The Application of Vocal Works in Playing and Singing Training

Abstract

Music is an essential component of human culture, and vocal music, as an important form of music, carries rich emotions and feelings, possessing unique charm in expressing and conveying emotion. In vocal music learning, solfeggio is a crucial training method that enhances learners’ visual and auditory perception of musical works, as well as their understanding and mastery of elements such as melody, harmony, and rhythm, thereby improving their singing proficiency and musical literacy. In the multi-voice training of solfeggio, “playing and singing” holds unique significance and value as an important training format. This paper aims to explore the significance of “playing and singing” in multi-voice solfeggio training and its application in vocal works. It elaborates on the importance of “playing and singing” in vocal training and compares the differences between vocal works and “playing and singing” in solfeggio classes, laying a foundation for subsequent analysis. The study focuses on two representative multi-voice playing and singing works: the Chinese art song Plum Blossoms in the Snow and the foreign art song Du Ring an meinem Finger. By analyzing the musical characteristics and structures of these two works, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the singing techniques and requirements of multi-voice playing and singing. Finally, the study explores the practical application of playing and singing training in solfeggio within vocal works. By introducing the functions and methods of playing and singing training in solfeggio and using Plum Blossoms in the Snow and Du Ring an meinem Finger as case studies, this paper elucidates the role and significance of playing and singing training in vocal music learning. This study aims to provide references and guidance for music students, helping them better learn solfeggio, vocal music, and playing and singing, thereby improving their musical literacy and singing proficiency.
