About this title

Synopsis

The Second Book of Soprano Solos Part II, compiled and edited by Joan Frey Boytim, is a vocal collection for soprano singers featuring classical repertoire with vocal melody, lyrics, and piano accompaniment. It brings together more than 30 works in varied musical styles, languages, and periods, including art songs, opera selections, sacred music, and concert repertoire. Identified in the source as medium-difficult, the collection is for singers who have studied voice longer and are ready for more challenging student-level material.

The volume includes vocal notation, lyrics, and piano accompaniment for every selection, making it suitable for voice lessons, studio study, rehearsals, auditions, recitals, and personal practice. This Book Only edition does not include accompaniment recordings. Music by Mozart, Handel, Fauré, Schumann, Brahms, Barber, Sullivan, Vivaldi, Beach, Hahn, Wolf, and others supports work on interpretation, diction, phrasing, expression, and stylistic awareness.
