Antonio Vivaldi : Vivaldi Opera Arias for Mezzo-Soprano/Alto   

Vivaldi's operas have been rediscovered in recent years to be thrilling vocal showpieces, championed by Cecilia Bartoli, Ewa Podles, and many others. This new edition was produced by Ricordi in collaboration with the Istituto Italiano Antonio Vivaldi of Venice. With extensive introductory historical articles.

Songlist: Nel profondo cieco mondo from ORLANDO FURIOSO (Vivaldi), Sol da te mio dolce amore from ORLANDO FURIOSO (Vivaldi), Sorge l'irato nembo from ORLANDO FURIOSO (Vivaldi), Se cresce un torrente from ORLANDO FURIOSO (Vivaldi), Così potessi anch'io from ORLANDO FURIOSO (Vivaldi), Fingi d'avere un cor from ARSILDA (Vivaldi), Precipizio è del mio petto from ARSILDA (Vivaldi), Di Cariddi li vortici ondosi from ARSILDA (Vivaldi), Di verde ulivo from TITO MANLIO (Vivaldi), Tu dormi in tante pene from TITO MANLIO (Vivaldi), Qual serpe tortuosa from LA FIDA NINFA (Vivaldi), Cento donzelle festose, e belle from LA FIDA NINFA (Vivaldi)

The Sieber Vocalises: It is important to know why Sieber is so good for the voice. He was a Viennese, Italian-trained voice teacher who knew the importance of vowel alteration and its role in keeping the balance of the registers. The Sieber Vocalises are designed to balance the registers using 8 measure melodies based on the Italian syllables da, me, ni, po, to, la, be. The register balance is achieved in the ingenious way Sieber arranges the syllables. Again, his goal it to allow the space of the open vowels in the closed vowels, and the ring of the closed vowels in the open vowels. Lindquest called these vocalises the 'bridge between vocalizing and singing music'. In my 25 years of teaching, I have never found a singer that the Sieber Vocalises did not help tremendously. 36 Eight-Measure Vocalises for Elementary Teaching for alto voices.

A collection of pieces for Soprano or Alto, composed by George Frideric Handel.

Giovanni Battista Lamperti was a highly-regarded Italian singing teacher who was considered to one of the best of his era. Many of Giovanni's students became international opera stars. These vocalises are designed to prepare the soprano voice for performance. "I recommend the daily use of these Exercises, particularly to Alto singing a melodramatic repertory; because exercises of this kind promote length of respiration, and delay the deterioration and undue vibration (tremolo) of the voice. Beginners should confine themselves to a regularly limited range, so as not to weaken the medium of the voice and should extend their compass according to individual progress and development." - G.B. Lamperti

Expertly arranged Vocal Method by Giuseppe Concone from the Kalmus Edition series. This is from the Romantic era.

Panofka was one of the great 19th century voice teachers. His background as a violinist and composer greatly informed these athletic bel canto vocalise compositions. Op. 81 is for Alto, Baritone, or Bass.

Henry E. Krehbiel : 29 Opera Arias for Altos   

This rich selection of 29 alto-range opera arias spans from the dawn of Italian opera to the late nineteenth century, featuring early arias by Lully, Purcell, and Scarlatti; eighteenth-century compositions by Handel and Gluck; and latter-day works by Meyerbeer, Rossini, Donizetti, Glinka, and Verdi. This edition features a detailed and scholarly preface by musicologist Henry E. Krehbiel and a new introduction by Roelof Oostwoud. Alto-range vocal majors, vocal instructors, classically trained professional singers, and enthusiasts of vocal music will appreciate this well-chosen and modestly priced compilation.

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.

