The demand for literature in Spanish is a reflection of our changing American culture. Here are twelve songs in two keys that can serve as an introduction to art songs in Spanish for a voice student. International PhoneticAlphabet is included for each song text as are translations for study. Laura Ward has recorded wonderful informed piano accompaniments on the companion CD. Before the accompaniment a excellently instructive pronunciationlesson recorded by a native Spanish speaker (a university Spanish professor) is heard. The songs are by Manuel de Falla Enrique Granados and Fernando Obradors with an additional two Mexican folksong arrangements. A beautifulVelasquez painting is seen on the cover.
