The Second Book of Soprano Solos (Vocal Collection) [Paperback] Review

I bought this book with the set of accompaniment cds at a local music store. I used it mainly for my own pleasure, to primarily, "exercise" a classically trained voice that doesn't get much use.Lately I've been using it to practice for auditions for choirs, community operas, etc. Not playing the piano, and not having ready use of someone who does, the discs come quite in handy as it allows me to hear and practice with the actual accompaniment that will be played when I go for the audition.Note: this is accompaniment only.There is no melody line to these recordings, unless they just happen to be part of the original accompaniment. There are no vocal demonstrations either.You will still need to be able to learn the melody on your own. Of course, melody and words are included in the music book. Songs include those in English, German, French, and Italian.
This particular book contains the following:

1. Art is Calling for Me (The Prima Donna Song)--Herbert
2. Bescheidene Liebe--Wolf
3. Les Cloches--Debussy
4. Die Nacht--Strauss
5. Down in the Forest--Ronald
6. Fiocca La Neve--Cimara
7. Hark!The Echoing Air--Purcell
8. Hear My Prayer, O Lord--Dvorak
9. Love's Philosophy--Quilter
10. Mein Glaubiges Herze(My Heart Ever Faithful)--Bach
11. Un Moto Di Gioja--Mozart
12. My Heart is Like a Singing Bird--Parry
13. O Divine Redeemer--Gounod
14. Oh!Had I Jubals's Lyre--Handel
15. A Pastoral--Veracini
16. Shepherd!Thy Demeanour Vary--Brown/Wilson
17. Sleep, Gentle Cherub, Sleep Descend--Arne
18. Song of the Blackbird--Quilter

Product Description:
Step up to the next level with more student repertoire, continuing from The First Book of Solos and The First Book of Solos - Part II. The more than 30 songs in each book require a little more vocal range and musical sophistication, but are still decidedly student material.
