Are you struggling to sing in a foreign language? The Language of Song
are graded songbooks that provide classic song repertoire, carefully
selected by examiners and professional singers Heidi Pegler and
Nicola-Jane Kemp to develop the vital skills required to sing in a
foreign language. Each song gives both a literal and poetic translation
of each text, a detailed pronunciation guide and background information
on the songs as well as technical and musical teaching points. The
accompanying CD provides the text for each song spoken by a native
speaker -- expert language consultants who specialize in coaching
singers -- as well as a recording of each song accompaniment.
