Product Description

For well over a century, the G. Schirmer edition of 24 Italian Songs & Arias of the 17th and 18th Centuries has introduced millions of beginning singers to serious Italian vocal literature. Offered in two accessible keys suitable for all singers, it is likely to be the first publication a voice teacher will ask a first-time student to purchase. The classic Parisotti realizations result in rich, satisfying accompaniments which allow singers pure musical enjoyment. For ease of practice, carefully prepared accompaniments are also recorded on CD by John Keene, a New York-based concert accompanist and vocal coach who has performed throughout the United States for radio and television. Educated at the University of Southern California, Keene has taught accompanying at the university level and collaborated with Gian Carlo Menotti and Thea Musgrave on productions of their operas Alma Del Core Amarilli, Mia Bella (Caccini G) Caro mio ben Che Fiero Costume (Legrenzi G) Comme Raggio Di Sol (Caldara A) Danza, Danza, Fanciulla Gentile Gia Il Sole Dal Gange Il Mio Bel Foco (Marcello B) Lasciatemi Morire Le Violette (Scarlatti A) Nel Cor Piu Non Sento (Paisiello Nina (Pergolesi) Non Posso Disperar (De Luca S) O Cessate Di Piagarmi O Del Mio Dolce Ardor (Gluck C) Per La Gloria D'Adorarvi Pieta, Signore (Stradella A) Pur Dicesti,O Bocca Bella(Lotti) Se Florindo E Fedele(Scarlatti A Se Tu M'ami, Se Sospi(Pergolesi) Sebben, Crudele Tu Lo Sai Vergin, Tutto Amor Vittoria, Mio Core

Fantasic Accompaniment
This a great CD with the accompaniment to songs being played very well and most importantly at good tempos. Just the thing for the singer with little to no piano skills. With this CD you can practice almost anywhere.
