Preface

Ilsabet Ferrant, in her own words

I began as an alto in a school choir that was short of sopranos, and I have been grateful for that shortage ever since.¹ Singing in a section taught me to listen first. It is still how I prepare a solo.

I sing recitals, oratorio and the solo lines for choirs that need one. I care about diction, about the room, and about getting the older music to sound as if somebody meant it.

Ask me about repertoire for your choir or your church. I am happy to learn something new if you have a score you love.

¹ The choir has since found several sopranos.
