PURPOSE:To assess the effect of a program of singing training on the voice of total laryngectomees wearing tracheoesophageal voice prosthesis, considering the quality of alaryngeal phonation, vocal extension and the musical elements of tunning and legato. METHODS:Five laryngectomees wearing tracheoesophageal voice prosthesis completed the singing training program over a period of three months, with exploration of the strengthening of the respiratory muscles and vocalization and with evaluation of perceptiveauditory and singing voice being performed before and after 12 sessions of singing therapy. RESULTS:After the program of singing voice training, the quality of tracheoesophageal voice showed improvement or the persistence of the general degree of dysphonia for the emitted vowels and for the parameters of roughness and breathiness. For the vowel "a", the pitch was displaced to grave in two participants and to acute in one, and remained adequate in the others. A similar situation was observed also for the vowel "i". After the singing program, all participants presented tunning and most of them showed a greater presence of legato. The vocal extension improved in all participants. CONCLUSION:Singing training seems to have a favorable effect on the quality of tracheoesophageal phonation and on singing voice.
ResumoGilberto Mendes , compositor brasileiro da segunda metade do século XX, criou a obra O meu amigo Koellreutter, para voz feminina, marimba e piano, no ano de 1984, em comemoração ao septuagésimo aniversário de Hans-Joachim Koellreutter. Trata-se de uma canção sem palavras em que a ausência de texto faz aflorar as múltiplas interpretações, não delimitadas por um código verbal específico. Vislumbra-se, dessa forma, a universalidade dos sentidos primordiais da voz. Nela se evidenciam as nuances sutis do pentatonismo numa estrutura minimalista, trazendo à tona a influência de certa musicalidade japonesa. O compositor da canção, na busca por uma poética pessoal, a ser construída a partir de influências cosmopolitas, encontra-se com outro agitador cultural, ávido também na procura de questões instigantes em relação à modernidade: Koellreutter. Nasceu na Alemanha, em 1915, atuando inicialmente como flautista. A vinda ao Brasil, em 1937, deveu-se ao nazismo que assolava o país. Professor de vários compositores e educadores de música no Brasil, fez parte do Música Viva, intenso movimento de revitalização artística, pedagógica e cultural. O contato com o Japão, na década de 1950, permitiulhe vivenciar um modelo de sincretismo entre o tradicional e o novo, o ocidente e o oriente. Gilberto Mendes encontra, nessa fusão cultural de Koellreutter, um motivo para a sua composição musical, recriando de forma lúdica, a partir de uma perspectiva brasileira, um modo de traduzir o Japão. Da imanência à manifestação, a atmosfera japonesa ganha corpo na produção da canção brasileira.Palavras-chave: Canção brasileira; Gilberto Mendes; Hans-Joachim Koellreutter; Brasil e Japão; análise musical para performance 98 Abstract Gilberto Mendes (1922-2016, a Brazilian composer of the second half of the twentieth century, created the work O meu amigo Koellreutter for female voice, marimba, and piano in 1984 to commemorate the seventieth birthday of Hans-Joachim Koellreutter. O meu amigo Koellreutter is a song without words in which the absence of text brings out multiple interpretations not limited to a specific verbal code. One glimpses thus the universality of the primary senses of the voice. The subtle nuances of pentatonicism combined with a minimalist structure reveal the influence of a certain Japanese musical style. With O meu amigo Koellreutter, Mendes, in search of his own compositional poetics built from cosmopolitan influences, encounters another cultural activist also eager to introduce thought-provoking ideas regarding modernity: Koellreutter. Koellreutter was born in Germany in 1915 and worked as a professional flutist during his early years, moving to Brazil in 1937 due to the Nazi rule in Germany. In Brazil as a professor of various composers and music educators, Koellreutter formed an integral part of the Música Viva, a musical movement of intense artistic, educational, and cultural revitalization. Contact with Japan in the 1950s allowed him to experience a model of syncretism between both the traditional and the new and Eas...
