Part 1: The Barcarolle: score + sound + video

A Barcarolle is a traditional folk song performed by Venetian gondoliers. One of the most famous examples is Jacques Offenbach's (1819–1880) The Barcarolle, which was originally composed for his earlier opera Rheinnixen but later included in the opera The Tales of Hoffmann. As the composer died before completing the opera, Ernest Guiraud, a family friend, and Offenbach's son completed it and placed The Barcarolle in the third act.

Now pay attention to the sound file. Were you singing properly?

Finally, whether you would like to check sound and see the notes or receive extra help, here's the video score.

Part 2: The Barcarolle: silent bars

Now the same but with some silent bars. Sing the notes even in the silent bars, trying to keep the beat and paying attention to notes and other score markings.

Here you have got the sound file with the silent bars. You may use it to help you know if you are singing it correctly.

Part 3: The Barcarolle: accompaniment

The next step is singing the whole song by only listening to the accompaniment. This is a new stage. By now you should be able to sing all the bars if you have rehearsed enough part 1 (listening to the complete melody) and part 2 (listening to the melody but with some silent bars).

Finally, here you have got the sound file corresponding to the accompaniment.
