Lovers, Lasses & Spring (Soprano Ages Mid-Teens and Up)

Lovers, Lasses & Spring (14 Classical Songs for Soprano Ages Mid-Teens and Up) ** by Joan Frey Boytim. Vocal Collection. Play-Along. Softcover with CD. 88 pages. Published by Hal Leonard.

'Lovers, Lasses and Spring' complements 'The First Book of Soprano Solos' and 'The First Book of Soprano Solos Part II'. It is a selection of beginning coloratura songs, to be used to teach vocal agility, and comes with an accompaniment CD. The songs are all in English, and the ranges tend to explore the higher end of the soprano voice, using melismas and scale passages within a moderately florid style of singing. The style of music in 'Lovers, Lasses and Spring' permits a freedom of singing that allows the voice to soar, something that sopranos really enjoy at this stage of development.
