Just released: A Guide to the Latin American Art Song Repertoire
Projects like this take FOREVER (FOREVER = 8 years of data gathering and 3 years of culling and editing the data). And I only authored the chapter on Argentina! My good friend and colleague Stela Brandão authored the chapter on Brasil. Editor Maya Hoover was a trooper all the way through the process. Needless to say, we are SO happy to see this baby IN PRINT!
If you are a classically-trained singer or know one, help us celebrate by sharing the gift of this largely unexplored repertoire.
Buy at Amazon or directly from the publisher.
Product description:
A reference guide to the vast array of art song literature and composers from Latin America, this book introduces the music of Latin America from a singer’s perspective and provides a basis for research into the songs of this richly musical area of the world. The book is divided by country into 22 chapters, with each chapter containing an introductory essay on the music of the region, a catalog of art songs for that country, and a list of publishers. Some chapters include information on additional sources. Singers and teachers may use descriptive annotations (language, poet) or pedagogical annotations (range, tessitura) to determine which pieces are appropriate for their voices or programming needs, or those of their students. The guide will be a valuable resource for vocalists and researchers, however familiar they may be with this glorious repertoire
Los Artículos de Fe (nuevo album)
Con mi hermana decidimos colaborar en un proyecto de crear canciones para ayudar a los miembros de la Iglesia de los Santos a los Últimos Días a memorizar los trece Artículos de Fe. Este “paquete” se puede descargar por solo 2 USD e incluye:
- Las 13 canciones cantadas por mí
- Las 13 canciones con pistas instrumentales
- La partitura entera—veinte páginas con el acompanimiento para piano
Esperamos agregar ayudas visuales (gratis) al sitio en las semanas venideras. Yo he probado estas canciones y verdadermente ayudan que yo haya podido memorizar y RECORDAR todas las palabras a los Artículos de Fe. ¡Esperamos que puedan ayudarles a sus familias también!
