Twenty-Four Italian Songs and Arias for Medium Low Voice | Classical Vocal Sheet Music with Piano Accompaniment | Baroque and Opera Songbook for Students and Teachers | Schirmer Edition Vol. 1723

by Schirmer's Library of Musical Classics

(Vocal Collection). For well over a century, the G. Schirmer edition of 24 Italian Songs & 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 available that were recorded 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.

These are classics - all lovely - performed a concert of these once. Worth learning and not too difficult.

Bought this for studying voice. The 24 greatest hits really does have it all. I've learned well over half of these songs and love every single one of them.

[Diana · Rating 5 out of 5]

A standard book for beginning (and non-beginning) singers and for good reason: the pieces are lovely and offer a variety of levels. I've learned several of these and there are still more that I'm hoping to add to my repertoire. It's a great volume to work through in a learning environment, but I have a nice time learning them on my own, too.

Any singer will have this book in their collection. Great Italian standards fairly easy arrangements and accompaniment.

This was a slog to learn the song I had to from this, but it wasn't the book's fault. I like that there are translations underneath the italian.
