Melodic Sculpturing

The Art and Science of Singing

By: Donald R. Mathis

About the Book Melodic Sculpturing is intended to provide a comprehensive, developmental approach to vocal instruction for the teacher and for a serious singer. The contents are based on the author's professional experience as a singer and teacher of singing and on the writings of many great teachers of the past and present. The book addresses the physiology of the voice, psychology of voice production, relevant acoustics, and corrections for vocal faults. It also deals with diction, breath management, and vibrato prognosis. Suggestions for using technology as an objective visual tool in voice instruction are included in an entire chapter on the topic. A major and unique portion of the book presents a subject regularly omitted from textbooks on vocal production - interpretation and style. The author presents 34 "principles" of melodic practices that may enhance composers' and poets' intentions, while providing greater interest and involvement for the listener. It is like an encyclopedia for teaching students and for learning to sing well. This inspiring and encouraging volume is filled with documentation from vocal masters of two centuries and many apropos quotations that bolster the interest for the reader. Nearly 100 vocal examples (VEs) are identified and coded in the chapters. They are available at www.MelodicSculpturing.com for downloading. Two accompanying 1-semester workbooks geared for voice classes, the private studio, and a singer's personal use are published separately.

The Enzyme Reference

A Comprehensive Guidebook to Enzyme Nomenclature, Reactions, and Methods

By: Daniel L. Purich,R. Donald Allison

The aim of this work is to provide a fuller spectrum of information in a single source on enzyme-catalyzed reactions than is currently available in any published reference work or as part of any Internet database. The Enzyme Reference: A Comprehensive Guidebook to Enzyme Nomenclature, Reactions, and Methods includes 20,000 review articles and seminal research papers. Additionally, it provides a novel treatment of so-called ATPase and GTPase reactions to account for the noncovalent substratelike and productlike states of molecular motors, elongation factors, transporters, DNA helicases, G-reulatory proteins, and other energases. - Includes a compendium of over 6,000 enzyme reactions (including enzyme commission numbers, alternative names, substrates, products, alternative substrates, and properties) - Covers over 900 chemical structures of key metabolites and cofactors - Index directs readers to the exact pages for over 9,500 enzyme names
