With a graceful gift for lyrical vocal writing, English composer Roger Quilter (1877-1953) created a rich body of art songs. Very few composers working in English have matched his achievement of a living body of beloved, relevant, literate repertoire. The strong melodies and natural phrasing make his compositions perfect literature for the progressing singer. There has never before this publication been a significant collection of Quilter. This new edition conveniently and economically collects 55 songs, all in clear, new music engravings and in two keys (with original keys noted). Many of the songs have never been published in transposition before this edition. This collection features a biography of the composer and notes on the songs.

Solid, Comprehensive Quilter Collection
A robust collection of Quilter's art songs for low voice. The "sewn binding" is a huge plus for durability on gigs, and having 55 pieces means ample repertoire for classical engagements. While 20th-century art songs aren't always a casual request, this book provides a great resource for specific events. Just be aware there are no explicit chord symbols, typical for this genre.

Excellent Resource for Developing Singers
This Quilter collection is an invaluable addition to any vocal studio. The "intermediate" difficulty is perfectly suited for progressing students, and the "clear, new music engravings" make for easy reading. Having 55 songs in a low voice edition with transpositions is fantastic for student repertoire building. Highly recommended for teaching lyrical phrasing and vocal development.

A Delightful Journey into Quilter's Songs!
As an adult learner, I'm thrilled with this Roger Quilter collection. The "intermediate" level offers a satisfying challenge without being overwhelming. His "strong melodies and natural phrasing" are just beautiful to sing, making practice truly enjoyable. Having 55 songs in one low voice book is amazing value and perfect for relaxing weekend singing sessions.
