The New Broadway Song Companion

DeVenney (music and choral activities, West Chester U.) presents an annotated guide to Broadway songs for singing actors, singers, voice teachers, directors, and producers. The guide lists songs from about 300 Broadway shows, with information on the name of characters, vocal range, voice type, and song style. Songs are listed alphabetically by musical name. Some popular and widely produced non-Broadway musicals are listed, such as Disney's High School Musical. This edition has been revised and expanded to include about 100 more songs. Indexes list solos, duets, choruses, and ensembles, songs by voice type, and composers and lyricists. Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
