I Sonetti Lussuriosi is a collection of pieces by world-renowned composer Michael Nyman. This work is a setting of 8 pieces of erotic poetry by Italian poet Pietro Aretino. This is the VocalScore which can be used for either the Piano Quintet or Orchestra version.

At the world premiere of Nyman's work Marie Angel voiced both the male and female characters with the Orchestra di Santa Cecilia conducted by MichaelNyman himself.

Inspired by the darkly surreal world of Franz Kafka Francisco Coll?s first chamber opera Café Kafka is an explosive gem. Taking its cue from Meredith Oakes? punchy cleverly-assembled libretto this dazzling score brings out every nuance of the bizarre scenario?s comedy irony and profundity.

?Mili Bermejo?s Vocal Jazz Improvisation is the most comprehensive vocal book I have ever seen on improvisation. Her years of research and her wisdom and artistry leave no stones unturned. I would recommend this book to instrumentalists as well, to develop their ears and breadth of expression.?
?Jerry Bergonzi, Jazz Saxophonist, Composer, Author, Educator

?I have been a huge fan of Mili as an artist for many years now, and have admired her impeccable skills as a teacher for just as long. Seeing Mili perform in duo with Dan Greenspan is one of the great wonders of the world. They make voice and bass seem like an orchestra, harmonically rich and complete, and emotionally compelling. How lucky for us that Mili has written a book on improvisation from her own assured and gracious vantage point. Her approach is accessible, organic, personal, and best of all, inspiring! She takes the fear factor out and provides tools to make improvisation a truly creative and joyful experience.?
?Peter Eldridge, Jazz Singer, Pianist, Composer (New York Voices)

Here is a book with clever, effectively organized information for all vocalists to develop a practical framework that covers the foundation to find confidence, strength and ultimately freedom as a vocal improviser.
Mili?s music speaks to the heart, overflowing with humanity, joy, and compassion, and this book does the same. Mili traces a clear path, guiding us step by step along the way. She draws on her own experience, which I must say reflects all vocalists? experience, as we walk this fascinating journey of jazz singing.?
?Magos Herrera, GRAMMY-nominated Jazz Singer

?How lucky for all of us that Mili Bermejo put her decades of experience and skill as both performer and teacher into this book. What a gift! Thank you, Mili.?

Spil i Kaeder-Formålet med denne bog er at give jer undervisere inspiration til forskellige sammenspilsmetoder og give en række arrangementer der kan bruges på mange forskellige måder. Vi har erfaring med når man beskriver undervisningsmetoder med ord at det meget hurtigt kan blive snørklet teksttungt og svært at forestille sig hvad og hvordan man skal gøre. For at undgå dette har vi valgt at lave tydelige videointroduktioner som bogens hovedelement. Når man ser og hører metoden i praksis forstår man meget hurtigere hvordan den skal udføres. Bogens tekst skal ses som en støtte til videoerne og somet hurtigt overblik over metodernes forløb. På denne måde håber vi at I undervisere hurtigt kan komme i gang og bruge vores metoder og arrangementer. God fornøjelse!
