Hi Carol,
The best reference for overtone singing is by Rollin Rachele called the
Overtone Singing Study Guide, published by Cryptic Voices. It comes
with a CD of M. Rachele and friends demonstrating some of the most
amazing sounds you could imagine ;-)
Here are some links that you might find interesting:
http://www.sciam.com/1999/0999issue/0999levin.html is the Scientific
American article on Tuvan throat singing,
http://peyote.com/jonstef/khoomi.htm is the page on throat singing from
the Divine Soma Experiment site.
We (the Vancouver Chamber Choir) performed a piece a year ago (Past Life
Melodies by Sarah Hopkin) that finished with a section for six overtone
soloists. It's a remarkable piece of music, not difficult at all and
extremely effective. I first experienced overtone singing at a
performance of Stockhausen's Stimmung in 1971 and was fascinated. My
next encounter was with Tuvan throat singing at the World Choral
Symposium in 1993. I played around for a while on my own, trying to
figure it all out. At the NATS convention in Toronto in 1998, there was
a session on it that renewed my interest, and from there I discovered
the Rachel book.
Let me know if I can be of any more help.
Cheers
Craig, Burnaby BC
