(Vocal Collection). For well over a century, the G. Schirmer edition of
24 Italian Songs & Arias of the 17th and 18th Centuries has
introduced millions of beginning singers to serious Italian vocal
literature. Offered in two accessible keys suitable for all singers, it
is likely to be the first publication a voice teacher will ask a
first-time student to purchase. The classic Parisotti realizations
result in rich, satisfying accompaniments which allow singers pure
musical enjoyment. For ease of practice, carefully prepared
accompaniments are also recorded on CD by John Keene, a New York-based
concert accompanist and vocal coach who has performed throughout the
United States for radio and television. Educated at the University of
Southern California, Keene has taught accompanying at the university
level and collaborated with Gian Carlo Menotti and Thea Musgrave on
productions of their operas.
