Singing in English-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 particular language. 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 thenaddressing 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.Singing in English: Even for native speakers the English language presents singers with particular difficulties. How do you manage diphthongs for example? How do you make consonants clear without spoiling the vocal line? How do you make sense of the story-telling in a strophic folksong? These issues and more are covered in this book which contains songs with texts in the English language from Britain and elsewhere.

This edition is suitable for lessons and for preparing for entrance exams in the subsidiary subject of singing for school or church music as well as for concert performances. The pieces impart the specific techniques of gospel singing. / Voix Haute Et Piano

Instrumentation : High voice - Pf (Fr.) Those interested in French music have often had reason to be grateful to Roger Nichols; his writings on Debussy, Ravel, Messiaen and Poulenc are indispensable to the music lover. Nichols now turns his attentions to the mélodie, where it is his mission to encourage singers to explore beyond the well-trodden paths of French song. In these two anthologies he does not ignore masterpieces by composers of the stature of Fauré and Duparc, but sets them alongside music - almost impossible to find elsewhere in print - by such under-estimated figures as Reber, Viardot, Massé and Paladilhe. Even the more celebrated songs are often not easily found in practical editions, which makes this selection an ideal starting point for wider exploration. In each of these volumes the songs appear in the chronological order of their composer's birth, but Nichols somehow contrives a line-up of music which seems delightfully arbitrary at the same time as carefully designed to enrich everyone's understanding of the mélodie. The books also contain a remarkable amount of scholarship, lightly worn and pithily expressed. As well as complete translations of the songs, there is a useful and concise introduction on singing in French, together with an illuminating historical note and critical commentary; and Nichols gives full due to the poets who were of crucial importance in the development of the mélodie tradition.
