Do you need a perfect contemporary song for a vocal audition or performance? The Singer's Anthology of Pop/Rock Ballads gives you over 30 pop/rock classics to choose from––all transposed into appropriate keys and based on the original recorded hits. These songs fall into the new wave of standards that you are hearing more often at cabaret, concerts, and special occasions. These songs are most often identified with singer-songwriters, so this collection features the work of Billy Joel, Carole King, Adele, and others. These arrangements were custom made for this collection as authentic performing editions, friendly to both the singer and accompanist. Keys were carefully chosen, either preserving the original recorded key or transposing as near the original as possible to increase accessibility. This volume is presented in separate editions for Soprano/Alto and Tenor/Baritone, with some songs shared between the two, and others specific to the voice type. The Tenor/Baritone edition features 30 songs, including: Ain't No Sunshine • All by Myself • Bridge over Troubled Water • Crying • Dust in the Wind • Fields of Gold • Fire and Rain • Hallelujah • Imagine • Lean on Me • Mad World • New York State of Mind • Rocket Man (I Think It's Gonna Be a Long Long Time) • Thinking Out Loud • Time After Time • Unchained Melody • With or Without You • Wonderful Tonight • Your Song • and more.

Written in 1885, the eight songs after texts by the now little-known poet Hermann von Gilm have a special place in Richard Strauss’corpus of Lieder. For the first time, he composed an entire set of songs on texts by a single poet, collecting them into one opus that was also to appear in print. Some of the numbers in it, like “Zueignung,†“Die Nacht,†and “Allerseelen,†are among the most popular Strauss songs of all time, but the entire cycle with its well-planned structure is also worthy of closer examination and performance. The aspiring composer quite consciously aligns himself with the tradition ranging from Schubert to Wolf, choosing the highly Romantic subject of unrequited love and illuminating its most diverse facets. The first edition of op. 10, published in 1887 for high voice, was followed during the composer's lifetime by transposed versions for middle and low registers, something that was then to become the rule for all of Strauss's songs. Henle has returned to these tried and tested transpositions for its own Urtext edition for low voice, so as to offer this wondrous song-cycle to all voice ranges.

A young Strauss, at age 21, composed these songs on poems from Hermann von Gilm's Letzte Blatter. In accompanying his wife, a soprano, Strauss produced the performance markings which are presented in this edition. The cycle contains three of his best-known songs in Zueignung, Nichts, and Die Nacht. This edition is based on the Richard Strauss Works Critical Edition.
