With a graceful gift for lyrical vocal writing, English composer Roger Quilter (1877-1953) created a rich body of art songs. Very few composers working in English have matched his achievement of a living body of beloved, relevant, literate repertoire. The strong melodies and natural phrasing make his compositions perfect literature for the progressing singer. There has never before this publication been a significant collection of Quilter. This new edition conveniently and economically collects 55 songs, all in clear, new music engravings and in two keys (with original keys noted). Many of the songs have never been published in transposition before this edition. This collection features a biography of the composer and notes on the songs. 224 pages, sewn binding.

Hal Leonard's Vocal Library is the new standard.,

This review is from: Roger Quilter: 55 Songs: High Voice The Vocal Library (Vocal Collection) (Paperback)
I have a multitude of Hal Leonard Vocal Library publications in my library and I am very pleased with the quality... especially for the price. Even at full price (which I have yet to pay for one of these gems at Amazon), they are well worth it. I recommend "The Vocal Library" to students and educators alike.

Good Collection,

This review is from: Roger Quilter: 55 Songs: High Voice The Vocal Library (Vocal Collection) (Paperback)
A very good collection. A little disappointing not to see "Go, Lovely Rose" included and there are a couple of alarming misprints ("Now sleeps the crimson petal, NOT the white"). I wasn't a huge fan of the Finale typesetting either, but it's easy enough to read. It is great to see the best of Quilter's excellent songs assembled so conveniently and for such a low price. A must-have for the library of any serious young singer and probably a good purchase for a repiteteur or teacher.

As always, Quilter songs are so beautifully crafted and have beautiful
vocal lines. He never disappoints. This volume has a wide range of his material and is excellent for teaching purposes.
