THE all-in-one French art song collection for sopranos and tenors One of my biggest problems with Amazon is that often you cannot see which specific songs and/or composers are featured in a collection. So, I take it upon myself to provide this information to you: Hector Berlioz - Villanelle Georges Bizet - Chanson d'avril; Guitare; Ouvre ton coeur Emmanuel Chabrier - Les cigales; Villanelle des petits canards Ernest Chausson - Hebe; Le charme; Le colibri; Le temps des lilas Claude Debussy - Beau soir; Les cloches; Mandoline; Noel des enfants qui n'ont plus de maisons Henri Duparc - Chanson triste; La vie anterieure; Lamento Gabriel Faure - Apres un reve; Automne; Chanson d'amour; Clair de lune; Lydia; Mandoline; Notre amour Cesar Frank - Nocturne Charles Gounod - L'absent; O ma belle rebelle; Venise Reynaldo Hahn - A Chloris; Offrande; Si mes vers avaient des ailes Vincent d'Indy - Madrigal Charles Koechlin - Si tu le veux Franz Liszt - Oh! quand je dors Johann-Paul Martini - Plasir d'amour Jules Massenet - Nuit d'Espagne; Si tu veux, Mignonne Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Dans un bois solitaire Emile Paladilhe - Psyche Francis Poulenc - Le Bestiaire (song cycle): Le dromadaire; Le chevre du Thibet; La sauterelle; Le dauphin; L'ecrevisse; La carpe Maurice Ravel - Sainte; Cinq melodies populares grecques (song cycle): Le reveil de la mariee; La-bas, vers l'eglise; Quel galant m'est comparable?; Chanson des cueilleuses de lentisques; Tout gai! Albert Roussel - Le bachelier de Salamanque; Sarabande Camille Saint-Saens - Aimons-nous; L'attente Erik Satie - Je te veux; La statue de bronze Deodat de Severac - Les hiboux; Philis Pauline Viardot - Fleur dessechee From the fairly simple (but beautiful) songs of Hahn (Si mes vers avaient des ailes) and Martini (Plasir d'amour), to the increasing difficulty of Liszt (Oh! quand je dors) and Paiadilhe (Psyche), the suprising and technically specific Mozart piece (Dans un bois solitaire), to the outright difficult pieces of Debussy (Mandoline) and the complete song cycles of Poulenc and Ravel, this book will allow for years of French art song repertoire to be learned and enjoyed. Each piece is preceded by a paragraph or two on the origin of the song and it's author(s), as well as a word-by-word translation. These useful additions assist the serious voice student in the full understanding of their new repertoire. | ||
Good Selection The selection of songs in this book is good, but it would be helpful to have the IPA pronunciation for them also. | ||
not a great sellection of music It's got the basics, but if you want a good selection of French music I've discovered that you have to buy it by composer. If you bought a book of Faure then you would have half of this book anyway. | ||
good product This was delivered quickly and in good condition. Keep up the good service. | ||
French Song Anthology: The Vocal Library, Low Voice This edition is beautiful and nicely laid out (for singing and studying). It is an eclectic song list and a great introduction to the French Melodie. | ||
