<p>So, I’ve been wanting to sing Beauty’s aria (“All that I ask is one red rose”)from Vittorio Giannini’s one act opera Beauty and the Beast for some time, but I have no idea where to find it! I was hoping some of the vocalists here might have some information about where I could track it down. I would GREATLY appreciate it.</p>
<p>There is a Belwin Mills edition, but I believe it is generally only available as a rental. Their distributor Schott / European American Music also makes individual scores available to those who are considering producing a performance and to people who want it for scholarly use. You could try going to [EAMDLLC</a> :: Vittorio Giannini - Beauty and the Beast](<a href=“http://www.eamdllc.com/work_details.cfm?id=519]EAMDLLC”>http://www.eamdllc.com/work_details.cfm?id=519) and clicking on “Perusal Score” to see if you can convince them to loan you one for a while. If so, you should realize that you would be getting an orchestral score, not a piano reduction.</p>
<p>Another thought: It is also possible that you might find a copy in the library of a good music school or opera company.</p>
<p>Where do you live? Are you close to one of the major conservatories…where there might be a score in the opera library? Might it be in the library of MT people? Good luck!</p>

<p>type in your zipcode and it will tell you the closest library that has the score. I saw Yale and Juilliard both have it in my area.</p>
<p>Also try Glendower Jones - he’s wonderful and can usually get anything you need:
[Classical</a> Vocal Repertoire - Home of Classical Vocal Reprints: sheet music for singers, shipped worldwide](<a href=“http://www.classicalvocalrep.com/CVR-II/main.html]Classical”>http://www.classicalvocalrep.com/CVR-II/main.html)</p>
<p>Since Giannini is a 20th century composer, this is not going to help you, but it is a great resource for vocalists: <a href=“http://www.shubertline.co.uk%5B/url%5D”>www.shubertline.co.uk</a>. You can buy single pieces of music (and transpose if needed) as well as purchase a subscription which allows you to download whatever you want.</p>
<p>Good luck finding your piece: the advice above is excellent.</p>
<p>My D’s school music library has it - I assume most would, but it will be the orchestral score. I imagine Glendower Jones will be able to get it for you.</p>
