Abstract
Engagement with songs through performance and analysis is a key component of music curricula worldwide. Music learning has a significant impact on a number of student competencies, including enhancing students’ communicative abilities as they learn to manipulate, express, and share sound in both voice qualities and lyrics. However, common analyses of singing performance rarely focus exclusively on voice quality, and there is no systematic framework which considers how emotional meaning in lyrics interacts with emotional meaning in voice quality. Drawing on systemic functional semiotics, this article proposes a unified theoretical framework for examining how emotional meaning is co-constructed in the voice and lyrics in singing performance. This framework provides a novel approach for discussing and teaching song analysis and performance. The framework will be illustrated through the analysis of the interaction between voice quality and lyrics in the song “Someone Like You” performed by Adele.
通过表演和分析来参与歌曲是世界各地音乐课程的关键组成部分。音乐学习对学生的许多能力有着重要的影响，包括在学生学习操纵、表达和分享声音时提高他们的沟通能力，包括音质和歌词。然而，对歌唱表演的常见分析很少只关注音质，也没有系统的框架来考虑歌词中的情感意义如何与音质中的情感含义相互作用。本文借鉴系统功能符号学，提出了一个统一的理论框架来考察歌唱表演中声音和歌词如何共同构建情感意义。该框架为讨论和教学歌曲分析与表演提供了一种新颖的方法。该框架将通过分析阿黛尔演唱的歌曲《Someone Like You》中音质与歌词之间的互动来说明。
