John Leavitt: A Treasury Of Song For Sight-Singing And Performance

Beskrivning

Sight-singing is important in the development of independent musicianship. The music in this collection will aid in the development of this skill but also be interesting enough to motivate the singer and be substantive enough to be useful in a variety of performance applications.

Song categories include Patriotic, Christmas, Folk Song, Renaissance and Baroque Part Songs and Spirituals. All songs will stand alone as a cappella settings. Several songs also have optional Piano accompaniments. Sight-reading or analysis tips are included for each selection.
