This outstanding series is an encouragement to beginning singers in preparing a vocal solo. Songs have been carefully chosen for each voice type after consulting many official state contest repertoire lists. All the songs, for instance, are on the Texas list. The series will be useful to any novice singer, not just limited to those preparing an actual contest solo. Each volume contains 10 songs: 5 art songs in English, an African-American spiritual, 2 songs in Italian, a song in German and a song in Spanish. There are new editions and engravings of all songs. Biographical information is included on each composer. Interpretive suggestions are given for each song, and the preface on “Learning a Song” is especially instructive. Each companion recording includes beautiful performances of all the songs by a professional singer, and excellent accompaniments by pianist Laura Ward and pronunciation guides in Italian, German and Spanish. Audio is accessed online using the unique code inside each book and can be downloaded or streamed according to your preference.

[@aidan9876]

Weep you no more, sad fountains;
What need you flow so fast?
Look how the snowy mountains Heaven’s sun doth gently waste!
But my sun’s heavenly eyes View not your weeping,
That now lies sleeping, Softly now, softly lies Sleeping.
Sleep is a reconciling, A rest that peace begets;
Doth not the sun rise smiling When fair at even he sets?
