Joan Boytim has selected some of the easiest songs in English from The First Book of Solos series and transposed them for a different voice type, making the songs available to more students. Additionally, other suitable American and British art songs have been included. With 15-20 songs per volume, each voice type has a unique song list. Perfect for voice class, as well as private lessons. Contents for the tenor volume include: ACROSS THE WESTERN OCEAN (Irish Sea Chantey, arr. Celius Dougherty) · BY THE SEA (Roger Quilter) · COLORADO TRAIL (American Folksong, arr. Celius Dougherty) · GIVE A MAN A HORSE HE CAN RIDE (Geoffrey O'Hara) · MOBILE BAY (African-American Chantey, arr.Celius Dougherty) · O MISTRESS MINE (Roger Quilter) · THE PRETTY CREATURE (Stephen Storace, arr. H. Lane Wilson) · ROLLING DOWN TO RIO (Edward German) · THE ROVIN' GAMBLER (John Jacob Niles) · THE SEA-BIRD (Roger Quilter) · SHENANDOAH (American Sea Chanty, arr. Celius Dougherty) · THE SHIPS OF ARCADY (Michael Head) · SIMPLE SIMON (Herbert Hughes) · THINK NO MORE, LAD, LAUGH, BE JOLLY (Arthur Somervell) · WHEN I HAVE SUNG MY SONGS (Ernest Charles) During the past 25 years, I have used the majority of Boytim's anthologies. I find these most recent publications to be the most useful of all. A student could use their voice type's volume for many years, eventually singing every song in it. They will be a staple in my studio in the future.-American Music Teacher
