This portfolio examines the role of vocal nuance and inflection in relation to text, elements of musical expression and affect (referring to the ability of the performer to move the emotions or passions of the audience). The portfolio data, developed through music rehearsal and live performance, underlines modes in which the singing voice conveys both textual meaning and the communication of emotion in 18th-century vocal repertoire. 2010-07-13T00:59:44.844Z ]]> http://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:1635 The novel, A Simple Story consequently struggles with some intractable problems, though the problems are more generic than real since it is in the very intractability of her characters that the strength of Elizabeth Inchbald's narrative lies. By any standard other than the novelistic, nothing is surprising or even unusual about the way the story unfolds, except, perhaps, for the unsettling candor with which Inchbald recounts this simple, unvarnished tale of decent, intelligent people who do some stupid things for no good reason, who love unwisely, and who do not always learn from their mistakes. 2010-04-27T06:27:08.125Z ]]>
