You can find the CD trackmarks throughout the booklet. Even if you do not speak any German, this guide will enable you to pronounce the text correctly and with confidence. With the word for word translation you can communicate the specific meaning of each word through your singing. It will also help you to enunciate the important words and syllables in each phrase, so that the audience can understand it clearly and enjoy the many expressive colours of the language.

GERMAN PRONUNCIATION GUIDE NORBERT MEYN Johannes Brahms Ein Deutsches Requiem 1 CD TRACK 1 The ChoraLine Guide to Singing in German In singing we use the highest and purest form of the German Language, Hochsprache or Bühnensprache (stage-language). VOWELS CD TRACK 2 German has a greater variety of vowel sounds than many other languages. All German vowel sounds have both open and closed variations. OPEN VOWELS Open vowels are usually short (when spoken), and mostly followed by two or more consonants. Ɔ Gott God U Mutter mother CLOSED VOWELS Closed vowels are usually long (when spoken). o: groß great u: gut good In the ChoraLine pronunciation guide, open (or short) vowels are marked with capital letters and closed (or long) vowels are marked with lower case letters. For clarity it is very important that when singing, open and closed vowels are clearly differentiated. The only exception is the letter a, which can be spoken short or long, but is always sung as a bright Italianate a. 2 THE WRITTEN VOWELS e AND i The open and closed versions of these vowels are formed mainly by the tongue, which gradually assumes a higher position in the mouth. IPA SYMBOL open e closed e open i closed i A colon after a vowel means it is pronounced long. Ɛ e: I i: THE WRITTEN VOWELS o AND u Here the open and closed versions are formed mainly by the mouth and lips, which gradually close. IPA SYMBOL open o closed o open u closed u Ɔ o: U u: UMLAUTS ä, ö AND ü Open or closed, they are formed with the same mouth shape as their counterparts without the two dots, by raising the tongue inside the mouth. IPA SYMBOL ä open ö closed ö open ü closed ü Ɛ œ ø: Y y: (this is the same sound as the open e) 3
GERMAN PRONUNCIATION GUIDE NORBERT MEYN Johannes Brahms Ein Deutsches Requiem CD TRACK 4 THE SCHWA SOUND This is a very neutral sound, which is used when the letter e occurs in an unstressed position. An example would be the first syllable in the word Geduld (patience) or the last syllable in the word Leben (life). In singing this sound is usually bright and never strongly projected. CD TRACK 6 IMPORTANT CONSONANTS AND GROUPS OF CONSONANTS h ch 1 (ç) ch 2 (x) chs (ks) -ig (ç) IPA SYMBOL e (schwa) as in Leben (life) ə THE SCHWA SOUND II This sometimes replaces the letter r, for example in the German word mehr (more). This sound can also replace the ending -er, exactly as in the English word ‘better’, or in the last syllable of the German word Butter (butter). IPA SYMBOL -er, r (schwa II) as in Butter (butter) ɐ DIPHTHONGS Diphthongs are made up of two vowels. In singing the second vowel is only sounded at the very last moment. CD TRACK 5 IPA SYMBOL ai as in Mai (May) au as in Traum (dream) eu as in heute (today) ae ao Ɔø The second vowel is not as closed as the spelling suggests, and closes only partly. 4 -iglich ng (ŋ) nk qu s st sp sch z v w (ʃt) (ʃp) (ʃ) This is always silent after a vowel, and the preceding vowel is always long and closed, as in the word gehen (to go). as in the word ich (I). This sound can be difficult. It is produced by touching the edges of your tongue against the upper teeth at the sides of your mouth, and the tip of your tongue touching the lower teeth at the front of your mouth. The sound is then made quite high up in the mouth by passing air over the tongue. It is similar to the first part of the English word ‘huge’, but stronger and more projected. ‘ch’ can also be pronounced in the throat as in the word Nacht (night). It is made by air friction quite low in the throat and is the same sound as that in the Scottish word ‘loch’. If ‘ch’ is followed by an ‘s’, then it is pronounced as a ‘k’ – as in the word wachsen (to grow). When words end in -ig, this is pronounced ‘ich’ – as in the word for king – König. If the ‘-ig’ is followed by -lich the ‘g’ becomes a ‘k’ as in the word königlich (royally). This is always pronounced with a soft ‘g’ as in the English word ‘sing’, and not with a hard ‘g’ as in ‘finger’. is pronounced as in English ‘thank’, or in German, Dank. is pronounced ‘kv’ as in the word for Quelle (source), not ‘kw’ as in the Italian word ‘quella’. If the letter ‘s’ is followed by a vowel, then it is voiced like an English ‘z’ as in the word Sonne (sun). is mostly pronounced ‘sht’ as in the word Stille (silence). becomes ‘shp’ as in Spiel (a game). is pronounced ‘sh’ as in schön (beautiful). is pronounced ‘ts’ as in Zimmer (a room). is generally pronounced ‘f’ as in Vogel (bird). is pronounced as the English ‘v’, as in the word Welle (a wave) or Wasser (water). 5
GERMAN PRONUNCIATION GUIDE NORBERT MEYN Johannes Brahms Ein Deutsches Requiem CD TRACK 7 Voiced consonants like b, d and g become de-voiced if at the end of a word or before another consonant. b d g r becomes ‘p’ in gab (gave), becomes ‘t’ in und (and), becomes ‘k’ in Schlag (strike). When singing, the letter ‘r’ is rolled with the tongue, and quite strongly in expressive words like Rache (revenge). But it may also be just flicked as in a word like kurz (short). When the letter ‘r’ occurs at the end of a word, it is often replaced by the neutral schwa sound as in the word der (the), as described above – schwa sound II. THE GLOTTAL STOP CD TRACK 8 When singing in German the “glottal stop” is important, as it helps to achieve clarity. This means that words beginning with a vowel have to be separated from the previous word with a re-articulation. Example: Am Abend (in the evening). In a glottal stop the vocal folds are closed for a moment and then opened again with a gentle explosion. In singing this should be quite smooth and should hardly interrupt the line. INFLECTION All German words have one stressed syllable, and this is often the first syllable. When singing in German, inflection is the key to a beautiful line. Unstressed syllables are projected less than in other languages, and this results in a lilting line that moves from one stress to the next. In the text of the ChoraLine pronunciation guide, we have underlined stressed syllables and we have also underlined the important words in a phrase. This is because German is a very onomatopoeic language, and the stressed syllables or words often carry the expression. This is especially true in singing. 6 2 CD TRACK 9 List of Sounds and Symbols for Reference and Practice VOWELS SPELLING a ä, open e IPA SYMBOL a, a: Ɛ EX AMPLE ENGL.

For this reason most singing translations or other available translations of poetic texts are not enough to identify the meaning of individual words in a text. Word-for-word translations work around this problem, and they save you having to look up many individual words in the dictionary. Most of the time the meaning of a phrase is still obvious although the word order is unusual. If you cannot make sense of a line it is worth referring to a normal translation as available on the Internet or in a CD booklet. You should be able to piece together a coherent picture that way.
