Par POULENC FRANCIS. Poulenc 's song cycle, Chansons Gaillardes was composed in 1925-1926 during the post-war euphoria. The cycle is essential to aspiring, advanced Baritones. Francis Poulenc (1899-1963) was a highly prolific composer, and remains popular to this day. Chansons Gaillardes was composed towards the beginning of the composer's career for Baritone Pierre Bernac. At the first performance, Poulenc himself played the piano and the song cycle was immediately a hit. Chansons Gaillardes is made up of eight songs which alternate between lively and slow tempos; 1) TheFickle Mistress, 2) Drinking Song, 3) Madrigal, 4) Summoning the Fates, 5) Bacchanalian Couplets, 6) The Offering, 7) The Beautiful Youth, and 8) Serenade. As a song cycle with much variation, Poulenc 's Chansons Gaillardes is an exciting addition to the Baritone repertoire./ Répertoire / Baryton et Piano

Des musiques de soie. Par POULENC FRANCIS. Jamais publiée avant cette édition, la Valse de Francis Poulenc a une histoire fascinante. Écrit en 1951, le morceau existe sous la forme d’un fac-similé de manuscrit autographe, incorporé à un dessin du peintre Richard Chanlaire, ce dessin étant lui-même le motif d’un foulard (ou carré de soie) confectionné par la maison de haute couture Pierre Balmain. Certes de modestes dimensions, cette Valse des Musiques de soie est une pièce emplie de charme, qui vaut aussi pour les étonnantes circonstances de sa naissance, dont elle est indissociable./ Répertoire / Piano

Des musiques de soie. Never published before, this Poulenc?s Valse has a really fascinating history. Written in 1951, the work exists in the form of a facsimile of an autograph manuscript, incorporated into a drawing by the painter Richard Chanlaire, this drawing itself the motif of a scarf (or silk square) created by the haute couture designer Pierre Balmain. Admittedly modest in size, this Valse from the Musiques de soie is a work full of charm, which also applies to the astonishing circumstances of its creation, from which it is inseparable.

Par POULENC FRANCIS. This charming suite, published in 1935, bears the subtitle d'après Claude Gervaise (16e siècle) and displays Poulenc 's inimitable blend of the archaic and the anarchic. The sheet music based on the music of Claude Gervaise, was composed as incidental music for the play La Reine Margot. It is origanally scored for pairs of Oboes, Bassoons and Trumpets, three Trombones, Percussion and Harpsichord and then re-arranged for solo Piano in the same year./ Répertoire / Piano
