INTRODUCTION TO ART SONG FOR TENOR

Songs in English for Classical Voice Students

Joan Boytim has selected some of the easiest songs in English from The First Book of Solos series and transposed them for a different voice type, making the songs available to more students. Additionally, other suitable American and British art songs have been included. With 15-20 songs per volume, each voice type has a unique song list. Perfect for voice class, as well as private lessons. Contents for the tenor volume include: ACROSS THE WESTERN OCEAN (Irish Sea Chantey, arr. Celius Dougherty) - BY THE SEA (Roger Quilter) - COLORADO TRAIL (American Folksong, arr. Celius Dougherty) - GIVE A MAN A HORSE HE CAN RIDE (Geoffrey O'Hara) - MOBILE BAY (African-American Chantey, arr. Celius Dougherty) - O MISTRESS MINE (Roger Quilter) - THE PRETTY CREATURE (Stephen Storace, arr. H. Lane Wilson) - ROLLING DOWN TO RIO (Edward German) - THE ROVIN' GAMBLER (John Jacob Niles) - THE SEA-BIRD (Roger Quilter) - SHENANDOAH (American Sea Chanty, arr. Celius Dougherty) - THE SHIPS OF ARCADY (Michael Head) - SIMPLE SIMON (Herbert Hughes) - THINK NO MORE, LAD, LAUGH, BE JOLLY (Arthur Somervell) - WHEN I HAVE SUNG MY SONGS (Ernest Charles)

During the past 25 years, I have used the majority of Boytim's anthologies. I find these most recent publications to be the most useful of all. A student could use their voice type's volume for many years, eventually singing every song in it. They will be a staple in my studio in the future.-American Music Teacher
