BMP: Songbook Anthology (Volume 2: Tenor / Baritone)
The BMP: Songbook Anthology is a two-volume collection of more than 60 arias drawn from more than 35 operas commissioned and produced by Beth Morrison Projects in its first 20 years, 2006-2026. Volume II is repertoire for tenor and baritone. Together, the two volumes total more than 650 pages of music and contextual information.
Each aria is presented in an arrangement for voice and piano, along with contextual information about the original production in which the aria appeared. Many pieces are being offered publicly in this format for the first time, making this collection of music-theatre works available to singers, pianists, voice teachers, music educators, conductors, programmers, and other opera professionals who are looking for 21st-century opera repertoire.
The collection features works by Michael Gordon; Mary Kouyoumdjian; David Lang; Du Yun; Mohammed Fairouz; David T. Little; Huang Ruo; Missy Mazzoli; Daniel Corral; Ricky Ian Gordon; Peter Hilliard; Timur Bekbosunov; Sarah Kirkland Snider; Paola Prestini; Ted Hearne; Kamala Sankaram; Emma O’Halloran; Garrett Fisher; Molly Joyce; Tamar-kali; Keeril Makan; Nico Muhly; Ellen Reid; and Juhi Bansal.
