- Book 1 of 8: Vocal Selections
This Broadway vocal selection book is created for singers, pianists, teachers, and musical theatre fans who want a reliable resource for study, rehearsal, and performance. It is well suited for intermediate performers, vocal students, and accompanists preparing for auditions, lessons, recitals, or personal repertoire development.
The book features fifteen selections from the acclaimed Broadway musical Chess, composed by Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus, and Tim Rice. Arrangements are written for piano, vocal, and guitar, allowing flexible use in solo practice, coaching sessions, and live performance settings. Clear notation supports confident reading while preserving the dramatic character of each piece.
This collection helps build confidence and technique while improving rhythm, reading, and performance skills through musically engaging material. Working with well known theatrical repertoire motivates consistent practice and supports expressive interpretation. The songs encourage singers to develop storytelling, phrasing, and emotional connection, making this an effective music teacher resource for vocal instruction.
Ideal for musical theatre study, this book bridges practice and performance by offering material that reflects real audition and stage requirements. Pianists benefit from supportive accompaniments, while singers gain experience with authentic Broadway writing. Guitar chord symbols add additional flexibility for rehearsal and coaching environments.

Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
