Opera with a Prologue and four Acts (First version) / Opera in five Acts (Second version) Dialogue versions. Par GOUNOD CHARLES. Charles Gounod’s “Faust” secured its international recognition in the version as an entirely sung opera, which from thenceforth has largely obscured the fact that the work was originally composed with spoken dialogues. The early versions staged prior to the 1869 performance at the Paris Opéra containing substantial unknown material and with dialogues and melodramas are the subject of this new edition. (The third version “version opera” was published in a separate edition BA 8713 in 2016.) Even as the rehearsals were taking place at the Théâtre-Lyrique in 1858, during the first series of performances at the theatre in 1859, furthermore as the 1862 revival was approaching and during the performances on the smaller stage at the Place du Châtelet, there were constant changes and revisions. It is, thus, impossible to identify manifestly definitive versions. Nevertheless, by drawing on the entire source material now at hand (including fascinating material only recently discovered) and on the whole gamut of aspects communicated by the reception, Paul Prévost systematically presents us with a score laid out in two main versions in whose chronology constancy and change become transparent. With all the musical changes having been documented, the result is a practicable score for performances which reveals a still far too unknown “Faust” – a “Faust” that is rooted in the tradition of the opéra comique. Quite a few musical numbers are published as a score for the first time in this edition: the trio for Faust, Wagner and Siebel “À l’étude ô mon maître”, the duet of Valentin and Marguerite “Adieu, mon bon frère!”, Méphistophélès’ air “Maître Scarabée”, Siebel’s romance “Versez vos chagrins dans mon âme!”, Valentin’s air with chorus “Chaque jour, nouvelle affaire”, the chorus of witches “Un deux et trois”, and also seven melodramas whose missing or incomplete orchestration has been written for our edition. It was only recently that the long-lost second part of Faust’s original cavatina “Salut! demeure chaste et pure” was unearthed. Only in details of orchestration do other numbers differ from the well-known pieces./ Répertoire / Opéra

lyric. The OperAria repertoire collection for all voice genres that was successfully launched last year has produced lyrical soprano progeny: From Adele to Zerbinetta, from Pamina to Mimi and Ellen Orford - the first two (of altogether four) soprano volumes contain a representative sampling of important arias from the multifaceted lyrical repertoire. Classical audition arias can be found there, just as vocal gems from opera rarities and arias of classical modernity, each one obviously reliably and carefully edited. Accessorizing one's own lyrical voice, the singer will find a wealth of material such as: information on the composer, the librettist, the work, the vocal range, on questions concerning versions and scoring as well as on the storyline, along with instructive tips from a singer's viewpoint provided by experienced voice teachers and a Phonetics Text Assistant on CD-ROM with diverse possibilities of use. OperAria is the ideal vocal coach for all voice types. Edited by Peter Anton Ling, the books address all singers and are conceived above all for training and auditions. In addition, through their careful selection, they offer valuable inspiration for opera recitals. / Date parution : 2019-09-06/ Recueil / Soprano Lyrique

Description Charles Gounod: Romeo And Juliet (Vocal Score) Opera in five acts Songlist Romeo And Juliet

'Faust? stands for the composer Gounod himself, who was torn between the expression of excessive sensuality and a deep spirituality which he was searching for in his Catholic faith. As such, in this most important musical setting of Goethe's drama, the work was given a deeply personal interpretation. With a detailed Foreword (Fr/Eng/Ger) this new edition presents the genesis of the work with its various, during Gounod's lifetime, completely sung versions.The main version of our edition was performed at the Paris Opéra on 3 March 1869. However, simple cross references in the score enable a reconstruction of the earlier and later stages of this work for performance. Rounding off this publication is a critical edition of the libretto. All available sources are described and the Critical Commentary provides information about any changes made to the individual numbers.The two earlier Faust versions with spoken dialogue will be included in a separate volume within this series (in preparation, BA 8714). / Opéra

Par GOUNOD CHARLES. L'interprétation de Charles Gounod est le plus connu et le plus joué de n'importe quel stade ou le traitement d'orchestre de la légende de Faust. Faust était un grand succès lors de sa première performance pleinement réalisé à la Scala de Milan en 1862. Le lyrisme de l'Opéra, grande variété de l'humeur et la couleur d'orchestre, et la délimitation subtile de caractère continuent d'enchanter génération après génération de spectateurs. Désormais, les passionnés d'opéra peuvent étudier et apprécier le chef-d'oeuvre totale dans ce volume attrayant, qui a été tiré à part de l'édition autorité. Malgré la fréquence de ses performances, le travail de Gounod est difficile de trouver dans la presse, cette rare édition de la partition constitue un trésor pour les conducteurs, les interprètes et les majors de musique. / Niveau : Intermédiaire à Avancé / Répertoire / Opéra
