Volume 4 - Songs 1922-1923-This society edition contains fourteen songs chronologically arranged and each with a detailed preface giving the relevant historical background to the composition. Warlock was very pedantic about original keys. He deplored transpositions but bowed to their necessity in performing editions. In this edition keys have been chosen to suit the medium voice. This generally means a range of about an octave and a fifth with nothing below B flat and nothing above F sharp/G flat.

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.
