Dear Roman and all,
I followed the link and I found this:
Silvius Leopold Weiss (1687-1750)
A trivial mistake about the Weiss' date of birth?
Best wishes

Dear Paolo,
Silvius Leopold Weiss (1687-1750)

Not at all. It is quite possible, that 1687 (stated by Louise
Gottsched) and not 1686 (which is on the posthumus etching by Folin )
is correct.
See Frank Legl's very important article (in
No! Frank Legel doubts the birthdate 1685/1686 which comes to us by the
painting (made years after Weiss' death). Luise Adelgunde von Gottsched,
who knew Weiss personally gave the birthdate 1687 which is much more
plausible.
See Frank Legels aricle in the JLSA about Weiss.

Dear Thomas,
Obertonsingen means a certain scale (containing just the overtones)
and way of singing (producing overtones in addition to the actual note
you want to sing). This is produced by a certain way to exclain the
vowels. U has less overtones than I. Everyone can try by himself singing
Conversation over, both on and off list. I'm sorry about that, and I
certainly will continue to read your posts - I learn from them sometimes.
Good. Times have a-changed a bit, the era of Theodore Bikel is over.

particularly testudinal):
Mariana Sadovska, a VERY unusual singer has recently emerged from the old
country. There are some samples of her work on the web:

Dear Thomas,
Enjoy Switzerland. Are you playing?
What you describe seems to be similar to a modern woodwind technique called
multisonics. The player plays double stops by using special fingerings
and I believe may play one note and hum the other one.
Craig's experience is interesting. I

Stewart,
I realize I was too quick using the word continuo - It is more a bass line
(clearly separate from the tune). I suppose it may have been meant either
for a singer or a gamba. But given the loseness of definitions in those
days, a theorbo is not unthinkable, although perhaps not a good
NYC is NOT an Early Music town, but Pat O'Brien teaches in Manhattan, and
there are a dozen or so players around town.

I'm thinking of moving to middle Long Island (around Islip and Brookhaven)
summer 2005. Is this a good place to be a
Obertonsingen?
Could the English meaning be to sing a descant?
Thanks for a very good description Thomas

Because, fortunately, we don't always think in straight lines. As Craig
said, we call this overtone singing. Ron does know this, of course, but
he's pretending not to. It's very common in some parts of England on
Fridays, about 11 o'clock in the evening.
would you please announce it before you're going to be kidding so that
others (me, that is) can get it ;)
