ARIAS FOR YOUNG VOICES
Arias for Young Voices is a new aria anthology - the perfect beginners' aria anthology that provides a complete platform to launch your classical singing studies.
Having worked with young and professional voices in many countries for decades, few teachers have a better background for editing such an anthology than Barbro Marklund.
The repertoire is selected to develop young voices at ages 16-26. The standard of the arias is such that they can be performed in auditions, proposed for concert programmes, sung in church concerts, recitals, and of singing competitions and scholarship tests. And, of course, we can perform these arias with pleasure and great satisfaction for the rest of our lives.
The repertory expands on the "standard" repertory, and includes arias from maybe lesser known works. Together with suggestions on further repertory from the same composers, this will give young singers a unique possibility to grow their own repertory.
COMMENTARIES
Each aria is accompanied by a short biography about composers and librettists, information about the premiere, vocabulary, voice fach, synopsis and information about act or movement. In addition you will find useful tips on other roles and arias if you want to continues singing more music by the same composer.
LANGUAGES
All music is presented in its original language: English, German, French, Italian and Latin, Swedish, Norwegian, Russian, Latvian and Czech. All languages are translated into English with full IPA translations.
