lyricalstudiescollection.jpg Lyrical Studies Collection
$53.90 $45.00 On Sale ! ! !
This is a collection of three excellent lyrical studies books, available together at a low, low sale price.

Italian vocal coach Giuseppe Concone (1810-1861) composed singing studies designed to develop phrasing and breath control that are still widely in use by voice teachers. These have been transcribed by John F. Sawyer as the Concone Lyrical Studies for Trumpet or Horn, and are as valuable for brass players as they have been for singers.

The Concone Complete Solfeggi compile many more such studies, in these transcriptions by John Korak. This method includes a CD-ROM with printable piano accompaniment and with SmartMusic files for playing the etudes with interactive computer accompaniment.

Bel Canto for Brass, from the Frits Damrow Trumpet Collection (Damrow is principal trumpet of the Amsterdam Concertgebouw Orchestra, recently voted in Gramophone magazine to be the world's best orchestra), also contains Italian vocalises and an accompaniment CD.
