The First Book of Mezzo-Soprano/Alto Solos

Joan Boytim’s The First Book of Mezzo-Soprano/Alto Solos is one of the most widely used collections of vocal repertoire for the developing mezzo-soprano voice at any age. This collection contains songs that are easy to moderate in difficulty level and relatively short in length, so they are not too taxing for the voice. The selections include American and British art songs, folk song arrangements, sacred songs and a sampling of beginning songs in German, Italian, Spanish and French.
