Hi, Jessica,

If we are thinking of the same book, it's Schirmer Library's "Twenty-Four
Italian Songs and Arias of the 17th and 18th Centuries." This was the first
book my voice coach gave me, and it's still my favorite. The practice CD is
priceless, since I do not play piano. You should be able to find it at any
music store, and Borders Books also carries it [this I know for a fact,
because I work for Borders in my neighborhood :).] The ISBN number [which
makes it REALLY easy to order] is 0-7939-1513-0; published by G. Schirmer,
Inc. and distributed by Hal Leonard Corp.

Best of luck.

Holly

Hi There,

It's time for me to buy a new edition of this old standby book since mine is
falling apart at the seams. There is at least one available, though I don't
remember by which publisher, which comes with a practice CD. Sounds like a
good idea, I'm wondering if anyone has it and if it is of any use.

Beyond that. what editions of this book would you recommend? Best
translations, etc.? There are many out there to choose from.

Thanks in advance,

Jessica
