Features: "The Vocal Music Teaching Library" is one of the series of "Vocal Art Education Series" published by the People's Music Publishing House. This marks the beginning of a new era in the construction of teaching repertoire for vocal art education in China. The "Vocal Music Teaching Library" first highlights its teaching nature. Each volume of the "Library" consists of "General Teaching Principles," "Teaching Repertoire," and "Teaching Performance Notes" for each piece. It not only further standardizes teaching content and establishes a scientific system for the targeted teaching of repertoire, catering to different teaching selections, but it also meets the teaching requirements of various vocal methods. The "Vocal Music Teaching Library" also distinctly emphasizes its documentary nature. The works in the "Library" include some popular and enduring masterpieces that have been sung for generations, as well as works that have had a significant impact on the development of vocal art, thus becoming preserved repertoire for vocal teaching. This volume encompasses artistic songs from the 1920s to the late 1990s, nearly a century of creations. For works after the founding of New China, they not only reflect the era's characteristics of a certain historical period but also record the artistic features of songs from different eras, providing a wealth of well-honed repertoire for vocal teaching. In the selection process, equal attention is given to the long-standing historical background and characteristics of the works, with greater emphasis on highlighting the teaching role of the repertoire. This volume is divided into two parts: upper and lower.
