Volume One: 24 studies. Progressively arranged, these are the easiest of Bordogni's beautiful melodies. Includes audio compact disc with Bordgoni's teacher accompaniments, synthesized by computer. Bass clef. This volume is also available in tenor clef, spiral-bound; for low tessitura horn in F; for trumpet in B-flat; and, in alto clef at pitches raised a perfect fourth, for alto trombone.
Volume Two: 12 studies. These studies correspond to Joannes Rochut numbers 46, 47, 48, and 52 through 60 in his Book I. Accordingly, students might want to study Volume Three before undertaking Volume Two. Includes audio compact disc. Bass clef. This volume is also available in concert pitch treble clef.
Volume Three: 24 studies. The middle, approximately, as found in Rochut Book I. Includes two audio compact discs. Bass clef. This volume is also available for trumpet in B-flat
Volume Four: 12 studies. Challenging etudes numbered 61 to 72 by Rochut. Includes audio compact disc. Bass clef. Also available in concert pitch treble clef, spiral-bound.
Volume Five: 12 studies. Challenging etudes numbered 106 and 110 through 120 by Rochut. Includes two audio compact discs. Tenor clef for Bordogni's keys, alto clef for Rochut's keys.
Volume Six: 36 studies. The most challenging to perform and the most difficult to coordinate with accompaniments, these studies are numbered 74 to 109 (excluding 106) by Rochut, and there is one more study not transcribed by Rochut. The companion CD-R is a data disk with the music in MP3 files - over 3-1/2 hours of accompaniments. The CD-R includes ten accompaniments at slow, practice tempi, and seven accompaniments transposed to Rochut's keys. In addition, the CD-R includes PDF files with scanned images of Bordogni's own vocal-and-piano score and images of two 1897 G. Schirmer volumes edited by Max Spicker. 86 pages. Bass clef. Also available in concert pitch treble clef.
Volume Seven: 12 duet vocalises. Not transcribed by Rochut, these challenging but beautiful duets are presented in tenor clef. Includes audio compact disc. The duet parts, in two separate folios, are suitable for performance and are compatible with piano scores published by the International Trombone Association's ITA Manuscript Press.
Bordogni for Bass Trombone: 27 Selected Vocalises. These selections from the first three volumes are transposed into keys and ranges that are comfortable for bass trombone or for F-attachment symphonic tenor trombone. The companion CD-R provides two extra tracks with accompaniments at Bordogni's fast, vocal tempi. Another two tracks of brief tuning drones help with intonation. 34 pages. Bass clef.
 
Accompaniments for Rochut: Piano scores to accompany Rochut's Melodious Etudes. New in 2009, these volumes provide Bordogni's own teacher accompaniments with Bordogni's canto staff in bass clef. The solo staff shows Bordogni's own phrase, articulation, respiration, tempo, and dynamic guidance transposed to Rochut's keys. Folio #1 includes Rochut's numbers 2 through 20, 48 pages. Folio #2 supports numbers 21 through 40, 44 pages. Folio #3 provides accompaniments for numbers 41 through 60, 44 pages. Suitable for studio and recital use.
