Summary of This Score
The Oratorio Anthology - Soprano gathers a demanding and inspiring panorama of sacred vocal repertoire for soprano voice. Compiled by Richard Walters, this collection offers arias from major masterpieces, ranging from the expressive fervor of Bach's passions (St Matthew Passion, St John Passion) to the dramatic eloquence of Handel (Messiah, Samson, Jeptha, Judas Maccabaeus, Joshua), not forgetting the classical grandeur of Haydn (The Creation, The Seasons) and the luminous writing of Mozart (Mass In C Minor, Vesperae Solennes De Confessore K.339). The selection also includes emblematic works by Mendelssohn (Elijah), Vivaldi (Gloria), Purcell (Come Ye Sons Of Art), Fauré (Requiem), Beethoven (Christ On The Mount Of Olives), Pergolesi, and Rossini (Stabat Mater). Thanks to its updated engraving, the reading gains comfort and precision, making it a reliable resource for working on vocal line, text articulation, breath control, and affect contrasts. A particularly relevant choice for singers seeking a reference score, equally effective for study as well as for preparing examination, competition, or audition programs.
