So You Want to Sing Early Music by Martha Elliott

This book introduces the remarkably rich and varied repertoire of early vocal music, focusing primarily on the 17th and early 18th centuries, within a historical context and explores the techniques the modern singer will need to perform and enjoy the repertoire.

Packed with information, suggestions, resources, and illustrative examples—and invaluable bonus chapters—it clearly and comprehensively delineates the many musical and practical considerations this enticing repertoire compels us to make.   -- Ryan Brandau, artistic director, Amor Artis, Princeton Pro Musica, and Monmouth Civic Chorus
