Sommario/riassunto

Scandinavian Song is a practical guide to the art songs of Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, which enables teachers and students to render transcriptions of foreign language texts into the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). An extensive survey of available music, sample IPA transcriptions and translations, as well as a website link devoted to demonstrating phonemes unfamiliar to native English speakers, make this book an invaluable resource for students and professors in North American college, university, and conservatory voice programs.
