'When Gabriel Fauré was appointed Director of the Paris Conservatoire in 1905, one of his most pressing concerns - and first achievements - was a complete reform of the teaching of singing. He was determined to introduce mandatory study of art song, along with 'exercises developing vocal suppleness, articulation, and voice placement and production, which are the basis of singing teaching'. To this end, between 1906 and 1916 he composed a substantial body of accompanied vocalises for use in the Conservatoire's sight-singing examinations. For a century these vocalises - all but one now held in the Archives nationales de France in Paris - have lain unknown to the musical world at large. Their first publication here marks a major event for the vocal teaching repertoire (as well as some entrancing music)- a marvellous resource of skilfully devised vocal exercises ranging from elementary to advanced virtuoso level, all from one of history's greatest song composers.'- Roy Howat / Voix Et Piano

Par STRAUSS RICHARD. Les huit lieder composés en 1885 sur des textes du poète Hermann von Gilm, aujourd?hui peu connu, occupent une place à part dans la production de lieder de Richard Strauss. Pour la première fois, il a mis ici en musique tout un groupe de lieder sur des textes d?un seul poète et les a ensuite réunis en un seul opus également destiné à l?impression. Certains numéros comme Zueignung, Die Nacht, et Allerseelen comptent parmi les lieder les plus populaires de Strauss, mais c?est aussi le cycle dans son intégralité qui est, de par son aménagement bien disposé, digne de considération: le compositeur encore en pleine évolution se situe ici très consciemment dans la tradition de Schubert à Wolf, et choisit, avec l?amour vain, un thème hautement romantique, qui se trouve mis en lumière sous les facettes les plus diverses. Parue en 1887 et d?abord écrite à l?intention d?une voix élevée, la première édition des Lieder op. 10 fut suivie, encore du vivant du compositeur, par des versions transposées pour voix moyenne et grave, ainsi que cela devint la règle pour tous les lieder de Strauss par la suite. L?édition Urtext de Henle se saisit de ces transpositions conservées jusqu?à aujourd?hui afin de pouvoir offrir ce merveilleux cycle de lieder à chaque tessiture vocale! / Date parution : 2022-06-14/ Répertoire / Voix Medium et Piano

American composer Celius Dougherty (1902-1986) is best remembered for his art songs. Gracious and witty they show a love of words with texts ranging from the most elite English and American poets to a dictionary entry(“Love in the Dictionary”). With a deep understanding of the voice and the piano Dougherty created a body of song literature that lives on in a steady flow of student and professional performances. This editionincludes several songs that were previously unpublished. Singers will love “Review ” a hilariously detailed critic's account of a voice recital.

First Edition. Par KORNGOLD ERICH WOLFGANG. Following the success of the first volume, Schott now presents the second volume of songs by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, published for the first time. They date from the early creative period of the 'child prodigy' and already show the extraordinary talent of the young composer. On the basis of the late Romantic musical language, he developed a totally individual sound world full of melodic breadth, refined harmony and sparkling inventiveness. Many of these marvellous songs were composed for certain events; with the operetta-like Die Gansleber im Hause Duschnitz, Korngold managed to write a real 'Viennese delicacy'. With the help of these two songbooks, singers, pianists and music lovers can, for the first time, get to know the musical beginnings of the composer who was later to become one of the most successful composers of film music in Hollywood./ Répertoire / Voix Moyenne et Piano

Par SATIE ERIK. La revue de café-concert (ou caf?conc?) était l?une des formes de divertissement populaire à Paris depuis la moitié du XIXe siècle et au début du XXe. Les programmes étaient composés de piécettes en un acte, d?airs d?opéra, de tours de chant, de danse, de numéros de cirque, etc. Dans le répertoire d?une soirée de café-concert, il y avait la valse chantée, sentimentale et très mélodique, sur des paroles racées ; Je te veux en constitue un exemple. Dans cette édition, la version transposée pour voix moyenne-grave de cette célèbre valse. / Date parution : 2022-07-20/ Répertoire / Voix Medium ou Grave et Piano

The Boosey Voice Coach is an entirely new concept in vocal training. Not a self-teaching manual, and not filled with off-putting diagrams, this series is a wholly practical guide to singing - learning about technique and interpretation through the repertoire itself. Each volume is devoted to singing in one particular language or to singing in a specific context, such as musical theatre or oratorio. In each volume of the series, works from the vocal canon have been selected specifically by Mary King for their technical and musical challenges. Each piece is discussed at length, starting with the words ('Text' - including a literal translation as appropriate), moving to general advice about how the song might be approached ('Notes'), and then addressing the technical difficulties the music presents ('Skills'). Expressed in clear language, Mary King's approach is direct, practical and not limited to one particular teaching method. Any student will find that these books enrich and complement their vocal studies.German can seem like an awkward language to sing in - there are just too many consonants! How do you get your tongue around them? And there are lots of regional differences in accent: is there a 'correct' pronunciation? What exactly is an Umlaut? These issues and more are covered in this book, which contains settings from some of the masters of song-writing in the German language. / Voix Moyenne Et Piano

Gathered in a unique volume, all the vocalises previously published in two anthologies by Ricordi in the Thirties. - All the 16 vocalises of each volume (low voice, medium voice, high voice) have been composed by very important composers of the Nineteenth century, like Alfano, Malipiero, Respighi, Casella, Pizzetti. - With piano accompaniment for each vocalise. / Voix Moyenne(s) Et Piano

Par POULENC FRANCIS. Calligrammes is a set of seven melodies by Francis Poulenc based on poems by Guillaume Appolinaire.

Francis Poulenc is French composer and pianist. He also produced Piano and Chamber pieces, Operas ('Dialogues des Carmelites'), ballets ('The does') as well as some Orchestral works./ Répertoire / Voix Moyenne et Piano

A student of Gabriel Fauré and Louis Verne at the Paris Conservatoire Nadia Boulanger (1887-1979) owes her aura to an exceptional teaching career spanning nearly 75 years during which she trained the most illustrious musicians from Copland to Glass not to forget Bernstein or Gardiner. In the past few years her creative work long considered negligible has finally been escaping from oblivion thanks to the untiring work of the Centre Nadia et Lili Boulanger directed by Alexandra Laederich. It is at her instigation that the publication of Nadia Boulanger's songs has continued in chronological order: after a first collection (HA 9725)devoted to the youthful works brought out during her lifetime by the publisher Hamelle the second volume presented here exclusively features unpublished works. First of all it contains three Romantic mélodies in German on poems by Heine – a surprising choice given that the composer felt more attracted by Symbolist poetry. This is attested to by the other songs in the collection on verses by Paul Verlaine Maurice Maeterlinck and Georges Delaquys three poets who were part of the literary pantheon of Nadia and her sister Lili. One will discover treasures of refinement and sensitivity in their musical settings.
