Send reply to: VOCALIST <vocalist>

I am going to be recording a CD that I will be using for audition
submittals (and for family distribution) I was wondering if the people
on the list could give me some advice on how I should a.) prepare for
that day b.) warm up for the day c.) make my time with the accompanist
during the studio time optimal. I won't have the opportunity to warm up
with him first and he has requested that I send him copies of the music
I will be using. Should I photo copy the pieces and destroy the photo
copies the day of the recording? Do I have to be concerned with copy
rights for the recording of the music and is it legal to do the above?

I will be doing several art songs, Seben Crudele, An Die Geliebte, Where
'ere you walk and Come Again; and I will be doing Che gelida manina, Una
furtiva lagrima, (for my opera pieces) Comfort Ye and Every Valley for
Oratorio selections. I don't know what versions of any of this music he
has and I have to use an intermediary to connect with him so direct
communication except for snail mail is out of the question before the
day of the recording session. We have two hours to work on these and it
is in a University recording studio (so it's dirt cheep)

thanks in advance for your advice
