Some of the
most famous and enduring
songs from “the
great American
songbook†have been
selected and edited
especially for singers in
this landmark series,
with songs from George
& Ira Gershwin,
Richard Rodgers &
Lorenz Hart, Jerome Kern,
Cole Porter, Irving
Berlin and many others.
The music all dates from
the 1920s to the early
1960s, in a musical style
that pre-dates the rock
era. The majority of the
songs appear in all four
volumes, though some
songs are uniquely in the
women's volumes or men's
volumes. Unlike standard
piano/vocal sheet music,
the edition does not have
the melody in the piano
accompaniment, which
gives the singer more
vocal freedom. Keys have
been carefully chosen for
each voice type. Each
volume also includes a
historical note about
each song, often citing
recording artists who
became associated with a
song.
