The Application and Development of Chinese Folk-Bel Canto Vocal Techniques in Chinese Coloratura Vocal Works

Abstract

Chinese folk vocal techniques originated from the emergence of Chinese folk songs. With the gradual development of Chinese folk songs, Chinese folk vocal techniques have formed a singing technology system. Since the 1920s, Bel canto techniques has spread in China and gradually had an impact on the Chinese folk vocal field. The singing of contemporary Chinese folk songs has begun a new era of borrowing Bel canto style from a technical point of view. At the same time, it also promoted the creation of Chinese coloratura vocal works. Chinese coloratura vocal works not only include Western composition styles with coloratura techniques, but also contain the characteristics of Chinese folk songs. At the beginning of creation, due to the difficulty of style and singing techniques, most of them were sung by Chinese Bel canto singers. However, these vocal works need to have the singing characteristics of Chinese folk songs and be able to use the vocalization techniques of coloratura techniques in Bel canto. The fusion of the two singing techniques can make Chinese coloratura vocal works more appropriately and accurately presented.
