Most beautiful melody ?

In addition to choosing great melodies, to have marvelous modeling of these melodies will allow you to explore the tunes on a much higher musical level. I would consider the following “pairs” for serious study:

.The Singing Trombone – Jay Friedman

Paired with:

.Marco Bordogni Melodious Etudes

or

.

.Melodious Etudes – Rochut / Bordogni

I can also highly recommend a very popular vocal book:

24 Italian Songs and Arias of the 17th and 18th Century

Paired with:

.Cecilia Bartoli - If You Love Me (Se tu m'ami ), 18th-Century Italian Songs

I wrote about my experience using the Baroli CD with the Songs and Arias book here.

You can easily transpose these songs higher as this book can be purchased for medium high or medium low voice.

Hope these help!
