Description

Do you need a perfect contemporary song for a vocal audition or performance? The Singer’s Anthology of Pop/Rock Ballads gives you over 30 pop/rock classics to choose from––all transposed into appropriate keys and based on the original recorded hits. These songs fall into the new wave of standards that you are hearing more often at cabaret, concerts, and special occasions. These songs are most often identified with singer-songwriters, so this collection features the work of Billy Joel, Carole King, Adele, and others. These arrangements were custom made for this collection as authentic performing editions, friendly to both the singer and accompanist. Keys were carefully chosen, either preserving the original recorded key or transposing as near the original as possible to increase accessibility.

This volume is presented in separate editions for Soprano/Alto and Tenor/Baritone, with some songs shared between the two, and others specific to the voice type.

The Tenor/Baritone edition features 30 songs, including: Ain’t No Sunshine • All by Myself • Bridge over Troubled Water • Crying • Dust in the Wind • Fields of Gold • Fire and Rain • Hallelujah • Imagine • Lean on Me • Mad World • New York State of Mind • Rocket Man (I Think It’s Gonna Be a Long Long Time) • Thinking Out Loud • Time After Time • Unchained Melody • With or Without You • Wonderful Tonight • Your Song • and more.
