The David Bispham Treasury Of Song PDF Download

Excerpt from The David Bispham Song Book: Selected Choruses for Mixed Voices, for Use in School and Community Singing and Choral Societies That my experience is unusually extensive may be appreciated from the fact that I have sung in many countries and in many languages - first in America as an amateur with glee and madrigal clubs, church choirs, oratorio societies and festival choruses, and later with no less pleasure as a professional soloist. From these beginnings I graduated into the more arduous and responsible field of a concert artist, a song recitalist and a principal in Grand Opera at home and abroad. All through my career the joy of song and of singing has been with me, and my realization of its enormous power for good has grown with the years. I am glad to be able in this volume to hand on part of the result of my experience in Order that others may enjoy the things which have meant so much to me, and may also find, as I did, in music a talisman which enhances the beauty of existence. In the choice of pieces for this book I have sought the advice of many-supervisors of Music throughout the United States, and much of whatever value the volume may have is due-to the admirable suggestions received from these men and women. I also desire to thank Mr. Elliott Schenck for his invaluable assistance in arranging many Of the songs which make up the collection.
