A necessity for the young soprano or teacher

A great selection of songs for the beginning-intermediate soprano. This collection takes the singer from Easy Songs for the Beginning Soprano: With a companion CD of piano accompaniments (Easy Songs for Beginning Singers) into a slightly more advanced repertoire. Here the young singer begins to venture into linguistic challenges with music in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish. Comedy is incorporated with "The Green Dog" and, "A Little China Figure". English art-songs, "When I Have Sung My Songs" and "Have You Seen But A White Lily Grow" are lovely additions to the repertoire, adding unique challenges. For religious songs, "The Beatitudes" is a lovely, simple piece that encourages development of control and breath support. "The Crucifixion" is a dramatic religious piece, more modern in it's composition, and challening the ear to hear more interesting rhythms and intervals. "Lied Der Mignon" and "Si Mes Vers Avaient Des Ailes!" are lovely introductions into German and French. And "Oh, What A Beautiful City!" is a challenging, lovely American Spiritual. No doubt, you will find several seasons of songs in this collection that will help you to grow into an outstanding soprano.

A very useful book

My daughter, now a sophomore in college, asked for this book for a birthday present. She has performed songs from it during high school and now continuing into college. It has a great selection of soprano songs.
