Dear Jason and Vocalisters:
If you are looking for Italian songs that are not a part of the 26
Italian Songs book I would suggest books of song by Donizetti,
Bellini, and Donaudy. Most of the songs display a good quality of
writing and keep well within the Italian song style. These books are
now available in high and low keys and, in most cases, have word for
word translations that are helpful.
There are many other books of songs by well known Italian composers
such as Rossini, Puccini, etc.
You might also like to check into the well known Italian songs as
realized by the Italian composer, Luigi Dallapiccola (sp?).
