Linda F. wrote an excellent commentary on Italian songs and asked:
>What other sources of Arie Antiche do the rest of you use?
Unfortunately, I usually use the infamous 24, because incoming freshmen usually bring that with them, and I hate to ask them to buy a brand new book, when they've only sung a few songs out of that one. If I am the one who gets to choose what they will order, I almost never order the 24, because, after 30+ years of teaching, I prefer to hear some different songs! :) So, you high scool teachers out there, give us a break and order a different volume. I, too, like the two-volume G.Schirmer set -- can't recall the name, and I am not near my music. And there are others. Get a catalogue and check it out.
