Par SCHUMANN CLARA. Clara Schumann (née Wieck) was undoubtedly the most important female pianist of the 19th century. As a young child she toured Europe as a prodigy: her entire career as a celebrated piano virtuoso spanned more than 60 years. Equally important, but less well known, is the composer Clara Schumann, who published her Opus 1 at the age of eleven. Despite the domestic duties expected of a woman at that time, she created numerous outstanding piano works and songs that are at least the equal of those of her male contemporaries. However, society at that time did not allow women to be regarded as fully-fledged composers or for their works to be appreciated adequately. To help give this important composer the recognition she deserves, Edition Peters, in collaboration with the Schumann-Haus Leipzig, is now, on the occasion of her 200th birthday, publishing this Anniversary Songbook. The 14 songs, representing the pinnacle of Clara's art, were composed mainly in the period after her marriage in Leipzig to Robert Schumann - who was her greatest champion. This volume includes: - new practical editions of 14 of Clara Schumann's greatest songs - introductions to each song, written by Frances Falling, Schumann-Haus Leipzig - new English translations of the song lyrics - a CD containing recordings of the piano accompaniments/ Répertoire / Voix Haute et Piano

Aus ?Letzte Blätter? Von Hermann Von Gilm. Par STRAUSS RICHARD. New practical edition of the “Acht Gedichte” op. 10 by Richard Strauss from “Letzte Blätter” by Austrian poet Hermann von Gilm (1812-1864). Strauss composed these songs in 1885 when he was 21 years old. He often accompanied his wife, the soprano Pauline Strauss-de Ahna, on the piano and worked with her on interpretations of his piano songs. The resulting entries of the composer (e.g. performance markings) are reproduced in this edition. Included are three of the best-known of his songs, „Zueignung“ No. 1 (“Devotion“), „Nichts“ No. 2 (“Nought“) and „Die Nacht“ No. 3 (“Night“). The songs in this edition are set in their original keys. Based on the text of “Richard Strauss Works” – Critical Edition (RSW), with English translations by John Bernhoff./ Répertoire / Voix Haute et Piano

Par STRAUSS RICHARD. This new practical edition of the 'Vier Lieder' ('Four songs') Op. 27 for high voice is based on the text of 'Richard Strauss Works ' Critical Edition'. The lyrics were translated into English by John Bernhoff. Beginning with op. 27, Strauss turned to settings of poems by a new generation of lyricists of his age with whom he was sometimes in personal contact (Karl Henckell, Heinrich Hart, John Henry Mackay). The four songs 'Ruhe, meine Seele!' ('Rest Thee, My Spirit!'), 'Cäcilie' ('Cecily'), 'Heimliche Aufforderung' ('The Lover's Pledge') and 'Morgen!' ('Tomorrow!') are among the composer's best known and most popular songs, which is why he later arranged three of them as orchestral songs. At www.richard-strauss-ausgabe.de you will find supplementary digital content for the Richard Strauss Edition (published by the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities, Munich, under the leadership of Hartmut Schick in cooperation with the Richard Strauss Institute, Garmisch-Partenkirchen). All songs in this edition are in their original keys./ Répertoire / Voix Haute et Clavier

The plantation songs known as 'spirituals' are the spontaneous outbursts of intense religious fervour and had their origin chiefly in camp meetings revivals and other religious exercises.They were never 'composed' but sprang into life ready made from the white heat of religious fervour during some protracted meeting in camp or church as the simple ecstatic utterance of wholly untutored minds and are practically the only music in America which meets the scientific definition of Folk Song.Harry Burleigh became a linguist singing in Hebrew as well as Latin Italian French and German. For several years he regarded his casual efforts at composition as merely mentalexercises until friends virtually forced him to publish. 'Deep River' published in 1917 made Harry Burleigh well known as a composer. His 'Little Mother Of Mine' was sung throughout the world by John McMormack.

À côté d'oeuvres célèbres, telles que 'Wonne der Wehmut' ou la satirique Chanson de la puce de Mephistophélès op. 75 #3, on trouve également dans ce volume quelques oeuvres inédites, comme par exemple quatre versions différentes du lied de Mignon 'Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt'. La partition de la Beethoven-Gesamtausgabe (édition complète des oeuvres de Beethoven) sert de base à l'intégralité de ce volume, hormis la Chanson de la puce, revue grâce à la découverte récente du manuscrit. / Voix Et Piano
