing the features of the singing style from the singer's perspective and their usefulness for singing. It argues that, in folk singing, the singer’s voice quality and personality will always shine through even if stylistic features are shared within the style, which implies no contradiction. The features and the model describe both musical and technical aspects of singing, e.g. language as a tool for musical expression, voice mode, articulation, ornamentation, meter and phrasing, etc.
