The songs of Volume 6, for voice and guitar, have been transcribed for voice and piano for this edition. “Editor Richard Walters has done a splendid job of bringing this collection to publication, not only assembling the material but also writing an excellent, informative, and thought provoking Preface that gives insight into Britten's work...Having all these songs together in one volume is a real boon to voice teachers and students alike, not to mention accompanists...All music libraries and voice studios will want to own this collection.”--Journal of Singing.

Fun Book
I am an older adult who has recently began to take voice lessons. The arrangements by Britten are fun as well as challenging. The songs are proper for performances and recitals.

Wonderful.
These are some of my favorite pieces to do at recitals. They fit in nicely with the more classical pieces and don't feel out of place in the recital hall. They are uniquely arranged by a wonderful composer and this new edition comes highly recommended.
