Features: The Selected Collections of Vocal Works for higher normal universities (a total of six volumes, including three volumes of Chinese works and three volumes of foreign works) have been widely welcomed by teachers and students of art schools, vocalists, and vocal enthusiasts since their publication in installments since 1986. By 2001, they had been reprinted 17 times, with a total circulation of approximately 2 million copies. As times progress, outstanding vocal works continue to emerge. To further meet teaching needs and enrich the development of vocal art, Professor Xu Lang of Shanghai Normal University and Professor Yan Huixian of Harbin Normal University have taken charge of editing the Selected Collections of Vocal Works: Chinese Works (Volume IV) and Foreign Works (Volume IV). The content summary is as follows:
