Edition for mezzo-soprano and alto in the
Arias for Young Voices series contains 10 sacred arias and 20 operatic arias. All to build up the voice in the ages between approx. 16–26 years. The Aryans have an impressive span of about 300 years. They are carefully selected according to pedagogical criteria and are short, singable with limited register and technical difficulties.
Each aria is accompanied by a short biography of the composer and librettist, information about the premiere, voice compartment, background of the work, action and information about the act or movement. In addition, useful tips about other roles and arias if you want to continue singing more music by the same composer. All in English.
All arias have original language in the sheet music and the anthology contains a total of nine languages with translation and phonetics. The range of the aria is notated, so that one can more easily appreciate the tessitura. The simple chord analysis available is valuable for those users who are not so confident accompanists.
The series also includes anthologies for the voice fields soprano, tenor and baritone & bass.
