There are some really nice songs in this book. The english translations are rubbish, but the songs themselves are really great. There are a few rarish ones in here too, so they make a nice addition to repertoire.There are duets, songs for baritones, mezzos, as well as sopranos and tenors.I'm a beginning soprano, and I'm currently learning Solvieg's song and Si Mes Vers Avaient Des Ailes. Both of which are beautiful and on the simple side, but I could also use them for recitals later down the road.I recommend this book highly.
Purchased for my daughter who is taking voice lessons...her teacher uses it. I don't know many of the songs, but it seems like it's a good variety of music for a beginning vocal music student...Beethoven, Brahms, Mendelssohn, Rachmaninoff, Schumann, Strauss among the composers. Challenging, but she enjoys the songs.
This book should have been updated a long time ago. There are a dozen other books out there that have the same songs in them that have clear print and are easier to read. If you are a vocalist considering this book, do your accompanist a favor and get your song in a book that has a more updated font. The music is terribly difficult to read, strictly from a pianist's line of sight.
56 songs you like to sing, well of course I've got to like it! This songbook has a lovely variety of songs-I only wish it came with an accompaniment CD!
Execllent song book, every song has the song words of the original language and English. I wish the companion CD will be available someday!
