Binding: PaperbackDewey Decimal Number: 782 EAN: 9780793515134 ISBN: 0793515130 Label: G. Schirmer, Inc. Manufacturer: G. Schirmer, Inc. Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 104 Publication Date: September 01, 1992 Publisher: G. Schirmer, Inc. Studio: G. Schirmer, Inc. Editorial Review: Product Description: For well over a century, the G. Schirmer edition of 24 Italian Songs and Arias of the 17th and 18th Centuries has introduced millions of beginning singers to serious Italian vocal literature. Offered in two accessible keys suitable for all singers, it is likely to be the first publication a voice teacher will ask a first-time student to purchase. The classic Parisotti realizations result in rich, satisfying accompaniments which allow singers pure musical enjoyment. For ease of practice, carefully prepared accompaniments are also recorded on CD by John Keene, a New York-based concert accompanist and vocal coach who has performed throughout the United States for radio and television. Educated at the University of Southern California, Keene has taught accompanying at the university level and collaborated with Gian Carlo Menotti and Thea Musgrave on productions of their operas.

 Rating:  - Have used this for years!This was my first book given to me as a voice student when I was 11 years old. I have since 26 years later both sung and taught out of this book regularly.

This is a book you will go back to again and again; the material is appropriate for church, weddings, recitals, etc. A great learning tool. Rating: - ?I love the fact that this music anthology now comes with a CD for practicing purposes. It makes it fun to rehearse. Rating: - An Awesome Compilation Great book, becuase of great songs! A must have for beginner to intermediate classical vocalists Rating: - Wonderful book.I personally do not like any of John Glen Paton's writings, so I probably will not buy his book even if it does contain translations. This book however is great, but I would suggest that the teacher and student focus on building vocal technique through progressive vocal exercises and even some Vaccai before attempting the songs in this book. This is not a book I would recommend for the early beginner, but I do feel that all should have it in their music library. An addition book that I like even ... Read More |
