Vocalises by Guilio Marco Bordogni (1789-1856) in large, handsome books, together with audio compact discs of Bordogni's own piano accompaniments. Bordogni's accompaniments provide rhythmic and harmonic context for his beautiful melodies, making practice more fun. Accompanied practice improves rhythm, intonation, endurance, phrasing, articulation, breathing, and legato style.
