American Art Songs for the Progressing Singer (Mezzo-Soprano)

Description

The vocal and musical abilities of high school and college singers have guided the song choices in this series. These volumes introduce classical voice students to American art song, with some of the most often studied music in the genre. The Soprano and Mezzo-Soprano/Alto volumes have the same song list, but in different keys. The same is true of the Tenor and Baritone/Bass song lists.
