The Language of Song (Low Voice) Advanced (Faber)

(CD Included)

The Language Of Song: Advanced (Low Voice) is part of the successful
series by Heidi Pegler and Nicola-Jane Kemp. The abilityto sing in
foreign languages is a much-needed skill for singers, but few vocal training
resources tackle this aspect comprehensively in one book. With this in mind,
ABRSM examiners and professional singers Heidi and Nicola-Jane have
written a graded series of songbooks that provide classic song repertoire,
carefully selected to develop the vital skills required to sing in a foreign
language

An invaluable resource for all singing students and teachers, each song gives
both a literal and poetic translation of each text, a detailed pronunciation
guide using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) guide and background
information on the songs as well as technical and musical teaching points. The
accompanying CD provides the text for each song spoken by a native speaker –
expert language consultants who specialise in coaching singers – as well as a
recording of each song accompaniment by international pianist John Lenehan.

Not just ideal for those taking graded singing exams, these are invaluable for
singers of any age exploring international song repertoire up to university
and college level.

Learn to sing this wonderful foreign language repertoire confidently and
effectively and celebrate the Language of Song!
