For High Voice & Piano-An extraordinary collection of songs by the undisputed master of the English Baroque Henry Purcell. All forty of the songs within this volume are for High Voice and Piano and demonstrate his unique ability to marry dramatictexts and verses with delightful examples of English counterpoint. This volume has been edited and with realisations of the figured bass by Sergius Kagen.

Masterpiece Edition-Franz Schubert was born in Vienna in 1797. He was involved in music at an early age learning music theory and many different instruments including piano violin organ and voice. During his brief but prolific life he wrote a wide variety of music. His compositions included symphonies piano sonatas piano duets operas masses chamber works and several hundred songs. Among the hundreds of songs the most loved and revered is Ave Maria. Ave Maria was first published in 1826 under the German title Ellen's Gesang 111: Hymne and die Jungfrau (Ellen's Song 111: Hymn to the Virgin). The text used was taken from a novel written by Sir Walter Scott entitled 'Lady of the Lake'. It was then translated into German as it appeared in Schubert's song. After Schubert's death in 1828 the Latin text began being used and eventually surpassed either the use of the German or English text. 'Antiphon of the Blessed Virgin' is a text which has been used in religious contexts since the beginning of Christianity. This vocal classic was originally envisioned as a devotional piece but over time the magnificent beauty of both music and text has made this song equally popular for secular performances. Schubert's Ave Maria arranged for High Voice is recommended for Soprano or Tenor ranges. We have included a separate vocal line with lyrics written in Latin just above the piano accompaniment stave(s). The English translation is also included to explain this fabled story. This Minstrel Press Edition of Schubert's Ave Maria for High Voice is exclusively distributed by Santorella Publications.

50 Songs (High Voice/Hohe Stimme)-This edition of Mozart's Lieder is for High Voice with Piano Accompaniment and contains 50 delightful songs which have been edited by Hans Joachim Moser.

Vaccai's Metodo Pratico (Practical Method) for High Voice focuses on the art of the Italian language in performance. This advanced guide discusses different styles of singing and how to grasp the language in performance. The German singing translation has been provided by John Bernhoff. Lyrics are therefore presented in Italian and German and the all commentaries and notes are provided in English French and German.

Includes versions for High Medium or Low Voice (G F or E flat) with Piano accompaniment. Performance note by Gordon Stewart.Preface:The words for Panis Angelicus are from a longer hymn text Sacris Solemnis written by St Thomas Aquinas in the thirteenth century for the newly established Feast of Corpus Christi and would originally have been sung to a plainchant. César Franck set this verse of seven lines in 1872. His deep religious feelings fashioned a memorable melody one which is within the scope of all singers - its range is only a seventh and if you follow the word patterns the breathing sits comfortably. It is in its way simple and direct but with the chance to use the voice to its full. The Latin words are not hard to sing but if you prefer to perform it in English the translation conveys the essential meaning. Franck originally wrote Panis Angelicus for Tenor Cello Harp Organ and Double Bass but it slips easily into the Keyboard arrangement. The colours of the original scoring are evident the Organ's sustained chords the semi-staccato notes for the Harp and the Cello's countermelody beginning in bar 38 (which could be transferred to another melodic instrument if that suits the occasion). Some discreet repetition of the long tied notes and doubling of the bass at the octave can give the Piano more resonance. The accompaniment probably works best with a minimum pedalling and an Organist's style of fingering. The dynamics ask for a triumphant final statement of the words 'pauper servus' in bar 53. It makes complete musical sense to make a diminuendo for the word 'humilis' in bar 56 leading to a thoughtful postlude.

Orpheus Brittanicus contains thirteen exemplary songs for High Voice with Piano accompaniment by the master of English Baroque Henry Purcell. These have been carefully arranged with the figured bass parts realised by Benjamin Britten and the vocal parts edited by Peter Pears.

Original Keys for high Voice-'Faust' 'Wilhelm Meister' 'Egmont' even 'Erlkönig' - again and again Beethoven chose texts by Goethe for his song compositions. Now for the first time all of Beethoven?s songs with texts by the great Weimar writer areavailable in one volume. Alongside the famous setting of 'Wonne der Wehmut' and Mephisto?s satiric Flea Song op. 75 no. 3 there are also others to be discovered such as four different versions of Mignon?s Song 'Nur wer dieSehnsucht kennt'. The musical text in the Beethoven Complete Edition forms the basis for this volume. In addition the Flea Song has been revised following the autograph that recently reappeared.Original Keys for HighVoiceContents Goethe Songs Maigesang op. 52 4 Marmotte op. 52 7 Sehnsucht (4 versions) op.

Gems in their own right these songs offer tantalizing glimpses of what might have been had Browne been granted time.The life of gifted composer Organist musician and teacher W Denis Browne was cut cruelly short when at age 26 he was mortally wounded at the battle for Gallipoli just a few weeks after he buried his friend the poet Rupert Brooke on Skyros. In his brief years he had a particularly active musical life showing brilliance in his music criticism and composing a few works most of which were destroyed at his request after his death. These six songs and in particular To Gratiana Dancing and Singing demonstrate great gifts proceeding from bud to bloom andanticipating some of the impressionistic later works of Debussy.

Singing in French-French is a language beset with problems especially for non-native speakers. Where should there be a liaison between one word and the next? What mouth shape is needed to produce a tricky vowel sound? What about nasal vowels - or all those silent consonants? This book contains all the tricks of the trade: the singer need never fear singing in French again.The Boosey Voice Coach is an entirely new concept in vocal training. Not a self-teaching manual and not filled with off-putting diagrams this series is a wholly practical guide to singing - learning about technique and interpretation through the repertoire itself.Each volume is devoted to singing in one particularlanguage. In each volume of the series works from the vocal canon have been selected specifically by Mary King for their technical and musical challenges. Each piece is discussed at length starting with the words ('Text' - including a literal translation as appropriate) moving to general advice about how the song might be approached ('Notes') and then addressing the technical difficulties the music presents ('Skills'). Expressed in clear language Mary King's approach is direct practical and not limited to one particular teaching method. Any student will find that these books enrich and complement their vocal studies.

This volume brings together a collection of Donizetti's songs, some of which were published in several editions during his lifetime and in the years just following, while others have never been in print. Professor Paton has once again produced a collection that will be a valuable tool both for students of singing, and for professionals looking for fresh recital material.

A wonderful collection of Seven Early Songs from Arnold Schoenberg. Six of these songs were discovered together in a manuscript which now resides at the Arnold Schoenberg Institute in Los Angeles. Unfortunately many of the surviving copies of the songs were used as performance copies and none of them reached publication. Brought together for the first time in over 100 years these songs have been returned to their former glory by editor Leonard Stein. In the original German with English translation.
