,,Una voce poco profonda: Curtain up for Trouser Roles and Heroines Whether the voice is lyric light or heavy, whether it can master coloratura, perhaps even has dramatic potential - in the OperAria mezzo-soprano and alto volumes, singers with a deeper voice and a special talent for the trouser role through to the heroine find everything they need for their performance. Throbbing of the heart? Yes, that's simply part of the game! Feeling nervous? No, because actually nothing can go wrong with OperAria. The best vocal coach for auditions and current theatre practice.

ISBN 9781491160992. UPC: 680160919598. Key: E minor. Finnish, English. Finnish Carol with additional words by Dan Miner.
Accompanied by piano and oboe, this traditional carol offers treble choirs an opportunity to explore the beauty of traditional Finnish music. This arrangement offers each voice part the opportunity to lead as well as harmonize the melody throughout the verses. Care should be taken to ensure the melody is properly balanced through the harmonization in each verse. Tenutos are marked throughout to help choirs discover the simplistic beauty of this carol. Marked pitches should be stressed, but not accented. To further aid in the flow of the melodic line, I suggest a slight crescendo in each measure from beat 4 over the bar-line into beat 1 (as in m. 16-17) unless otherwise marked. An English paraphrase is offered in addition to the original Finnish text to make this song accessible to choirs of all abilities. It is my sincere hope that through this arrangement, choirs and audiences will fall in love with this simplistically beautiful carol!

Messiah 1741 - new light on Handel's masterpieceThe focus of this new edition is the Messiah as first conceived by the composer in 1741: before its first performance in Dublin in 1742, before the first London performances of the mid 1740s, before the final Foundling Hospital performances in the late 1750s. The editor succeeds in creating a 21st-century edition from the perspective of 1741, making clear that Messiah was a genius hit from the start.Messiah 1741 - the first and only complete edition of Handel's autograph scoreThorough information on Handel's performance practice in 1741 (including topics such as orchestration, continuo, text underlay and specific questions on interpretation)It offers a reconstruction of the wind parts according to contemporary sourcesPiano vocal score with contemporary vocal ornamentationFirst edition including the German text by Herder - a monument of the German enlightenment - which is contentwise and phonetically closer to Jennens' text than any other translation, therefore being a perfect singable alternativeThe appendix contains additionally the most popular and important aria versions composed after 1741 for practical reasons.Throughout this new edition, creative yet pragmatic scholarship shines through, and the Preface and Critical Report are thorough and unusually fascinating. ... I'm very happy to own the full score, and if I were starting out now, I'd invest in the whole kit and caboodle.(Jeremy Summerly, Choir & Organ)Critical Edition with the original English text by Charles Jennens as well as the German translation by Johann Gottfried Herder, including a comprehensive historical and musicological preface and detailed critical commentary.
