Alan Curtis : Drama Queens

'This anthology is the result of the collaboration with the mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato who had expressed the wish to record a CD with my ensemble Il Complesso Barocco. It should not just be another compilation of famous arias by Handel or Vivaldi, but a collection of pieces of quite different styles and from different epochs which are linked by a common superordinate topic. Contents: BERENICE: Da Torbida Procella - IFIGENIA IN AULIDE: Madre Diletta, Abbracciami - ALCINA: Ma Quando Tornerai - FREDEGUNDA: Lasciami Piangere - ANTONIO E CLEOPATRA: Morte Col Fiero Aspetto - GIULIO CESARE IN EGITTO: Piangero La Sorte Mia - ORONTEA: Intorno All'Idol Mio - ALESSANDRO: Brilla Nell'Alma - OCTAVIA: Geloso Sospetto - L'INCORONAZIONE DI POPPEA: Disprezzata Regina - MEROPE: Sposa Son Disprezzata - BERENICE: Col Versar, Barbaro, Il Sangue - ARMIDA: Vedi Se T'Amo

Ferdinand Sieber : 36 Eight-Measure Vocalises for Elementary Teaching

The Sieber Vocalises: It is important to know why Sieber is so good for the voice. He was a Viennese, Italian-trained voice teacher who knew the importance of vowel alteration and its role in keeping the balance of the registers. The Sieber Vocalises are designed to balance the registers using 8 measure melodies based on the Italian syllables da, me, ni, po, to, la, be. The register balance is achieved in the ingenious way Sieber arranges the syllables. Again, his goal it to allow the space of the open vowels in the closed vowels, and the ring of the closed vowels in the open vowels. Lindquest called these vocalises the 'bridge between vocalizing and singing music'. In my 25 years of teaching, I have never found a singer that the Sieber Vocalises did not help tremendously. 36 Eight-Measure Vocalises for Elementary Teaching for mezzo-soprano voices.

Hall, Juliana : Theme in Yellow: 7 Songs for Mezzo-Soprano and Piano

A song cycle about the season of Autumn, beginning with leaving Summer behind, and then experiencing the rustling of the crops before harvest as the winds blow through them. The seasonal sense of loss and sadness, depicted by decaying vine leaves and the final song of the last cricket before first frost, is palpable. But there is also the Jack-o'-lantern, with pumpkins spotting the hills, that at first glance appears frightening (but the children know better). Finally there is uplift, as the falling of the leaves through bright Autumn sunlight creates beautiful checkerworks of lights and golden yellows playing upon the ground, a bright show of brilliant color before the coming darkness of Winter. Duration: 10:00

Songlist: Song, Ripe Corn, November, Theme In Yellow, Gathering Leaves, Splinter, Haze Gold

Tom Cipullo : Songs for Mezzo-Soprano : Solo : Songbook : 600313488733 : 8873

Tom Cipullo : Songs for Mezzo-Soprano

The works in this volume were composed between 1999 and 2006. Glances is a setting of six brief, enigmatic poems - one of which is set twice - by the Polish historian and writer Agata Tuszy ska. Marilyn Kallet's musical poetry is the inspiration for How to Get Heat Without Fire. Over the years, The Pocketbook has proven the most popular of the songs and is often excerpted from the cycle. Linda Pastan's poem Ask the Moon was composed as a gift for soprano Tobe Malawista. A White Rose uses Alban Berg's Sieben Fruhe Lieder as an inspiration. Seven composers were asked to write one song each as a response to one of the songs in Berg's set. Cipullo was assigned Liebesrode with its "dreams of ecstasy." A text by John Boyle O'Reilly seemed to capture the required mood.

Songlist: Echo, Impossible, Unbroken, Between Verses, A Plea for Mercy, Glance, Echo 2, Why I Wear My Hair Long, Saying Goodbye, The Pocketbook, How to Get Heat without Fire, Ask the Moon, A White Rose

Various : The Oratorio Anthology

This is the most serious and useful collection yet published of solo arias from oratorios, masses and cantatas. The literature was confined to work by major composers, and by-passes the dated oratorio literature found in previous collections. The most famous music is here, and so is interesting and less famous music by masters. There are new music engravings for each aria, and extensive historical notes and translations. Solo instrumental obbligato parts, which can be cut from the book, are included on appropriate selections.
