PIRIE E A C E. THE Gift of Songs has been much sought and liberally obtained by the People, whose name these Hymns and Melodies bear. They are, without exception, the product of young Brethren and Sisters of the Order, who, having had no scientific, musical education, have, in their arrangement— poetical and musical—chiefly relied upon the teachings of the Spirit. Conscious of their scientific imperfections, they go to the public for what they are—the simple offering of a simple people. We claim that the words and music are not all of Earth nor all of Heaven — simply inspira- tional gifts, appropriate to, and illustrative of, the life and testimony of Believers in Christ's First and Second Appearing, which find continual use in their sacred worship, wherein are seen Virgins rejoicing in the dance, both men and women together. . With this apology to Science and Art, we rest them upon their own merits, with those who love sincerity and beauty for their own sake. - We invite all interested to subscribe for the SHAKER AND SHAKEREss, in which may be found a continuation of the same Gift of Songs. . . Price of SHAKER AND SHAKEREss, 60 cents per annum. MT. LEBANON, CoL. Co., N. Y. CONTIENTS. - PAGE PAGE. p.A.G.E.

E. R. M U.S./C. 65 THE DEPENDENCE OF THE SINGING OR SPEAKING FORM OF THE LARYNX UPON THE RESPIRATORY EFFORT. THE TWO FORMS, THE TWO BREATHS, THE TWO LOCALITIES OF TONE. Before entering upon the main argument, the reader is requested to go through with the following exercises; for the real import and vital importance of the subject will be more vividly realized if every statement can be at once submitted to the crucial test of a personal trial. In all the standard treatises on physiology (vide Flint, Dalton, and Carpenter), the respiratory movement of the glottis is fully described; its relation to singing or speaking, as a natural law which should be recognized as of superlative importance in restoring or educating the voice, is claimed by the writer as an original discovery. Ex. 1. Inſlate the lungs by an effort of the muscles which expand the chest and raise the shoulders, then expel the breath by simply relaxing this effort. The weight of the unnaturally elevated and distended chest is amply sufficient to discharge the newly inhaled air; but mark these two related facts—the breathing was effortless, the breath was shrilly audible. Ex. 2. Contract the abdominal muscles steadily and powerfully —in other words, draw inward the a m by regular degrees, to expel the breath ; but be watchful to avoid an involuntary ex- fansion of the chest. If the abdomen is drawn inward, the lungs will be com- pressed; and, if the chest is not allowed to expand, the air must be driven out through the windpipe, but so noiselessly will it escape, that its flow will be almost imperceptible. And now take notice again—the breathing was attended by a decided effort; the breath was almost or quite inaudible. t is a curious fact, remarked upon at some length by Dr. Flint, that a person who feels that he is the subject of an experiment, will unconsciously disturb the natural respiratory process, and the reader will be very likely to associate breath- ing with the sound of issuing breath so strongly, that the respiration in the second, as well as the first exercise, will be plainly heard. To avoid this danger by a simple stratagem, let the thought concern itself solely with the abdominal effort. The breath will then be discharged through the mouth so noiselessly (unless the flow of air is very great), that it will require some test, such as holding the hand before the mouth, to reveal that it is in- deed flowing. If this muscular effort cannot at once be determined, let two or three short coughs rapidly succeed each other, while great care is taken to so far depart from the natural habit of coughing that a preliminary breath will not be drawn, nor the chest convulsively expand. In this way the abdominal effort will be plainly indicated, and with a little practice, the second exercise can be fairly performed. There are then two distinct breaths—which may be design, nated as the rushing and the flooding breaths; and the great difference in their rate of flow, while the respiratory effort remains unchanged, proves that the capacity of the duct through which they flow, cannot have remained the same. The noisier current of the former rushing breath can be ex- plained only by supposing that the channel is narrower; the noiseless passage and more rapid flow of the flooding breath certainly indicate a wider outlet. But the º: cavity cannot be changed without *. the form of the larnyx. #. must then be two distinct forms of the larynx, each assumed naturally, without the aid of the forcing muscles previously noticed, whose contraction would 66 S H. A. A