In this reprint from 1960, Coffin lists repertoire for lyric and dramatic tenors for use in concert programs, training, specific or seasonal occasions, and sacred pieces.

Each entry contains composer, title, range, and publisher. There is no bibliography. The second edition contains duets, trios, songs with limited range, and chamber operas.
