In this book, one finds detailed information on a vast repertoire of vocal pieces commonly extracted from operas, operettas, musicals, and oratorios��ore than 1,500 excerpts from 400 parent works. Information includes basic historical details about the parent work as well as extract titles, subtitles, voice types, keys, durations, locations in the original work (with page numbers in both full scores and piano-vocal scores), and exact instrumentation.
