A Panorama of Songs

A Panorama of Songs fills the need for a graded selection of songs in six European languages from the 16th to the mid-20th century encompassing every musical period to assist beginner-level voice students and their teachers. The series utilizes new works along with the conventional lied repertoire, truly offering a new panorama. The three volumes of the series are arranged by level of difficulty, and all of them are available in both high and low voice editions. Each volume can be a complete unit in itself, including all six languages (English, French, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish) and presenting a cross-section of styles from the early Baroque to the 20th century. Additionally, each volume also includes online audio access for the piano accompaniments as well as recordings of all the original texts recited by native speakers. Interpretation of the songs is facilitated by literal English and Hungarian translations of their texts, and the reading of the Cyrillic script is assisted by transliteration. Ornamentation suggestions for the performance of the Baroque works are also included.
