Beginning in the 1930s, standards became an important part of many singers’ repertoires. Singers needed to know and be able to perform classic songs by George and Ira Gershwin, Cole Porter, Jerome Kern, and others. Each singer interpreted the song differently and offered a unique take on it.
Choose one of the following standards and listen to two different singers’ interpretations of it. Compare and contrast those singers’ versions in terms of form, vocal style, instrumentation, expression, and any other relevant parameters.
Choose one –
Option 1: Cole Porter, “I Get a Kick Out of You”
“I Get a Kick Out of You” Performed by Ella Fitzgerald
“I Get a Kick Out of You” Performed by Ethel Merman
Option 2: George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin, “The Man I Love”
“The Man I Love” Performed by Billie Holiday
“The Man I Love” Performed by Peggy Lee
Your responses must be in essay format. Your goal on this written assignment is to sound knowledgeable and professional. Proofread your work. Take into account that grammar and syntax are factored into the grading of your assignment. Do not use colloquialisms or slang. For example, the term “hook” is not a proper musical term; do not use the term “hook” in your written assignments. Use timestamps (example, “0:34-1:24”) to cite specific instances in the recording to support your opinions and answers. Take for instance the statement, “Ella Fitzgerald sings really well which brings out the deep meaning of the lyrics.” Okay, but what is the deep meaning of the lyrics, to you? “Sings really well” will not receive credit as it has no specific meaning. Get specific by writing about: timbre (tone quality), range (high vs. low), fast notes vs. slow notes, and/or dynamics (soft volume vs. loud). Don’t make the reader (me) read your mind as to what you mean.
Warning: do not use phrases or words that have no specific meaning such as “upbeat”, “smooth”, or “lively”. These words have no specific meaning and do not exhibit any understanding of the course text. Unspecific terms such as “upbeat”, “smooth”, “relaxed”, “lively” make your writing weak and come across as filler. Use of any of these terms must be immediately followed by specifics (instances in the track, specific criteria) that define the term’s usage. Otherwise, points will be deducted. My strong suggestion is to simply avoid unspecific terms such as “upbeat”, “smooth”, “relaxed”, or “lively”.
