Abstract

This scientific article examines the evolution of vocal techniques in the history of the musical art of Europe, covering the period from antiquity to the present. The research aims to deepen the understanding of the dynamic mechanisms of transformation of musical practices and their socio-cultural correlations. Based on an extensive analysis of historical sources, vocal parts and archival audio recordings, a quantitative and qualitative analysis of vocal techniques is carried out. The study includes a detailed overview of the use of the voice in various historical contexts, starting with Gregorian chorales in the VI century and ending with operatic and modern popular genres of the XXI century. Empirical data are based on the evaluation of more than 200 vocal works, of which 34% belong to the Renaissance period, 26% to the Baroque era, 17% to the classical period, 12% to Romanticism and 11% to the modern period. The key parameters of the analysis include the modes of voice registration, dynamic relations, the use of vibrato and other technical characteristics. This article is a comprehensive approach to the study and interpretation of vocal methods within the framework of historical evolution, which has significant implications for the theory of musical art and pedagogy.