Songlist: At Parting, Early One Morning, Ev'ry Time I Feel the Spirit, The First Primrose, Gently, Johnny, My Jingalo, If No One Ever Marries Me, It Was a Lover and His Lass, Last Night, Little Wild Rose, Long, Long Ago, The Lotus Flower, The Maiden's Wish, Mother, Oh Sing Me to Rest, Now Is The Month Of Maying, Oh, Come Again, Beautiful Spring, Shepherd, Play a Little Air!, Sing Me to Sleep, Snowbells, That's an Irish Lullaby, There Are Plenty of Fish in the Sea, Vienna, My City of Dreams, Who'll Buy My Lavender?, You Are Free

More great classical material for progressing vocal students, from the leading American expert in teaching the young voice. The series started with The First Book of Solos, and then, at the same difficulty level, came The First Book of Solos - Part II. The Second Book of Solos, originally released in 1993, is for singers who have taken voice a little longer and are capable of more challenges, but is still decidedly student-level material, and music that can be sung by good high school students. The new The Second Book of Solos - Part II set is at exactly the same level as The Second Book of Solos. It shares the same features: a deliberate variety of music in different styles and languages, including a few sacred selections, with over 30 songs per book. Available as books only, or in packs with two CDs of piano accompaniments recorded by Laura Ward.

Songlist: Affanni del pensier, Ah, Love but a Day!, All mein Gedanken, Allerseelen, As thou wilt, Father, Au jardin de mon p?re, Avril, Before my window, Chanson triste, Cherry Valley, Die Mainacht, Du meines Herzens Kr?nelein, Du Ring an meinem Finger, Et exultavit spiritus meus from MAGNIFICAT, Immer leiser wird mein Schlummer, L'Heure exquise, La speranza ? giunta from OTHO, Lord to thee, each night and day from THEODORA, Lord, lead me in thy righteousness, Lungi da te, Mon jardin, Nebbie, Qui sedes from GLORIA, Se tu della mia morte, Serenity, Song of Devotion, Song of the Open, Tears, The Awakening, The Twenty-third Psalm, and more

PAUL, By dimpled brook, Clair de lune, Corals, Dolce scherza, Evening Song, I walked today where Jesus walked, Ich liebe dich, If there were dreams to sell, Landscape, Lark now leaves his watery nest, The, Little Old Lady in Lavender Silk, The, Lord, how long wilt Thou forget me?, Louts Bloom, The, Menuet d'Exaudet, Mit einer Wasserlilie, Morgen!, Morgen-Hymne, My lover is a fisherman, Nussbaum, Der, O lovely Peace from JUDAS MACCABAEUS, O praise the Lord, Over the land is April, Prayer of the Norwegian Child, Premi?re Danse, Sapphische Ode, Since first I met thee, Slumber Song, and more

More great teaching material at the same level as the first volume. Over 30 songs in each volume with no song duplicated between voice types. A student could easily begin either in The First Book or The First Book Part II, or the books may be used concurrently.

Songlist: Ah! Mio Cor (Ah! My Heart), As I Went A-Roaming, Auf Dem Meere (On The Ocean), Ave Verum (Jesu, Word of God Incarnate), Beneath A Weeping Willow's Shade, Bist du bei mir (You Are With Me), The Blue-Bell, C'est Mon Ami (My Friend), Carme?a, The Carol Of The Birds, Clouds, Come Ye Blessed, Cr?puscule (Twilight), Danny Boy, Das Erste Veilchen (The First Violet), Die Stille (Silence), Die Stille Wasserrose (The Silent Waterlily), Dream Valley, Elegie, Gott Im Fr?hling (God in Springtime), Es Muss Ein Wunderbares Sein (It Must Be Wonderful), Keine Sorg'um Den Weg (Love Finds Out The Way), A Legend, The Lovely Song My Heart Is Singing, Mystery's Song, Nymphs and Shepherds, Rend'il Sereno al Ciglio (Bring To Your Eyes), Separazione (Parting), S?r?nade (Sing, Smile, Slumber), The Sleep that Flits on Baby's Eyes, and more

This is among the most widely used teaching repertoire for singers in the U.S. Over 30 songs in each book, including American and British art songs, folk song arrangements, sacred songs and a sampling of beginning songs in German, Italian, Spanish and French. There is a completely different song selection for each voice type.