F A& M U.S. ſ C. be distinctly felt and recognized. the change effected P - Happily, the study of physiology has found the true and wonderful solution of this difficult problem in the involuntary respiratory movement of the glottis. Physiology has discovered that in man, and in all the higher animals, the laryngeal cavity actively enlarges from one-fifth to one-third when the breath is inhaled, but passively collapses to its former state when it is exhaled. o one can fail to notice how differently the two breaths sound of a person in sleep. At the first thought, it must appear that this involun- tary habit would directly oppose the use of the wider form by the vocalist, for in singing the breath is exhaled. But this widening and narrowing does not depend upon the direction of the breath inward or outward, but results from the sympathy between the respiratory muscles and the pair of laryngeal muscles, , which contract to widen the opening. Hence, in ordinary breathing (as was shown by the first exer- cise), the muscles of the larynx contract during inspiration in response to the breathing muscles, which must contract to raise the chest or lower the diaphragm; but in expiration they relax, because they have no respiratory effort to sympathize with — for the breathing muscles relax to let the chest or diaphragm recoil to their natural position with a force fully adequate to expel to breath. And that the direction of the breath is not important, but that the laryngeal muscles always contract, or strive to con- tract, whenever the respiratory muscles are exerted for whatever purpose, the softer flow of the breath, when it is expelled by a depided effort of the abdominal muscles (as in the 2d exercise), convincingly proves. But are not the respiratory muscles exerted in speaking and singing P. The simple recoil of the chest sufficed to expel the breath when the larnyx is open ; but in speaking or singing, it is closed by the vocal chords, so that for even a moderate tone, the air must be propelled with greater force, and the respiratory muscles actually exert themselves. Space forbids an express statement of the various demands made upon these muscles by the exigencies of the musical tone or phrase; and it would require too long a process of reasoning to show why the faintest note for § the mere rebound of the chest yº, sufficient and more than sufficient motive power, should depend instead upon a positive effort of both the abdominal muscles and the diaphragm. For they should con- tract in opposition to each other—the lower muscles bearing By what agency, then, is upward, the diaphragm downward, with a slight overbalance of force in favor of the former; a combined effort entirely disproportionate to the vocal effect produced. So far we must beg the question, resting our opinion upon good authorities. But that dependence is not placed upon the simple recoil, is shown by the strange and ji, husky tone which a person speaks when he raises his shoulders and expands the chest, and talks while they listlessly rebound to their normal position; the force will be adequate, but the sound shows that some natural law has been violated. This law reads as follows: The singing or speaking breath should always be impelled by a positive effort of the respiratory muscles. Such is the law; but when it is disobeyed, and the singin breath is discharged without effort, why is the tone ...; What is the wanting, condition which the respiratory effort ..º. It cannot be found in the different impulse given to the breath; for the simple recoil impels it in the same direc- tion, and for a moderate tone, with sufficient force. The con- clusion cannot be avoided that the channel is changed for the vocalized air, by the pair of laryngeal muscles which act in sympathy with the respiratory muscles. This natural law of vocalizing may be formulated as follows: The singing form of the larynx depends primarily upon an effort of the laryngeal muscles of dilation (the crico-arytenoidei postice); secondarily, upon the positive exertion of the respiratory muscles. . It may be reasonably supposed that the two powerful muscles of dilation must have an influence, if they are exerted while the other vocal muscles make tense and approximate the vocal chords; but to explaine exactly how they operate, will require a brief sketch of the vocal organs. . e vocal chords stretch horizontally across the larynx, or top of the windpipe, from the front backward. At the front, they come close together, but as they extend backward, they diverge like the two sides of the letter “V.” If the first and second finger are stretched apart, and the neck is set in the fork, the position and divergence of the chords will be roughly, but on too large a scale, indicated. At the back of the