Greetings, all!
I've been semi-lurking over the last few weeks, and was very interested in the recent discussion of darkening vowels as one sings higher. I had always been taught to brighten as one descends in pitch, but never thought to flip that around. Thanks!
I'm currently working on the ornamentation in "Se Florindo e fedele," (from the Alfred "big 26" edition), and it's really helped to think of darkening the vowels on the higher notes, particularly on the repeated E flat-F-G's. I am curious as to how one should approach darkening the long "e," as there's a whompin' lot of them! Would it be something closer to an open E, or something else?
My apologies if this question has already been answered:-)
As always, many thanks in advance for your help!
Rachel
