Review: The most useful collection of Schubert songs available! Unlike international editions, these new songbooks contain only a few favorite songs from Die Schöne Müllerin and Die Wintereisse, rather than the rarely-used entire song cycles; this leaves room for many more wonderful individual songs not normally found in Schubert collections. As in the other volumes in The Vocal Library, each song features introductory notes including information about the composition, the song's biographical context in Schubert's life, early performances and comments about poets. The contents for the High Voice and Low Voice editions are almost the same: the High Voice volume uniquely includes Der Hirt auf dem Felsen (with removable clarinet part) and Auf dem Strom (with removable horn part); the Low Voice volume uniquely includes Das Abendrot and Romanze. The cover is adorned with a charming 1821 watercolor depicting Schubert and friends at a summer gathering in Atzenbrugg. All songs have been newly edited and researched based on the most current historical material available.
Songlist: Der Wanderer, Sehnsucht, An die Nachtigall, Abendstern, Abschied (Mayrhofer), Am Grabe Anselmos, Am See (Bruchmann), Am See (Mayrhofer), An den Mond (Goethe), An den Tod, An die Entfernte, An die Geliebte, An die Laute, An die Leier, An die Musik, and more

Review: with CDs of diction lessons and piano accompaniments; includes historical notes, translations and International Phonetic Alphabet A collection of essential Schubert songs for students.

Review: With a graceful gift for lyrical vocal writing, English composer Roger Quilter (1877-1953) created a rich body of art songs. Very few composers working in English have matched his achievement of a living body of beloved, relevant, literate repertoire. The strong melodies and natural phrasing make his compositions perfect literature for the progressing singer. There has never before this publication been a significant collection of Quilter. This new edition conveniently and economically collects 55 songs, all in clear, new music engravings and in two keys (with original keys noted). Many of the songs have never been published in transposition before this edition. This collection features a biography of the composer and notes on the songs. 224 pages, sewn binding.
Songlist: April (Quilter), Autumn Evening (Quilter), Barbara Allen, Blow, blow, thou winter wind (Quilter), The Bracelet (Quilter), Brown is my love (Quilter), By a Fountainside (Quilter), By the Sea (Quilter), Cherry Ripe (Quilter), Cherry Valley (Quilter), Come away, death (Quilter), Come Back! (Quilter), Damask Roses (Quilter), Daybreak (Quilter), DREAM VALLEY (QUILTER), and more
