Andreas Ornithoparcus' ""Micrologus"" is a book written in 1609 that serves as an introduction to the art of singing. Ornithoparcus was a German composer and music theorist who sought to provide a comprehensive guide to singing that would be accessible to both beginners and experienced singers alike. The book covers a range of topics related to singing, including the proper use of the voice, breathing techniques, and the interpretation of musical notation. Ornithoparcus also provides practical exercises and examples to help readers improve their singing skills. The ""Micrologus"" is considered an important work in the history of music theory and remains a valuable resource for singers and music scholars today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
