Abstract
The talk will show methodologies for the investigation
of expressive musical performance using spectrum analysis software.
In particular we will look at the singing of songs by Schubert
and
at the ways in which singers draw on speech intonation to give
meaning
to musical events. We hope that the examples will suggest useful
ways of
developing visualisation software so that this kind of musical
research
can be done more effectively.
