Welcome to a very special episode with today's guest, Dr Aaron Pegram as we talk about one of the Australians' most significant military actions during the Great War In early April 1918, the Australians and British had successfully defended the French village of Villers Bretonneux, only to have it lost later that month on 24 April. With the German Spring Offensive still threatening to break through towards the crucial transport and communications centre of Amiens, two exhausted Australian Brigades rushed towards Villers Bretonneux that afternoon to not only stop the German advance, but to retake the town.

Since we talked so much last week about studying the diction of your native language, I thought it only fitting that we discuss a little English Diction today! Our guests are Mark Lawson, an American coach on the music staff of the Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich, and Aaron Pegram, an American tenor in the ensemble at the Semperoper in Dresden. Our texts today are "Take O Take Those Lips Away" and Stephen Foster's "Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair". We concentrate on the American diphthongs and how to handle the Rs when singing in English. You can find the texts through the Lied and Art Song Text Page link at the right. On this episode, we talked about the standard textbook, Madeleine Marshall's The Singer's Manual of English Diction, which has been around for several decades. I also mentioned Kathryn LaBouff's book, Singing and Communicating in English, which includes separate sections for Mid-Atlantic, American and British pronunciation. A big thank you to everyone who has shared The Diction Police on their Facebook pages, word-of-mouth is the greatest commercial!
