Review:

...significant additions... (Nats Journal)

...a solid tome...elegantly printed...will help many to a fuller understanding of the poems and prevent the kind of howlers to which music students are otherwise prone...should be in all libraries, which student singers and accompanists are likely to use. (Singing Magazine)

...of immense benefit to the singing profession...another invaluable linguistic and expressive tool...high quality materials. (Barbara Doscher, Voice Faculty, Univ. of Colorado.)
