The educational collection of the world vocal classics embraces musical and poetical masterpieces created in European countries during different epochs. This is the exposition of dominating vocal styles and schools having been undergoing now interpenetration and reciprocal influence, now isolation and independent development. As the material is organized according to diverse trends, historical tendencies and national cultural peculiarities, it would be rather easy for teachers and students of all possible grades. Singers are welcome to enrich their repertoire.CONTENTS:H. Purcell. AH! HOW PLEASANT â?TIS TO LOVEH. Purcell. SINCE FROM MY DEARH. Purcell. MORE LOVE, OR MORE DISDAINH. Purcell. FAIREST ISLE.