larynx they are attached to two movable cartilages, somewhat in the form of pyramids, called the arytenoid cartilages, to which are also attached the vocal chords. But these pyramids are also the support of the two epiglottidean muscles which draw inward folds of the mucous membrane just above the vocal chords, when the throat must be closed for an explosive cough, or in swallowing. Now, th: S. Aſ A A' A' A' A/ O S / C. 67 vocal chords and vocal muscles (including the sympathetic dilating muscles) are all attached to the base of the pyramids, while the epiglottidean muscles are fastened at their apex. When the muscles of dilation contract, they pull upon the outer angle of the base of each pyramid, drawing this angle outward and downward: their outward pulling would draw apart the basis of the pyramid; their downward pulling would tip them out of the perpendicular, so that their summits would be farther apart than their bases. When the vocal chords must come together for speaking or singing, the muscles of approximation (the arytenoideus and crico-arytenoidei laterales) contract to draw the pyramids together, still in this slanting position. The vocal chords will come close together at the base; but, as the dilating muscles are still active, the sides will incline away from each other, and afford an ever-widening space to the newly vocalized air, whose vibratory waves will be unbroken in their passage to the pharynx and mouth. But if the respiratory effort did not prompt the dilating laryngeal muscles to incline the pyramidal supports outward, their sides, as well as base, would come nearer together; the aperture from the base to the apex, or entrance to the mouth, would be narrow ; the vocal waves would be broken, and the resulting tone husky and impure. nd as no theory in art is valuable until it is reduced to practice, let this newly acquired knowledge be utilized by being thrown into the form of exercises. Its enormous training value to the student will at once be recognized. Ex. 3. Erhale the breath as in Er. 1, by a simple recoil. Repeat this breath, but midway decide that the latter half shall carry out a tone with it, but avoid any change %physical effort. hat is, avoid any effort other than the respiratory, which must remain unchanged. The thought of a coming tone will indeed prompt the vocal muscles to action, but they are utterly devoid of sensation, and the scholar's only solicitude need be to avoid any physical effort, or any feeling whatever in the throat. In this exercise, the tone will sound like a sigh and will lack resonance; the air will flow almost as fast in the tone as in the toneless breath. - Ex. 4. Erhale the breath as in Er. 2, with a decahed effort, and with a noiseless current, but just as soon as the hand held before the mouth shows that a strong current of air is setting outward, introduce the tone with the same solicitlede to avoid the slightest change of physical effort. Strictly performed, this exercise will evolve a tone of the last degree of excellence — a tone so pure and so resonant that it will show that every particle of air has been vocalized to its utmost capacity. This series of exercises carries º it its own sufficient proof, and can, from the first, be practiced with good results. But the laborious distention of the chest may soon be dispensed with, if the exact sound of the rushing breath is kept well in remembrance; for such voluntary control will have been ac- quired that the narrower form of the larynx can be assumed, even when the breath is expelled by a positive exertion of the abdominal muscles—an effort according more nearly with the mode of respiration upon which the cultivated artist or speaker should rely. ven when a clear note can be made to enter after the soft breath in the middle of the compass of his voice, the scholar must not stop practicing with the rushing breath ; for it will soon appear that the muscles of pitch can, with this form of the larynx, far more easily learn to stretch the now untram- meled chords for a high pitch, in response to the sheer mental projection of the note—an unwonted effort requiring that they shall learn new habits, for now they have dissolved partnership with the disturbing epiglottidean muscles, and must perform the whole office alone. And the zealous student may well be cheered and stimulated, when he finds that he is accomplishing in months the accus- tomed labor of years; that at the bottom of this unpromising solution of husky sound and fatiguing practice are being crystallized the precious jewels of oratory and song—tones clear cut, transparent id beautiful, whose transmitted light, softly diffused in many varying tints and shades, will faithfully portray the otherwise inexpressible emotions to which he would give utterance.
