The Great Poets

Is your choir ready to move beyond simple solfege for sight-singing? The purpose of this series is to liberate your choir from excessive dependence on solfege and enable them to move on to the next level of musicianship - sight-singing with words. Not intended to be a substitute for systematic solfege training, rather it assumes a reasonable ability in solfege as a prerequisite. This volumes are filled with easy-to-read music that will build your singers' confidence in their ability to sight-read with text. It gradually progresses, both rhythmically and harmonically, while exposing your students to some of the finest poetry of the ages. Poets include Shakespeare, Bronte, Keats, Dickinson, and many more. Available in a fully reproducible digitally downloadable format, these budget-stretching materials are useful year after year.
