  1. Are there any song books available to purchase with all of the songs written in the key that Del Delker sang them in. I am also a contralto soloist and sing in my church (7th-day Adventist) and for other occasions. Our voice range is very similar and I cannot find written music in lower voice range. I love all of the songs that she sang and would be very interested in purchasing some of her written music. Please respond and thanks in advance for your assistance. I remain, very sincerely, Margaret Ann Maisel.
