of the 17th and 18th Centuries

 

based on the editions of Alessandro Parisotti

Medium High Voice and Piano

 

Most voice teachers and singers still prefer the pianistic, wonderfully gratifying editions made by Alessandro Parisotti (1853-1913) of early Italian arias. This newly researched edition, with updated composer attributions, features new, clean music engravings. The collection includes the original contents of 24 Italian Songs and Arias of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries, plus four additional Parisotti editions.

 

Also includes:

• International Phonetic Alphabet for each song text
• Word for word translations for study
• Historical introduction for each aria
• Preface of Parisotti and his approach to this music
