Notes

• "A guidebook for singers discovering the rich twentieth- century repertoire, Exploring Twentieth-Century Vocal Music offers practical instruction and advice. The book familiarizes readers with the new and unusual notation systems employed by some contemporary composers. It suggests rehearsal techniques and vocal exercises that will help singers prepare to tackle the repertoire. In addition, easy-to-use appendixes include listings of the most important and interesting vocal works to emerge in the twentieth century, along with suggested recital programs. For singers, their teachers, and their audiences, Exploring Twentieth-Century Vocal Music is a welcome introduction to this under-explored body of music."–BOOK JACKET
