Most voice teachers and singers still prefer the pianistic, wonderfully gratifying editions made by Alessandro Parisotti (1853-1913) of early Italian arias. This newly researched edition, with updated composer attributions, features new, clean music engravings. The collection includes the original contents of 24 Italian Songs and Arias of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries plus four additional Parisotti editions. Also includes international phonetic alphabet for each song text, word for word translations for study, historical introduction for each aria, and a preface on Parisotti and his approach to this music. This compilation includes the High, Medium High, Medium, Medium Low, and Low editions in one book, perfect for teacher reference. / Voix Et Piano

Arranged for Medium-Low Voice with Piano accompaniment. Most of the arias in this collection were written in the 1600s and 1700s by composers who were intent on expressing their feelings and entertaining their listeners. They wrote for the present and didn't write many instructions for their performers as they would always be present when their music was performed. However, the success of their music transcended their lifetimes, and over the years editions have become nothing like their original forms. This edition seeks to return to the composers' original intentions and produce an authoritative and faithful re-production of their works. Includes an accompanying CDof professionally recorded backing tracks. / Opéra-opérette / Recueil / Voix
