THE LITTLE BIRCH TREE is based on the traditional Russian folksong Beriozka, arranged by Melanie Mitrano for voice, flute or violin, and piano. The score, including cover and parts, is 10 pages long, published by Ivy Cottage Press (ASCAP). Two accompanying recordings are also available here for download: one with all three parts to assist in learning the piece (The Little Birch Tree Study Recording), and one without the vocal line for class and individual practice (The Little Birch Tree Practice Track).
This piece is part of the Primary Studies in Vocal Chamber Music collection, the goal of which is to provide an entree into the world of collaborative music-making for the solo singer that is accessible to all levels and voice types. The arrangements are suitable for use in either a private vocal studio or group voice class.
The vocal range (medium voice) is practical for all, deliberately within comfortable limits for any voice type, male or female. The piano part is specifically designed to be feasible for student or teacher accompanists, and includes chord symbols for those less adept pianists who wish to improvise or alter the accompaniment as needed. While the instrumental part is more elaborate, it is still suitable for either music students or professionals.
