Arias for Baritone: G. Schirmer Opera Anthology Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This a valuable anthology and has much to recommend it. The cleaness of the lay-out the use of original language only with a literal and literate translation by Martha Gerhart at the beginning of the of the score and thechoice of arias for the young singer are commendable. The inclusion ofcadenze and oppure, not found in other collections, is valuable. However,all of the anthologies edited by Larsen have the same problem. Page turns.Larsen is a fine pianist and should know better. I have had many pianistscomplain about or refuse to play from Larsen scores. Whenever a difficultpassage to play occurs it is invaribly on a page turn. The collection is agreat study tool, but less than ideal in performance.

Easy Songs for the Beginning Tenor (Easy Songs for Beginning Singers) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Joan Boytim has put together another diverse collection of repertory geared to less experienced singers. Some excellent more expected choices as well as some out of print pieces that are less familiar but still well worth the time to consider. My only lament is the exclusion of non-English language texts. There are some songs given in singable translations from the original language, but fail to include the original language as an option for singers who may want to learn foreign diction on simpler repertory. I agree that foreign texts are a difficulty for many new singers, but including both versions of the text offer more options for the studio teacher. Still, all in all, a good collection and well worth the price.

As for the accompaniment CD - It is useful to have, but buyers should be aware that no example tracks exist, and there are numerous tempo and stylistic variations choices made that are not reflected in the music itself. It is usually fairly clear upon 2nd or 3rd listening, but some students may have trouble going from a "straight" performance to the more stylized piano version. A number of the pieces DO include much of the melody line in the accompaniment, but the majority do not.

Product Description:
This series was designed to supplement traditional vocal instruction and works perfectly as preparatory literature for The First Book of Solos and The First Book of Solos Part II. Each piece is in English and has a limited vocal range as well as a piano accompaniment that is playable by a student pianist. The pieces include art songs, folksongs, humorous songs, and suitable vintage popular songs and are all appropriate for contest solos. The accompanying CD includes professionally-recorded accompaniments. Tenor Contents: The Ash Grove (Welch Air) * By the Light of the Silvery Moon (Edwards) * Come, Aurora (arr. Charles) * Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes (Old English Air) * A Fable (Arensky) * Flow Gently, Sweet Afton (Spillman) * Hark! Hark! the Lark (Schubert) * I'm Always Chasing Rainbows (Carroll) * If You've Only Got a Moustache (Foster) * The Little Irish Girl (Lohr) * My Wild Irish Rose (Olcott) * Passing By (E. Purcell/Fisher) * A Pretty Girl is Like a Melody (Berlin) * The Rose of Allandale (Nelson/Goodell) * The Rose of Tralee (Glover) * Requiem "Underwoods" (Homer) * Santa Lucia (Cottrau) * Katy Bell (Foster) * Rock-a-My-Soul * Scarborough Fair (English Folksong/Sharp) * Standin' in the Need of Prayer * Steal Away * When Irish Eyes Are Smiling (Ball).