Songlist: American Lullaby, The Cherry-Tree, Chi Vuol La Zingarella, Christopher Robin Is Saying His Prayers, Cloud-Shadows, Crabbed Age And Youth, Der Blumenstrauss, Der Schwur, Die Bekehrte, El Majo Timido, Evensong, Go 'way from my Window, Ici-Bas, Jesus Walked This Lonesome Valley, L'Anneau d'Argent, The Lamb, The Lass From the Low Countree, The Lord Is My Shepherd, Loveliest Of Trees, Morning, O Rest In The Lord, O Sleep, Why Dost Thou Leave Me, Open Our Eyes (McFarlan), Prayer, Preguntales a las Estrellas (Haugue), Silent Noon, The Sky Above the Roof, The Statue at Czarkor-Selo, The Crucifixion, This Little Rose, and more

Step up to the next level with more student repertoire, continuing from The First Book of Solos and The First Book of Solos - Part II. The more than 30 songs in each book require a little more vocal range and musical sophistication, but are still decidedly student material.

This series now has a new "Part II" for each voice type, at the same level as the original volumes. This is preparatory material for The First Book of Solos series, with modest ranges and all songs in English, including very easy art songs, folksong arrangements and vintage popular songs. The song selection is completely different for each voice type with 18-20 songs per volume.

Songlist: The Bonny LIghter Boy, Cradle Song, Go From my Window Go, Johnny has Gone for a Soldier, Just for This, Kiss Me Again, Little Boy Blue, Love's own Sweet Song, The Mission of a Rose, My Days Have Been so Wondrous Free, Philosophy, Second Hand Rose, Soft-footed Snow, Solder Sill You Marry Me?, Somewhere a Voice is Calling, Spring Sorrow, The Stranger-Man, A Swan, Twas in the Lovely Month of May

This is the perfect first collection for many voice students, whether they are teens or college singers or adults. Joan Boytim has selected songs appropriate for each voice type, and has chosen keys that suit the vocal needs of novice singers studying in traditional, generally classical lyric singing. The editions of the songs in these collections are short and straight-forward. Teachers have found these books invaluable. To make the collections even more useful, each volume is offered in a book/companion CD edition with piano accompaniments recorded by pianist Laura Ward.

Bordogni made his operatic debut at La Scala, Milan in 1813 in Rossini's Tancredi, and became very active in promoting that composer's music. He appeared in many of Rossini's operas and later became one of the leading teacher of singing and became a teacher at the Paris Conservatoire.

Mathilde Marchesi was a mezzo-soprano, teacher of singing, and exponent of the bel canto technique. She was an advocate of a naturalistic style of singing: she called for a fairly instinctive method of breathing and was particularly concerned with vocal registration, calling it "the Alpha and Omega of the formation and development of the female voice, the touchstone of all singing methods".

This follow-up to Volume One of Susan Anders' Vocal Workout includes 18 fully-produced pop, rock and jazz songs and instructional tracks, and is the same level of difficulty (so using Volume One is not a prerequisite). Beginning singers can learn how to sing correctly and develop their voices by singing through the workout at their own pace, with or without the guidebook. Experienced singers can skip the audio singing lessons and use the workout to warm up and maintain their vocal technique and strength. Song stylizing concepts are included, as well as chapters on staying healthy on tour and how to keep aging vocal cords strong. This book is tailored specifically for Altos and Basses.

This is the most serious and useful collection yet published of solo arias from oratorios, masses and cantatas. The literature was confined to work by major composers, and by-passes the dated oratorio literature found in previous collections. The most famous music is here, and so is interesting and less famous music by masters. There are new music engravings for each aria, and extensive historical notes and translations. Solo instrumental obbligato parts, which can be cut from the book, are included on appropriate selections.
