Karen-
I have taught Vocal Lit for about 10 years now. Sadly, there is no ideal "textbook." I use Carol Kimball's book as an optional text. A History of Song, ed. Denis Steven is a book every singer should own, but it is wildly uneven. (Eight pages on Bartok and less than two on Faure.) I have seen people use Emmons and Sonntag's Art of the Song Recital as a Vocal Lit. text. A great book, but again, not exactly a textbook.
I keeep threatening to write one myself, but I need to get caught up on my paperwork first!
I will be happy to send you my bibliography. E-mail me at:
jsnider@m... jsnider@m...
and I'll send it as a Word file.
