With its phonetic characteristics, Spanish inherently lends itself to singing, even more so than Italian. This, combined with Spanish being the second most spoken language globally and widely spoken in the United States, makes this repertoire and the accompanying book indispensable for voice teachers and singers.

Edited by Patricia Caicedo, a soprano and musicologist renowned as the authority on Spanish language songs worldwide, the book brings unparalleled expertise and insight to this essential collection.

This is also available for Medium-Low voice.
