5.0 out of 5 stars Great arrangements, March 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Broadway Belter's Songbook: Second Edition (Paperback)

This book is an excellent resource for those interested in the Broadway belt sound. Most, if not all, of the songs are in the original key, and the arrangements are superb and musically interesting. There is a wide variety of styles from slow and sultry to lively and fun, from old favorites to some you may not have heard -- but once you do you will love. Both sopranos and altos will enjoy this book, however, a few of the songs do have some very low notes. If you can't hit those, there will surely be another piece in the book you'll enjoy.
