Singing in Polish: A Guide to Polish Lyric Diction and Vocal Repertoire stands as the first book-length resource for non-Polish speaking singers, voice teachers, and vocal coaches that offers the essential tools to learning how to sing in Polish. Scholar and singer Benjamin Schultz offers a rich repertory of works virtually unknown outside of Poland, providing a unique catalyst for the introduction of Polish vocal music into the English-speaking world of performance. This work includes the texts of over 60 selected art songs and arias from some of the most distinguished Polish composers of all time. Each selection includes IPA transcriptions and English translations. Appendices include lists of key Polish music publishing companies, cultural centers, and Polish poets.
