Reviews for Exploring Art Song Lyrics: Translation and Pronunciation of the Italian, German & French Repertoire

Finally! One book containing our standard song repertoire and much more-- meticulously transcribed and beautifully translated. This is the book we will keep closest at hand and recommend to our students. Times 750, herein lies linguistic access to the lyricism, pathos and drama that is song. ?Margo Garrett, Professor of Collaborative Piano and Vocal Arts, The Juilliard School Superior, inclusive, informative, and best of all, very well-organized and easy to use! Exploring Art Song Lyrics has my highest recommendation! ?Warren Jones, Pianist, Faculty, Manhattan School of Music, and The Music Academy of the West
