Singer’s Musical Theatre Anthology – Volume 1, Soprano Book

******************************
Volume one of this anthology is in many ways the best. You might call it “vintage Broadway“, in that so many of the songs are imminently singable for classically trained musicians. They harken back, in many cases, to a time when people projected more naturally into the house without depending so heavily on the microphone. There are no real “belter“ pieces here and the varied selection will be appropriate for many sopranos.

In many cases, We have been able to include selections from the stage production which we hope will help students develop their sens we have been able to include selections from stage production which we hope will help students with character development in preparing their performance songs.
