Edward Foreman (1937 – 2018) was an American operatic bass, scholar of singing technique, and teacher.
He was founder and editor of the Pro Musica Press (Minneapolis), which reprinted historical treatises in facsimile and transcription, and also translated them into English.
[1] According to Richard Wistreich, these translations offer a uniquely comprehensive and valuable collection of Bel Canto pedagogy in English.
[2] Foreman’s book ‘The Art of bel canto in the Italian Baroque.
A Study of the Original Sources’, which covers the period between 1562 and 1810, was recommended as an excellent and accurate resource that avoids dissecting the original sources to fit recent concepts of pedagogy.
