The vowel [y] is an [i] pronounced mid-high and central, rather than high and front. It is always preceded by a hard consonant. It is not in any way diphthongal. It is just as much pure vowel as [i], but is pronounced lower and farther back. (Russians sometimes pronounce this vowel with a slight rounding assimilation ({“y]), but only after labials (b,p,v,{, m). Foreigners should avoid doing so, because of their tendency to over-do and over-extend this optional, slight assimilation.) Russian has both open [e] (French é) and close [e] (French é). Russian schwa, [a], common in speech, has a restricted distribution in singing. It equates to English about, lemon, circus, sofa, element, etc. CONSONANTS Nearly all Russian consonants can occur either as palatalized (soft) or unpalatalized (hard). Palatalization is symbolized in transcription by a little hook on the consonant letter: {b], [pl, [d], [f],ete: Palatalization is a salient characteristic of Russian phonology. It is the releasing of a consonant in the palate, accomplished by arching the tongue up into the palate and "squeezing" the consonant sound down from above. The place of consonantal palatalization is precisely where the vowel [i] is located in the oral cavity. Palatalization is therefore also characterized as "i-coloring” of the consonant. Another characteristic of palatalized stops (b,d,g,p,tk) is that they take on a fricative quality, a kind of "slipperiness," an extendibility that stops otherwise lack Foreigners should avoid substituting consonant + sibilant release for palatalized consonants: [ts] instead of [t], [dz] instead of [d], etc. Even worse is the substitution of hard consonant + English y for palatalized consonants: d+ya instead of (dal, Ltyu instead of [lu], b+yo instead of [bo], ete. Such mispronunciations are often the direct result of working from a transliteration rather than a transcription, and strike the Russian ear as very un-Russian and very ugly. Some of the symbols used differ from the usual IPA representations. They are instead the symbols familiar to all scholars dealing with Slavic languages. For a variety of reasons, the author considers them more practical for use here than their IPA equivalents. Note the following: [2] English azure, pleasure. Always hard. {s] English sure, ship. Always hard [cl English tsetse. German zu. Always hard. [2%] Long, soft [2]. IS] Long, soft [3]. I] English church. Always soft.[i] German ja, jung. bx) German Bach. [y] Voiced [x, or [g] rendered as a fricative. Spanish agua. This sound occurs only when [x] is followed by a voiced consonant. (See ASSIMILATIONS below.) [dz] Voiced [c]. This sound occurs only when [c] is followed by a voiced consonant. (See ASSIMILATIONS below.) [4] English judge. This sound occurs only when [é] is followed by a voiced consonant. (See ASSIMILATIONS below.) Hard consonants in general are pronounced much like their English counterparts, except that voiced consonants get heavier voicing than in English, and there is no aspiration of stops. Russian hard [I] merits special mention, since it is much harder than even English final "dark" | and affords, by its mispronunciation, one of the most common giveaways of a non-Russian singer. Hard [I] is pronounced with the tongue in the same contour as in English r: earn, earth, etc. A good exercise for practicing Russian hard | is to say English ger, then hold everything in place except the tip of the tongue, which moves forward only far enough to make dental contact, and say girl with the | in the throat, as if gargling with it, and hold onto it as long as breath allows. That's Russian hard [I]; and the substitution of a "continental" | for it sounds comically wrong to the Russian ear. When a consonant in transcription is followed by the diacritic” (d’, f, ete.), this indicates that the consonant in this environment is not released. (The first t is English nitrate is released; the first t in English night rate is not.) N.B. The author is aware that the conventional way of indicating length in phonetic transcriptions is the use of the symbol : . But experience has also made him aware that singers tend to ignore the symbol ; after another symbol. Length is much more likely to be realized when the consonant symbol is doubled. Therefore the symbolizations [22] and [§§] indicate these consonants’ length, and not doubling. There is no danger of confusing these symbols with the actual doubling of the consonants [2] and [8], since these sounds are always hard and would lack the palatalization markers. ASSIMILATIONS Voiced: | fd fl M wh fm TH (dz) (dz) dd Voiceless: lp) ff] fk ff & 8 & & F w As in German, final Russian consonants can be only voiceless. Words ending, in a voiced consonant are therefore pronounced with the final consonant devoiced: [p] for graphic b, [t] for graphic d, [k] for graphic g, and so forth. Thus, pa6 [rap], pox [rot], apyr [druk], etc. However, devoicing of consonants does not occur if it violates an even stronger phonological principle of Russian, namely, consonant assimilation. When two or more consonants are pronounced together without pause in Russian -- whetherwithin the same syllable, over syllable boundaries, or even over word boundaries -- they must all be voiced, or they must all be voiceless. Thus, not only must one sing nogka as [vOtka] and mpoce6a as [progba], but also: pa6 ayn [rab_dull, pox 61 [rod byl], apyr xan (drug_Zal], etc. Such non-devoicings of final consonants are marked in the transcription with a ligature: _ . The singer should devoice the consonant to the left of the ligature if he decides to break the phrase at this point. ‘The same ligature is used to indicate vocalic assimilations. Close [e] occurs in Russian only before a palatalized consonant or a front vowel, [i] or [e]. Elsewhere only open [e] occurs. Consequently, if word-final -e is followed without pause by a word beginning with a palatalized consonant or a front vowel, it is transcribed as [e] and is followed by a ligature: _. The singer who opts to break here, however, must sing the -e as [e. Similarly, the vowel [y] occurs only after an unpalatalized, or hard, consonant (explaining why this sound could never be initial). This positional variant of /i/ is therefore the only vowel realizable after a hard consonant, whether reflected in the spelling or not. A hard consonant cannot be followed by [i]; and a soft consonant cannot be followed by ly]. Thus, sor # on [voy on]; nan ua [dal_ym]; « pe [k_yrel; etc. Should a break be introduced at the point of the ligature, the vowel after the break would then be pronounced [i] N.B. The symbol # has been used in the literal translations to indicate that a Russian word does not translate. It therefore has no correspondence in the English translation.IL. YaitkoscKuit 1.
