Synopsis

A substantial new edition of this beloved art song literature, standard fare for collegiate singers, with 10 more songs than the International edition. Historical notes are included for each song, and a line by line English translation for study. The edition includes the complete song groupings Poème d'un jour, Cinq mélodies de Venise and La bonne chanson. As is always the case in The Vocal Library, a beautiful painting, appropriate to the subject, adorns the cover: Georges Seurat's “A Sunday Afternoon on La Grande Jatte.”

Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924) composed around 100 songs throughout his life, with his early works reflecting romantic influences from poets like Victor Hugo. Fauré's compositions evolved in the 1890s with bolder pieces becoming sparser in his later years due to deafness. Despite being aware of emerging musical trends, he maintained a unique, personal style, prioritizing harmony over melody. Fauré, known for his slow, meticulous approach to composition, valued clarity, subtlety, and elegance, rejecting sentimentality and excess. Despite his modest celebrity during his lifetime, he is now revered as a master of French art song, with works spanning orchestra, chamber ensembles, choral music, and opera.
