Schirmer 24 Italian Songs & Arias Of The 17TH & 18TH Centuries - Medium High Voice + MP3

Summary of This Score

This score brings together a selection of iconic Italian arias from the classical repertoire, particularly appreciated for vocal training and building a solid repertoire. It allows transitioning from one style to another, addressing both melodic drive and Baroque elegance as well as the clarity of the Classical period, with short and effective pieces perfect for daily musicality practice.

You will find well-known titles such as "Amarilli, mia bella" (Giulio Caccini), "Caro mio ben" (Tommaso Giordani), "Danza, danza, fanciulla gentile" (Francesco Durante), "Gia il sole dal Gange" and "O cessate di piagarmi" (Alessandro Scarlatti), "Lasciatemi morire" (Claudio Monteverdi), and "O del mio dolce ardor" (Christoph Willibald Gluck). The collection also offers essential arias to refine the vocal line and breathing such as "Sebben, crudele" and "Come raggio di sol" (Antonio Caldara), as well as expressive and lyrical pieces like "Vittoria, mio core!" (Giacomo Carissimi) and "Pietà, Signore" (Alessandro Stradella).

Thanks to this diversity, this collection easily integrates into a classical singing curriculum: work on Italian diction, vowel articulation, phrase shaping, dynamics, and text emphasis. An excellent resource to enrich your sheet music library and prepare a study or performance program with immediately recognizable arias.
