Kraftklub is a German band whose music uses what type of expressionist vocal technique between singing and speaking where pitches are sung?
Sprechgesang Sprechgesang (] , "spoken singing") and Sprechstimme (] , "spoken voice") are expressionist vocal techniques between singing and speaking. Though sometimes used interchangeably, "Sprechgesang" is directly related to the operatic "recitative" manner of singing (in which pitches are sung, but the articulation is rapid and loose like speech), whereas "Sprechstimme" is closer to speech itself (because it does not emphasise any particular pitches).
Tessitura In music, tessitura (] , pl. "tessiture", "texture"; ) is the most esthetically acceptable and comfortable vocal range for a given singer or, less frequently, musical instrument; the range in which a given type of voice presents its best-sounding (or characteristic) timbre. This broad definition is often interpreted to refer specifically to the pitch range that most frequently occurs within a given part of a musical piece. Hence, in musical notation, "tessitura" is the ambitus in which that particular vocal (or less often instrumental) part lies—whether high or low, etc.
