The German word "Sprechgesang" is used to describe a specific technique of vocal music (singing).
The word "Sprechgesang" translates directly as "chant", but if you break it into two German-English words you get "Sprech" - "Speak" and "Gesang" - "Singing."
So how do you sing-speak?
Or Speak-sing?
You move your voice up and down in pitch and you vary the rhythm of your words, but not to the extent that you are singing a tune.
And you do it in German, natürlich. Listen and watch - this woman will talk you through the process of sprechgesang.
Wunderbar.
