The vocalises of Marco Bordogni have been cherished by generations of vocalists and instrumentalists. Perfect the art of legato and phrasing with these timeless studies. Joannes Rochut, principal trombone of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, transcribed them for trombone in 1928.
Source: Engraved by Practice Farm from Bordogni's own prints, published by the author in Paris: 24 nouvelles vocalises à la portée de toutes les voix, 11e livre (1849), Nos. 1 to 14 and 16 to 25; 24 nouvelles vocalises pour mezzo-soprano ou contralto, 12e livre (1855), Nos. 15, 26 to 45 and 49 to 51; 12 nouvelles vocalises pour mezzo-soprano, 8e livre (1847), Nos. 46 to 48, 52 and 53. Copies: Bibliothèque nationale de France, département de la Musique, VM8 A-37, A-39 and A-36, digitised on Gallica.
Each study is transposed and re-clefed into the instrument's range and engraved at a 7.5 mm staff with a printer's margins. A short study shares a page rather than leave half of one empty, and a long one opens on a spread: never a turn inside a study.
Print as many copies as you need for yourself and your own students. The file itself is not to be passed on or posted.
Every study sits in and reads in its clef, so nothing has to be transposed at the stand.
