Description
Volume 3 for soprano contains the first half of the large-scale arias and ariettas that Rameau composed for lyric soprano (the 18th-century equivalent of today's lyric coloratura soprano) in his prologues and divertissements. Prefixed to the volume is a historical Introduction in French and English based on the Opera Omnia Rameau critical edition. Each number is accompanied by a keyboard reduction and is introduced by a brief account of the dramatic situation as well as an English translation of the vocal text.
