 MusicTeachers.co.uk Online Journal - Reviews - Music review of The Boosey and Hawkes 20th-Century Easy Song Collection: ...
This is a long overdue book, a companion to Boosey and Hawkes’ piano collection, although whether its publication deliberately coincides with the revamp of the Associated Board’s singing syllabus is a matter of conjecture since many of the pieces are on the new lists.
The book draws on Boosey and Hawkes’ extensive archives and I am sure that volumes will soon follow ad infinitum, since there is certainly a demand for an expansion of the vocal repertoire to include all ages and abilities.
It is a singing book that is full of variety, but not an uncomfortable mishmash, containing a balance in terms of ability and challenge, that will hopefully bring these unforgivably overlooked pieces to a fresh audience.
