Customer Reviews

An excellent collection of classics
If you are a baritone, an alto, or a mezzo soprano who sings in church, you will find this book handy. Students of classical singing will also appreciate it.
The sheet music includes 10 of the sacred classics that are most often used throughout the liturgical year: Bizet's "Agnus Dei," Franck's "Panis Angelicus," the Bach-Gounod "Ave Maria," and others of the same stature. The accompaniments are easy enough for the average church pianist or organist.
There is a CD with each piece sung very well, and also practice tracks with just the accompaniment. This is a big help to music students and soloists who like to practice with accompaniment at home (or, hey, in the car -- why not?). The CD can be adjusted, when played on your computer, to slow down sections for intensive work.
This is a very useful book for the church musician, singer, or singing teacher to keep on hand.
