Arias for Soprano, Volume 2

More about the book

This vocal collection is part of the G. Schirmer Opera Anthology series, which transformed the study of opera arias since its 1991 debut. Due to the abundance of exquisite soprano arias, a second volume was created, primarily featuring music for lyric soprano. The collection includes new, clean editions of 32 arias, each accompanied by historical and plot information. Featured pieces include "Dearest Mama," "Quante volte," "S'altro che lacrime," and "In uomini, in soldati." Other highlights are "Ach, ich liebte," "Einst traumte meiner sel'gen Base," and "Non Disperar." Additionally, it features "Il est doux, il es bon," "Zeffiretti lusinghieri," and "Es lebt eine Vilja." The anthology also includes "In quelle trine morbide," "Qual vita e questa mai," "Lo temei... Lo potro!," and "Me voila seule." Other notable arias are "Chi il bel sogno di Doretta," "Mesicku na nebi hlubokem," and "Stizzoso, mio stizzoso." The collection concludes with "Ah! Forse e lui... Sempre libera" and "Ebben?... Ne andro lontana." This comprehensive anthology serves as an essential resource for both performers and educators in the realm of operatic vocal study.
