The bell-like tones of the Jenny Lind voice in "Home, Sweet Home," and "The Last Rose of Summer" still come back to me, but too long after for me to make, or imagine, comparisons between it and the vocalism of Grisi, Sontag and Parepa-Rosa. Meeting Mr.
In such an ignoble fashion one of the most brilliant and beautiful women in the history of song departed from this life. The Girlhood of Catalani. She makes her Début in Florence. Description of her Marvelous Vocalism. The Romance of Love and Marriage. Her Preference for the Concert Stage. She meets Napoleon in Paris. Her Escape from France and Appearance in London.
Mara, the great German singer, who until then had no rival, was distracted with rage and jealousy, which the sweet-tempered Billington treated with a careless smile. Though her success had been so brilliant, she relaxed no effort in self-improvement, and studied assiduously both vocalism and the piano.
This period of Italian song prevailed throughout Europe until the time of Rossini. And in all the annals of music there is nothing quite so strange as the extraordinary craze which existed during this time for the instrumental style of vocalism.
In the present stage of its educational decadence the power of the dead hand is strongly illustrated by the new installation of the old Roman pronunciation with which our tongue has only remote analogies, which makes havoc with proper names which is unknown and unrecognized in the schools of the European continent, and which makes a pedantic affectation out of more vocalism.
Bilkins that those short flights of vocalism apropos of the personal charms of one Kate Kearney, who lived on the banks of Killarney which ordinarily issued from the direction of the scullery we're unheard that forenoon.

Then for addition and variety I launch forth in my vocalism; shout declamatory pieces, sentiments, sorrow, anger, &c., from the stock poets or plays or inflate my lungs and sing the wild tunes and refrains I heard of the blacks down south, or patriotic songs I learn'd in the army. I make the echoes ring, I tell you!
There are certain things that one language can do supremely well which it would be almost vain for another to attempt. Generally there are compensations. The vocalism of English is an inherently drabber thing than the vowel scale of French, yet English compensates for this drawback by its greater rhythmical alertness.
Then perhaps comes a little vocalism sternly classic though an aria from Gluck, or a solemn and pathetic song from Mendelssohn: the performer being either a well-known concert-singer, or a young lady very nervous and a little uncertain who, it is whispered, is 'an Academy girl; a pupil, that is, of the institution in question.
