In music, one voice per part (OVPP) is the practice of performing choral music with a single voice on each vocal line. In the specific context of Johann Sebastian Bach's works it is also known as the Rifkin hypothesis, set forth in Joshua Rifkin's 1982 article and expanded in Andrew Parrott's book The Essential Bach Choir. Choral works featuring SATB (soprano, alto, tenor and bass) vocal parts are consequently sung by four singers when this approach is adopted.

  • In music, one voice per part (OVPP) is the practice of performing choral music with a single voice on each vocal line. In the specific context of Johann Sebastian Bach's works it is also known as the Rifkin hypothesis, set forth in Joshua Rifkin's 1982 article and expanded in Andrew Parrott's book The Essential Bach Choir. Choral works featuring SATB (soprano, alto, tenor and bass) vocal parts are consequently sung by four singers when this approach is adopted. The first conductor to strongly advocate this approach to the music of Bach was the American pianist and conductor Joshua Rifkin in the 1980s. The use of solo voices in the choral music of Bach has also found champions in Andrew Parrott, Paul McCreesh, Sigiswald Kuijken and Konrad Junghänel. The approach is still somewhat controversial and recordings of Bach's music featuring solo voices in choral movements have met with mixed reviews. Proponents cite the fact that there are rarely additional copies of the vocal parts. One reason for not favouring one voice per part is that there is evidence that Bach preferred to use more singers in performances at Leipzig. Furthermore, the presence, absence and omission of solo and tutti markings in scores, as well as the ambiguity in their meaning, brings further doubt to the question of whether Bach used more than one singer per part or not. The initialism OVPP was first coined in the Internet mailing list "The Bach Recordings Discussion Group" in the mid 1990s by Steven Langley Guy. The initialism seems to have been adopted more widely since that time. (en)
  • Une voix par partie, désigne une controverse musicologique plus connue sous l’acronyme anglo-saxon OVPP (one voice per part). Elle se réfère à l’effectif des chœurs utilisé dans les cantates de Johann Sebastian Bach. En 1981, le musicologue et chef d'orchestre Joshua Rifkin expose une théorie qui déclenche une controverse dans le milieu de la musique baroque. Selon lui, la majeure partie des œuvres d’Église composée par Bach était prévue pour être interprétée dans les séquences vocales par une seule voix pour chaque partie : soprano, alto, ténor et basse. Il se fonde sur une lecture du mémorandum de 1730 où Bach exposait ses manques de moyens et décrivait en détail les effectifs dont il souhaitait disposer. Certains musicologues approuvèrent la thèse de Rifkin, en particulier Andrew Parrott. Des musiciens de renom comme Sigiswald Kuijken ou Marc Minkowski ont défendu l’OVPP dans leurs concerts ou leurs enregistrements. Les partisans de l’OVPP soulignent aussi les dessins et gravures de l’époque reproduisant les concerts où les effectifs représentés sont réduits. À l’inverse, des spécialistes de Bach comme Gustav Leonhardt, Ton Koopman, Masaaki Suzuki, Philippe Herreweghe ou John Eliot Gardiner se sont opposés à cette théorie. Ils dénoncent une interprétation hasardeuse du mémorandum de 1730 ou même la justification non dite de budgets réduits. Ils rappellent que quels que soient les effectifs dont Bach disposait, il bénéficiait de renforts extérieurs. Ils opposent d’autres sources iconographiques représentant un grand nombre de choristes. Néanmoins certains d’entre eux, comme Gardiner ou Koopman, ont tenté l’OVPP à titre expérimental. (fr)
  • OVPP (acrônimo de One Voice Per Part - em português: uma voz por parte) - este termo musical e neologismo refere-se à prática da execução da música coral do Barroco, particularmente das obras de Bach, com apenas um cantor para cada linha vocal. Obras corais com a indicação de SCTB ou SATB (soprano, contralto, tenor e baixo) são, consequentemente, cantadas por quatro cantores, quando esta abordagem é aplicada. O primeiro regente a advogar ferrenhamente esta abordagem da música de J. S. Bach foi o pianista e regente norte-americano Joshua Rifkin. O uso de vozes solo na música coral de Bach encontrou também adeptos em Andrew Parrott, e . Essa abordagem ainda é controversa e algumas gravações da música de Bach apresentando vozes solo nos movimentos corais tem encontrado diversos tipos de críticas. O acrônimo OVPP foi empregado pela primeira vez pelo "The Bach Recordings Discussion Group" nos meados dos anos 1990 por Langley Guy. Esse acrônimo parece ter sido empregado com mais frequência desde essa época. (pt)
