The Singer's Jazz Anthology is an exciting new series providing aspiring jazz vocalists and pianists with staples of the jazz repertoire. The singer's portion, matching the original sheet music, is paired with fresh, unique accompaniments arranged in an authentic jazz style and designed to enable the singer to sound like they're being backed by an accomplished jazz pianist. The accompaniments can be performed as written but include chord labels for pianists who are comfortable playing their own chord voicings. This book also includes access to recordings of the series arranger, Brent Edstrom, playing the piano accompaniments for use in rehearsal or performance. This edition features 25 must-know pop standards, including: Alfie · Blackbird · Bridge over Troubled Water · Dream a Little Dream of Me · Every Breath You Take · Fire and Rain · Goodbye Yellow Brick Road · Isn't She Lovely · Rolling in the Deep · (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay · Three Times a Lady · What the World Needs Now Is Love · Yesterday · and more./ Recueil / Voix Haute et Piano

Singing in EnglishInstrument : high voice and pianoNombre de Pages : 128The 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 or to singing in a specific context, such as musical theatre or oratorio. 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. 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.Content : Introduction - Purcell/Britten: Music for a while - Purcell/Britten: Man if for the woman made - Purcell/Britten: Sweeter than rose - Handel: O sleep, why dost thou leave me' - Handel: Where'er you walk - Haydn: The mermaid's song - Haydn: The spirit's song - Haydn: My mother bids me bind my hair - Warlock: The countryman - Warlock: The baylyn berith the bell away - Warlock: There is a lady sweet and kind - Finzi: Rollicum rorum - Finzi: Fear no more the heat o' the sun - Traditional (arr.
