The most comprehensive collection of Broadway selections ever organized specifically for the singer. Each of the five volumes in the series contains important songs chosen because they are appropriate fpr each voice. All selections are in their authentic, original form, and taken from the original vocal score. The songs in The Singer's Musical Theatre Anthology, written by such noted composers as Kurt Weill, Richard Rodgers, Stephen Sondheim, and Jerome Kern, are vocal masterpieces ideal for the auditioning, practicing or performing vocalists.

A selection of songs from the musical stage presented in their authentic settings, excerpted from the original vocal scores. Arranged for soprano vocals and piano. / Répertoire d'Examen / Recueil / Voix

These vocal scores (BA9181, BA9182, BA9183) of Mozart?s concert and insert arias are based on the ?New Mozart Edition? (NMA). The first three volumes comprise all arias for soprano and orchestra. They are classified according to voice type (high soprano, soprano, low soprano and alto) and arranged chronologically within the volumes.

Unlike the NMA the musical text presented in these editions is free from practical references on performance aspects or suggestions on performance practice. Instead, each volume contains a accompanying brochure, with detailed explanations on the execution of appoggiaturas and other performance practice phenomena which are relevant to every aria. In addition, there is a choice of suggestions for the performance of cadenzas and lead-ins as well as a suggestion for the ornamentation of dal segno parts, which are often found in the early Mozart arias.

? Arrangement of arias according to voice type

? Idiomatic piano reductions to the individual arias

for soprano and piano. Par CASKEN JOHN. Chansons de Verlaine were completed in 2006. The third song, Colloque sentimental, was written in 2003 for Alison Smart and Katharine Durran’s New French Song project. It was as a result of having written one short song to words by Verlaine that I subsequently decided to set two further poems to make a group of three. All three were also set by Debussy: L’ombre des arbres and Chevaux de bois appear in Ariettes Oubliées, while Colloque sentimental belongs to Debussy’s second set of Fêtes Galantes. The poems I have grouped together are linked by the idea of three different landscapes. In the first, Verlaine precedes the words of his own sad, pale landscape with words from Cyrano de Bergerac about a nightingale who fears himself about to fall into a river and drown. In the second poem the landscape has been occupied by a fairground where men, women and children watch as the hobby-horses go round and round before night falls and the church tolls a passing-bell. The third poem takes us into an old park where two ghosts recall their past. The one wonders if the other remembers the happy days of their past lives, but the other doesn’t want to remember, barely acknowledging the closeness they once shared, seeing only that ‘hope has fled, defeated, towards the dark sky.’ I am very grateful to Roger Nichols and Dominique Mols for their advice with the setting of the French texts and with the translations. John Casken Colloque sentimental was first performed by Alison Smart and Katherine Durran at the Purcell Room in London on 13 July 2004/ Répertoire / Soprano et Piano

Cette remarquable série ouvre des perspectives passionnantes du répertoire stimulante et enrichissante pour le chanteur sagace et aventureux. Comme pour les volumes de compagnon Peters de français Operatic Arias, cette série russe présente bon nombre des airs célèbres à juste titre, mais aussi leur juxtapose avec autres gemmes moins familiers, dont undoutedly méritent une reconnaissance plus large. Une grande partie du répertoire sélectionné est parfaitement adaptee aux fins de l'audition, afin que chaque volume est un Trésor pour les chanteurs professionnels et des étudiants. / Voix Et Piano

Par ADES THOMAS. Thomas Adès's Op. 1 is a romantic, fanciful, finely wrought response to colourful 'minor poems' of T.S. Eliot, with ingenuities unobtrusively tucked away into the composition. At the close of 'New Hampshire' the piano sings in counterpoint 'Do you want the stars to play with, the moon to run away with?' 'Rannoch' explores chromatic-scale descents as inventively as Verdi explored an 'enigmatic scale' in his Ave Maria. They underpin, without jeopardizing, his spontaneous response to Eliot's lines. 'Cape Ann', bearing an 'Hommage à Messiaen' dedication, rings with the birdsongs evoked in the poem. / Répertoire / Soprano et Piano
