This course aims to provide an overview of the different scientific approaches of research on singers. However, its main focus will be the analysis and "reconstruction" of vocal profiles of selected singers of the Viennese court chapel between 1700-1750. This time span is characterized by an unprecedented presence of highly qualified (mostly Italian) singers, some becoming stable members of the Hofkapelle.
The main goal of this course will be to discuss methods of research on singers, to learn how to work with and interpret various sources.
