In Soviet Russia, folk music was categorized as being democratic (of the people) or proletarian (of the working class) as opposed to art music, which was often regarded as being bourgeois.

White Voice
White voice (, , ) or white singing (, , ) is a contemporary name, used usually in Eastern Europe, for a traditional singing style. Alternative names for the traditional folk technique of singing are: open voice, full voice, natural voice. Technique The technique is based on an open throat and free volume with a bright color. It spans all vocal registers. Sometimes it is close to a controlled screaming or calling. Air escapes through the fully open throat. The upper and medium resonators, laryngeal cartilage, bones and air cavities in the head and throat are used. A characteristic feature of this kind of voice is its brightness, clarity (not in the meaning of voice color) or intensity.

Field work shows that the style is more complex than just singing "on nose" and loud. It depends ma ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
