Singers Musical Theater Anthology

This book was ordered on the instruction of my son's voice teacher. It is very popular with him. It contains songs that my son likes to sing.

Great Resource for Singers

This is a great resource for anyone looking for baritone/bass selections. When I was looking for a book with good Broadway musical vocal selections I often ran into a myriad of books with bad arrangements; however, this book has provided me with a great number of pieces that I use for auditions or my vocal lessons. It includes great bass songs such as 'Ol' Man River' from "Showboat", and some other songs in the baritone range such as 'Johanna' from "Sweeney Todd" or 'Mack the Knife' from "Threepenny Opera". It features works by Sondheim, Rogers & Hammerstein, Hammerstein and Kern, Rogers and Hart, Loesser, etc. The best thing is that it includes the original arrangements for each of these songs with the original lyrics (all of the songs are the full-length versions). Another great feature is that it also has some really good scores from some lesser known but still good musicals. This book (together with Volume II and the duets book)is a must for any vocal student, singer,or just about anyone mildly interested in musicals.
