Mark in Seattle asked... >Then what is a 'coloratura'? Mark, within each type of vocal ranges there are sub-categories. The term soprano, while typically referring to the highest ranges of female and young boy's voices is divided further into sections within sections. The highest female voice found is the extra high and light coloratura soprano and the mezzo-soprano is found in the lower registers of the high end of female voices. There are many divisions of voice ranges both male and female, Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Baritone, Bass and each of those is sub-divided based on the best quality of sound from the vocal chords and the body-types which resonate the sounds emanating from within. It has to do with frequencies and it's quite a science. If we want to get into it deeply we could talk about "chest voice" and "head voice" and tension of the vocal cord, force of glottal closure indicated by the glottal resistance, and expiratory air pressure. But somehow stripping it down to science seems to take away the magic I feel when I hear a particularly lovely aria. The Gregorian chanters seemed to do well dividing their chanters into "parts." Operas and choral music depend on the richness of sound provided by a good blend of the different ranges. Then for others... parts is parts...

He seemed kind of shy. I think it was a surreal moment to many of us there .... meeting JMDLers and singing Joni tunes. We we're all more or less strangers but yet felt uniquely bonded. On the ride back to the hotel that evening I sat next to Kenny in the car. Something or someone bought up the movie " Serial Mom" (a John Waters film) we both looked at each other and said "you do not wear white after Labor Day" and chuckled. My first words with Kenny! A pleasant memory I will cherish.

Comment from the sender: Thought you'd be interested in this info at IMDb.com. Enjoy! =============================================================== Summary: Genuine Art Film Comment: Years come and go, but "Marienbad" seems to remain the same--intriguing, challenging, stimulating, and moving. Alain Resnais' classic emerges as a timeless work, with a memorable score (utilizing unique pipe organ music) by Francis Seyrig and striking photography by Sacha Vierny. Delphine Seyrig and Giorgio Albertazzi play out their "roles" amidst dark corridors, empty halls, baroque statuary and geometric gardens. Time seems to stand still in the world of Resnais and Alain Robbe-Grillet, as our rapt attention is focused on its distinctive unfoldment. The meaning seems to be in the work and the solution in the problem. We simply take it in and allow it to speak for itself. "Marienbad" is one of those films which requires a full- size widescreen and an excellent print to weave its haunting magic. It's a one-of-a-kind film experience, and one to which one can return again and again to enjoy as a mystery, romance or meditation.
